I’m back again. This time I have the DPS pick rates. Fun facts.
There are 9 champion DPS in NA as of the time I collected the data. That’s crazy!
Top 500 starts at Masters 2.
There are only 6 DPS that have anyone 1-tricking them. Junk has the most with 3. This is way fewer than tanks.
DPS had the most even distribution between most played and least played of any role. Tanks were the least leaning very heavily into their mains. Support was in the middle.
The most picked DPS are not a surprise. It’s Tracer, Sojourn, and Cassidy.
Mei and Sym are even worse than I thought. I didn’t think they were doing well, but those are some of the worst pick rates of any role. The only hero close is Ram in Asia.
Here are the charts.

Here are links to my previous posts for supports and tanks.
To be fair the changes were first discussed in season 8 before the global health and projectile changes and before he resurfaced to the top of the ladder.
Mag nade rework and ult QOL changes still make sense since they’re both janky, doesn’t matter if he’s good now or not. Magnetic grenade has needed a rework to feel better to play against since forever
Probably, but that just means their planning and testing is pretty bad, if they didn’t anticipate him becoming stronger after those changes.
I agree, but devs only have so many hours in the day. Putting any time into QOL changes to heroes who are already strong is not worth it, when those same devs could be working on heroes who actually need help instead.
Thank you for this, because with all the Sombra is overpowered “Broken” etc. Her statistics do not support that claim, if anything it is the complete opposite.
