There nonetheless aren’t any 7-3 or worse matchups. It’s fairly just like the opposite chart and a surprisingly slender vary of stability to anybody who’s accustomed to these kinds of charts in different video games.

If something, I really suppose a few of these matchups are actually nearer than the information reveals. Two of probably the most lopsided matchups within the sport in response to that chart (reminder: none really present as lopsided there since nothing is even 7-3) are Jaina vs Geiger and Lum vs Valerie.

Geiger might be the #1 most losingest character in opposition to me personally, so I used to be curious what my very own stats are. When filtering the above desk of knowledgeable participant outcomes for simply video games that I personally performed, I discovered that my Jaina vs knowledgeable Geigers is 6.7 – 3.3 in Jaina’s favor (in comparison with 3.4 – 6.6 the opposite means round). Admittedly a small pattern measurement there, however I really feel prefer it’s a case the place extra Jaina gamers simply must step it up.

I’ve extra to say about Lum although. He’s most likely probably the most troublesome character to play nicely. The biggest variety of totally different conditions occur when Lum is on the playfield as a result of his random units of things create all types of alternatives to benefit from issues if you understand how, improv, and act quick. It’s no shock that even amongst the highest 20% of gamers, they nonetheless don’t actually play him nicely sufficient.

The chart above lists Lum vs Valerie as 3.7 – 6.3, but if we solely take into account the matches I personally performed as Lum in opposition to those self same high gamers, the quantity turns into 6.75 – 3.25 in Lum’s favor. And in contrast to the earlier instance, it’s not a small pattern measurement. I assume that will really make it probably the most lopsided matchup in all the sport in the wrong way that the chart reveals, so it’s exhausting to know the actual reality. It’s additionally fascinating that gamers routinely name out that matchup as very very dangerous for Lum, but I’ve usually accepted challenges in it, win them, but I haven’t modified anybody’s thoughts apparently.

The underside line is that the above information reveals 89% of matchups are within the 6-4 to 4-6 vary, with ALL the remaining matchups simply barely worse, and 0% within the 7-3 or worse vary. And a few of the ones which are barely worse appear more likely to be inside that 6-4 to 4-6 vary too, finally. (Based mostly on my play at the least! Or wait, they’d nonetheless be least shut matchups, simply in the wrong way? Nicely, who is aware of.)
