Share of character appearancesPick rate before and after v1.10
Ranks 21–46, both players in one band · before: 2 Nov 2025 – 25 Mar 2026, 141,461 matches · after: 26 Mar 2026 – 18 Oct 2026, 869,835 matches3 of 19 characters' pick rates changed at v1.10 by more than chance: Lion (3.20% → 4.96%), Jean (3.32% → 4.56%), Jeffry (4.00% → 5.57%).
The change is the average after v1.10 minus the average before, with its error counted per player, since one player's matches are not independent. p is the share of 1,000 random deals of the calendar days to the two periods (each keeping its number of days) that produced a change as large; the textbook p would have called 6.2% of those chance changes significant at 0.05. q corrects p across the 19 characters (Benjamini–Hochberg), and a character is marked where q < 0.05.
A change here happened at v1.10; it does not show the patch caused it. Players arrived and left around the launch, and a character's rate can move because different people play it.
In both periods a player's character is read from the opponent's record of the same match, since there is no openings pull before v1.10 or for the low band's players. On 1,545,822 v1.10 player-matches that the openings pull also covers, the two methods agree 100.00% of the time.
Dural is left out of the tests and the panels, as on the tier list. Dural's appearances still count in every pick rate's denominator.
