* few matches. We rank heroes by win rate over the last 14 days (never before the current patch), adjusted for sample size: a hero with few matches is pulled towards 50% so luck doesn't put it in S. Tiers are relative: S is roughly the top 10% of the roster, D the bottom 12%. Match data from the community Deadlock API.
