FAQ

General

Is Metapick free?

Yes. The draft tool and all the statistics are free, without ads. Some features are reserved for supporters, see Metapick Champion.

Who makes Metapick?

One person: a Brawl Stars player and data engineer. Feedback from the community on Discord shapes what gets built.

Is it official?

No. It is a fan project, not endorsed by Supercell.

Does it work on mobile?

Yes. Every tool has a mobile layout, and the draft tool adapts its controls: you tap brawlers in draft order instead of using left and right click.

How do I change the language?

Use the flag menu in the top bar. The tools exist in 11 languages; this wiki is in English and French.

Data and predictions

Where do the numbers come from?

From ranked games of Masters and Pro players, collected through the official Brawl Stars API. Details in Statistics.

How does the AI choose a pick?

A neural network trained on ranked games looks at the map, both teams and the bans, and scores each remaining brawler. Synergies and counters from the match-up data are weighed in, and you can change those weights in the draft tool settings.

Does it work for Trophy Road or other modes?

No. Everything is built from ranked games, on maps currently in the ranked rotation.

Is the predicted win rate a guarantee?

No. It is an estimate for the draft only. It does not know who will play, and it cannot see skill or communication.

When are stats updated?

Statistics follow the game version. After a balance update a new version starts and the numbers refill as games come in.

Why do the tier list and the draft tool disagree?

The tier list ranks brawlers on a map in general. The draft tool ranks them for your specific draft, so a brawler can be A tier overall and still not be the best pick right now.

Account and privacy

Why Discord to log in?

The supporter role is on the Metapick Discord server, so signing in with Discord lets the site see it without a second account.

What does Metapick know about me?

Your Discord id, display name, avatar, and your roles and nickname on the Metapick server. Not your messages. Settings, recent tags and the puzzle profile stay in your browser.

Do I need my player tag?

Only for tools that read your account: the Upgrade Helper, the Tracker and the optional personalisation of the draft tool.

How do I support the project?

Become a member on Buy Me a Coffee, or simply share Metapick with your team.

Drafts and puzzles

Why 6 bans in the Draft Tool but 3 per team in Live Draft?

Both add up to 6. In the Draft Tool you place all the bans yourself; in Live Draft each team bans 3 in secret.

Why did I get a bad grade on an obvious pick?

Puzzles are scored against the AI's ranking, not against what is popular. See how a puzzle is scored, and open the “Best picks” tab to see why the top picks won.

How many puzzles can I play?

10 scored puzzles a day plus the daily puzzle. Champions have no limit. See Puzzles.
