Match-ups: counters and synergies

The Match-ups page answers two questions for a brawler on a map: who does it beat or lose to? and who does it team up well with? The same relationships feed the Draft Tool suggestions.

Using the page

  1. Select a map.
  2. Select a brawler.
  3. Read the tables. Use the brawler filter to find a specific opponent or ally, and click a column header to sort.

Note

If a brawler has no row for an opponent, there are not enough games between them on that map to say anything.

The counter score

Every game gives 9 head-to-head pairs: each brawler of one team faced each brawler of the other. Metapick counts, for each pair, how often one side won.

  • A match-up needs enough games between the two brawlers before it gets a score.
  • The score measures how decisive the match-up is compared to the brawler's other match-ups on that map.
  • The sign tells who wins: negative = this brawler wins the match-up (it is in “Strong against”), positive = it loses (it is in “Weak against”).

The synergy score

Synergy works the same way for teammates: when two brawlers are on the same team on a map, how often does the team win, compared to what each brawler does on average? Pairs with few games are smoothed so a lucky streak does not look like a combo.

Pairs that do better than expected appear in “Synergizes well with”, pairs that do worse in “Doesn't synergize well with”.

Tips

  • A hard counter is not an auto-win. Position, teammates and skill still matter.
  • In a draft, counters matter most for brawlers the enemy already picked; synergies matter most for the picks you still have to make. The Draft Tool lets you tune that balance.
  • Match-ups are computed per map, so the same pair can be one-sided on one map and even on another.
