Sources

  • Roster · 127 heroesread 15 Sept 2026

    Name, primary attribute, attack type and role list, read from Valve’s published hero data.

  • Win rate, pick rate and sampleread 15 Sept 2026

    Counted over 4,610,063 public matches, per hero, with the same figures again above Ancient. The tier letter is derived from the win rate and is labelled so wherever it appears.

  • Served from Valve’s own CDN and never copied into this site. Steam’s API terms permit commercial use; GamGem is not endorsed by Valve.

  • What players buildread 15 Sept 2026

    The five most common items on each hero in each of Valve’s four game stages, counted over public matches. Each row carries its own pick count.

  • Matchups and game lengthread 16 Sept 2026

    Who each hero loses to and beats, counted over public matches with a floor of 30 games per pair, plus the same hero's win rate in each of five game-length bands. ⚠️ Observational: a matchup win rate is not a claim that one hero counters another by design. Synergy — how a hero does WITH another — is not published by this channel and is not shown.

  • Patch movementread 16 Sept 2026

    Which heroes the live patch names, and which way each line moved, counted off Valve’s own structured notes. A line the rule cannot read leaves the hero unmarked rather than guessed.

The roster is the one Valve publishes for patch 7.41f. Draft picks are kept in this browser and never sent anywhere.
