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.
Open the toolUsing the page
- Select a map.
- Select a brawler.
- Read the tables. Use the brawler filter to find a specific opponent or ally, and click a column header to sort.
| Table | Meaning |
|---|---|
| Strong against | Enemy brawlers this brawler tends to beat on this map |
| Weak against | Enemy brawlers that tend to beat it |
| Synergizes well with | Teammates that win more than usual when paired with it |
| Doesn't synergize well with | Teammates that win less than usual when paired with it |
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.
