The 2nd screenshot was, the first one wasn’t. I think you’re probably remembering when it was double shield. That’s the only time he got that low regularly. Usually it was around 1.5%-2%
Not by enough to be statistically significant. Overbuff is a sample that can be off by like 1%. At that level of difference they could be higher than her.
She’s in a tier with them, not above them.
Here’s another one discussing Genji on the same day that his buffs went on ptr.
Nope. But because you cannot know, you cannot make the claim that her relative position proves she’s better. You can say she has one. Heroes that are picked around the same amount are in the same tier. Not one definitely better than the other unless one has a significantly higher winrate that cannot be explained away by being niche.
Edit
Sombra is used more in league/top 500, so she is a bit above average. But not because she’s getting picked so much more than other heroes in ladder.
I’m looking at that date and he had a 1.2% pickrate in GM
This was when Ana was the most picked support and Genji is supposed to be great with Ana, and yet he only had a 1.2% pickrate.
No, they are not. There are more factors in determining the state of a hero than pickrate and winrate.
You can’t go by day to day data. You didn’t dispute that was his general use data in that thread, so forgive me if I don’t buy that the week/month aggregate data did not put him there on your say so. There is a screenshot right there that shows otherwise.
Yes. They are when we’re discussing pickrates. Which you know, we’re literally doing. You made a claim about pickrate.
Sombra is in the same pickrate tier as 6 heroes and below 2 of them. That’s average pick
“Please nerf Sombra so I can give other people hell for free”
ETA: I’m sick of this mindset. It’s also how Junkrat got nerfed. People refuse to want to get better. Turn around and hit her just once to cancel the hack and put it on CD.
I can’t play Junkrat into a match with a Pharah without my team raging at me, so you also gotta learn to swap when you’re getting countered or just deal with being countered. Right? Those are your options.
Coming to the forums and begging to get a counter nerfed is petty and unacceptable.
I don’t like Doomfist and his annoying constipated grunts. Please remove him, Blizzard.
Not according to that screenshot it doesn’t say that was his average. Perhaps that particular day, daily data is generally volatile and irrelevant.
Because this entire conversation is about pickrates and there is a tier calculation that solely goes by pickrates. Why would I suddenly be talking about something completely different?
Sombra is average. She’s viable. She’s got neither particularly good nor bad pickrate.
Who cares what it was titled? At this point I have posted a ton of data captures from that time period that shows he was generally on a 1.5%-2% pickrate. You have posted zero evidence as to your claim that is not the case, and instead want to go by single day data.
You didn’t even argue with that number being the correct aggregate data when it was posted, so clearly you knew it was accurate then. Wonder what changed. Maybe your claim he was generally less than that.
Blizzard has removed the patch numbers from their patch notes.
Of single games, where we are posting aggregated stats of a VERY large number of games.
Genji has historically been picked very well, and has, historically had EXTREMELY better pick and win rates, DURING the times where Sombra has been nerfed.
Blizzard hasn’t handled it remotely evenly.
I don’t blame you for that, because you are not blizzard. But, like, this is a VERY odd hill you have chosen to die on.
