The OWL pick rates are in

General Discussion

Just in case any one’s curious, we have official stats of the hero usage.

Right now it’s looking like the order is at

  1. Lucio
  2. Rein
  3. Mei
  4. D.Va
  5. Ana
  6. McCree

So the heroes listed above are probably on the nerf watchlist this week or the next. Then the order continues with:

  1. Orisa
  2. Reaper
  3. Baptiste
  4. Moira
  5. Widowmaker
  6. Winston
  7. Tracer
  8. Doomfist
  9. Sombra
  10. Genji
  11. Symmetra
  12. Brigitte
  13. Wrecking Ball
  14. Hanzo
  15. Mercy
  16. Sigma
  17. Zenyatta
  18. Zarya
  19. Junkrat
  20. Soldier: 76
  21. Pharah

So far, the only heroes who haven’t been played or picked at all are Roadhog, Bastion, Ashe, and Torb.

Well I think we know which heroes are getting banned on week 5, assuming this stays mostly the same.

Who would have thought that If you nerf 2 out of 3 shield tanks into the ground the last one will have a huge Pickrate

VERY VERY SHOCKING NEWS HERE

I wonder what a Lucio ban would mean meta wise.

I wonder If I’ve ever seen a dps with so much play time.

Imagine nerfing a tank that’s just being played to counter the DPS with an 84% pickrate

Dang, I would’ve thought Mei was #1. Weird if Lucio and Rein are on the chopping block for bans/nerfs though, my plat Lucio/Rein main friend won’t play comp for a week :sweat_smile:

Also nice to see Genji sitting in middle of the pack, that’s perfect in my opinion.

It’s close, but not a tie.

Mei is at 84%, Rein at 89%, and Lucio at a 92%.

Lucio is the closest thing to a must-pick right now.

It would mean dive 24/7. No other comp can operate properly without Lucio, save bunker. But bunker got nerfed into the ground, so not many options left. Especially since Rein will most likely be banned as well.

giving this a second look:
keep in mind this is apparently for only one game: Dallas v SF

Wow, I thought that list of Mei, Rein and Lucio would’ve been reversed.

Another odd note, first time I’ve seen Hog get absolutely 0 use. I’d assume Orisa is only ran for double barrier? Otherwise if Orisa is picked that much it’d facilitate him a lot.

That can’t be right, because Lucio has 13 hours of playtime on the chart.

Its obvious to see who is meta right now with this but personally for me, it’s nice to see OWL using more characters than what is part of the meta and, even though they were quite similar, there wasn’t much mirror match comps so far in each match.
