≈ A sample of 251132 matches read from STRATZ (ranked All Pick of all ranks; the sample grows by itself): a hero needs at least 5 games to be listed (3 on one position). The rank is the bracket STRATZ gives the match, the position the one it gives the player. Until the sample is big enough these pages use our own parsed matches.
