How this is measured: each hero's average ranked win rate over the first 7 days of data in August 2026 is compared with its average over the last 7 days, so one unusual day cannot make or hide a move. Pick rates are averaged the same way, and the most banned and most picked lists use the whole month. Meta rank is the hero's place on the meta tier list on the first and last day. "Countered by" is today's data from each hero's page. The numbers in this report are fixed and will not change. For the last 7, 14 or 30 days, see Meta Movers.
