i say give her double jump to compensate
:sunglasses:

highest winrate in gm with 49.9% lowest diamond with 45.7%

btw insane pick rate as expected from the most precious

also i feel inclined to put a disclaimer here because people will take it too seriously. It’s just a funny post don’t mald too hard.

Her pickrate in GM is the highest, so she evens out on 50% winrate, but in general: Yes, Kiriko is massively underperforming.

This is a fact that the devs mentioned and everyone already knew, but people would rather look at montages and their own feelings.

No surprise there that Ana and Kiriko are STILL the most picked supports and Kiriko is underperforming.

We need a quadruple TP and double the duration of Suzu please also make her kunai home towards heads :v:

AT MINIMUM

Or how about her massive POTENTIAL damage that rivals DPS heroes lol

She’s been like this forever though. Like it’s always been known kiri has the worst winrate of any support in comp in NA/EU. Side note, I find it interesting how the NA/EU stats are very similar while Asia’s stats are so different in comparison.

EDIT: I think a while back a theory was brought up when the devs were talking about it that it may be in part because people MIGHT have a tendency to switch to kiri when they’re losing, thinking it’ll make a difference. Not sure how true that is.

welp she has the tools to make a difference…if you have the skill.

So where it actually matters she has an insane pickrate with a solid winrate but she’s consistently kept overkitted because she ā€œsucksā€ (players suck) in low ranks?

it’s average. bap has 52%, that’s solid. (with a good pick rate too)
don’t make kiri so much more than she is.

If Kiriko is constantly being picked by both teams then her winrate can only be roughly 50% or lower. Ana might have a higher winrate suggesting that most players below GM don’t play Ana for lack of experience and exposure.

Also, side note… Baptiste and Illari are probably suffering the most

Her ā€œinsaneā€ pickrate has a lot to do with the most played hero in the game, I’d say.

No, shes picked because shes overkitted. End of story

Its not Kiriko who they should buff. It’s Mercy.

She’s underperforming in just about every tier in terms of winrate, only getting close to 50% in higher tiers. She’s not ā€œoverkitted.ā€ She’s just the best counter to the hero that’s been holding the game hostage.

Sombra? It might just be easier to ban the Chupacabra…

I dunno if you’re joking, OP, but: the new stats page has a note saying that data collected starts from the beginning of the season, so this doesn’t account for any of s17 or previous seasons. It’s been less than a day so it might be an idea to hang on a bit, because already the stats have shifted around. :sweat_smile:

If buffs are on the table, though… I’d like it if paper had a faster travel speed. Even if it’s just for the first 15m or so before decelerating to its current speed. :pleading_face:

I really think that this is all that is needed. Maybe they should increase her fire rate back to what it originally was, so that you could throw 3 and weave healing instead of 2 and healing like it is now.

The data hasn’t really shifted. GM and above is the only place where her stats are decent (her winrate being shot up by mirror picks).
If you look at the rest of ladder, even decent tiers like Diamond and Masters, it’s not great. Overall, Ana is just the best pick (and that goes game-wide, Ana is THE meta hero atm).

(Also you talk of small data while looking at the smallest data set. GM/Champions is 0.5% of the playerbase.)

My point is that it’s too early to tell where Kiri stands. Kiri might need buffs, she might not need buffs, but the tracker is working with a day’s worth of data so it’s nothing to go by right this moment.

I suspect OP was joking anyway, and I put my post out there mainly for people who haven’t read the small print on the site.

As a Kiri main, I would love this. Even if they gave her nothing else, this would just make her feel so much better to play!
