What this does not know
- Our builds are a curated handful per hero, not a survey of what players run, so the counts above say nothing about which setup wins.
- Talent lists and attributes come from Liquipedia and may lag a patch that changes an emblem.
- The talent counts are plain tallies across the builds named above; a build that lists a talent once counts once.
