Patch Score measures change from the latest balance update, not overall hero strength. Meta Tier reflects current competitive standing from verified external data.

Still meta-relevant despite nerfs. This hero lost patch score, but remains a strong competitive pick due to S-Tier baseline strength.

Why this score?

  • Mixed — buffs: abilities more often and abilities improved; nerfs: damage down and nerfed. Net negative.
  • S Tier in current meta: dominating the current meta — top-tier in ranked.
  • Stable across 5 patches (10B / 9N across all patches).

Mixed buffs and nerfs — direction depends on your playstyle.
