How much heroes move without any change
The 110 heroes this patch did not touch moved 0.4 win-rate points on average between the same two dates, and nine in ten moved 0.8 points or less. A changed hero has to move further than that before the change is a likely reason.
Did the changes point the way they were meant to?
- 4 of the 11 buffed heroes gained win rate.
- 3 of the 5 nerfed heroes lost win rate.

Read this before drawing conclusions
- This shows what moved, not why. A hero's rates also change because of other heroes' changes, ban habits, new players trying a hero and the rank mix.
- The "before" figures are our stored snapshot from the patch day, which covers the 7 days leading up to it. The "after" figures are the live official 7-day numbers for all ranks. Both use the same source.
- Reworked heroes can change so much that the before and after are close to different heroes, so no direction is implied for them.
- We only have a snapshot for patches that came out after we began storing history, so older patches cannot be shown.
