There nonetheless aren’t any 7-3 or worse matchups. It’s fairly just like the opposite chart and an incredibly slender vary of steadiness to anybody who’s accustomed to most of these charts in different video games.
If something, I really assume a few of these matchups are actually nearer than the info reveals. Two of probably the most lopsided matchups within the recreation in response to that chart (reminder: none really present as lopsided there since nothing is even 7-3) are Jaina vs Geiger and Lum vs Valerie.
Geiger might be the #1 most losingest character towards me personally, so I used to be curious what my very own stats are. When filtering the above desk of skilled participant outcomes for simply video games that I personally performed, I discovered that my Jaina vs skilled Geigers is 6.7 – 3.3 in Jaina’s favor (in comparison with 3.4 – 6.6 the opposite approach round). Admittedly a small pattern dimension there, however I really feel prefer it’s a case the place extra Jaina gamers simply have to step it up.
I’ve extra to say about Lum although. He’s in all probability probably the most tough character to play properly. The biggest variety of totally different conditions occur when Lum is on the playfield as a result of his random units of things create all kinds of alternatives to reap the benefits of issues if you understand how, improv, and act quick. It’s no shock that even amongst the highest 20% of gamers, they nonetheless don’t actually play him properly sufficient.
The chart above lists Lum vs Valerie as 3.7 – 6.3, but if we solely think about the matches I personally performed as Lum towards those self same high gamers, the quantity turns into 6.75 – 3.25 in Lum’s favor. And in contrast to the earlier instance, it’s not a small pattern dimension. I suppose that may really make it probably the most lopsided matchup in the whole recreation in the other way that the chart reveals, so it’s onerous to know the true fact. It’s additionally fascinating that gamers routinely name out that matchup as very very dangerous for Lum, but I’ve usually accepted challenges in it, win them, but I haven’t modified anybody’s thoughts apparently.
The underside line is that the above knowledge reveals 89% of matchups are within the 6-4 to 4-6 vary, with ALL the remaining matchups simply barely worse, and 0% within the 7-3 or worse vary. And a number of the ones which are barely worse appear more likely to be inside that 6-4 to 4-6 vary too, finally. (Based mostly on my play at the least! Or wait, they’d nonetheless be least shut matchups, simply in the other way? Effectively, who is aware of.)
