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 these kinds of charts in different video games.
If something, I truly suppose a few of these matchups are really nearer than the information reveals. Two of essentially the most lopsided matchups within the sport based on that chart (reminder: none truly 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 manner round). Admittedly a small pattern measurement there, however I really feel prefer it’s a case the place extra Jaina gamers simply must step it up.
I’ve extra to say about Lum although. He’s in all probability essentially the most tough character to play effectively. The most important variety of completely different conditions occur when Lum is on the playfield as a result of his random units of things create all types of alternatives to benefit from issues if you know the way, improv, and act quick. It’s no shock that even amongst the highest 20% of gamers, they nonetheless don’t actually play him effectively sufficient.
The chart above lists Lum vs Valerie as 3.7 – 6.3, but if we solely take into account the matches I personally performed as Lum towards those self same prime 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 measurement. I suppose that will truly make it essentially the most lopsided matchup in all the sport in the wrong way that the chart reveals, so it’s laborious to know the actual reality. It’s additionally fascinating that gamers routinely name out that matchup as very very dangerous for Lum, but I’ve typically 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 can be barely worse appear prone to be inside that 6-4 to 4-6 vary too, finally. (Based mostly on my play no less than! Or wait, they’d nonetheless be least shut matchups, simply in the wrong way? Nicely, who is aware of.)
