I know he’s not in the game yet but after a brief wiki dive I don’t think I’ve ever seen the juggernaut featured in a swimsuit edition or even wearing casual clothing. I have seen him in a suit. i am very much looking forward to whatever they cook up for this big, beefy man whenever they decide to add him!
Hoping he's in the ME shop soon. It's been 84 years.
With sister Storm once again having one of the lowest pick rates do y'all think she is in consideration for a future rework?
A low pick rate alone may not be enough to justify major changes, unlike the current Widow who is struggling with both a low pick rate and win rate, yet Storm continues to maintain a strong win rate despite her limited usage. This may suggest that her issue may be accessibility or player preference rather than effectiveness. I honestly can't remember if Thor and Jeff had high win rates and pick rates before their reworks.
It will be interesting to see whether the Season 9 buffs and new team-up increase her popularity and pick rate going forward. I hope they do because her team ups look very fun! I'm still warming up to the idea of Storm healing but hey we got jubilee and gambit out here healing so why not.
I enjoy how Storm plays now and I really like the concept of a support-focused duelist, but I can understand why she may not be considered as "fun" as other characters and why her pick rate currently is the way it is.
PC Quick Play win rate 47.17% win rate with a 1.55% pick rate

TLDR the nerfs have obliterated her pick rate and it looks like the only people playing her now are dedicated one tricks who seem to be able to make her work when they use her. What a mess. Felicia's win rate does not go above 49% on console until celestial and above... These nerfs were ridiculously harsh and this is the result.
Hero Hot List (Last Season) UPDATE TIME:2026/6/9 For Reference

Console Quick Play win rate 49.257% with a 4.78% pick rate
PC Cumulative Comp win rate 55.17% with a 2.42% pick rate
Console Cumulative Comp win rate 53.55% with a 2.38% pick rate
PC Celestial and Above win rate 53.06% with a 2.68% pick rate
Console Celestial and Above win rate 55.14% with a 2.17% pick rate
EDIT
Since the nerfs Black Cat Has lost 70% of her competitive pick rate, 70% of her quick Play pick rate, and over 50% of her high-rank pick rate.
not great.
Wanted to preface this by saying that I'm pretty sure win rate is NOT the only factor the dev team uses when making balance changes. Also not sure how accurate these win rate sites are but that is all the data we have until the hero hot list is released.
Not a data or math person but I find stuff like this interesting. From what I can infer, despite her mega nerfs her pick rate is still low but high level players are still making her work. The rivals meta Quick Play win rate at 59% feels suspect so I'm assuming the rivals tracker 45% is more accurate.
Going off of this I am a bit scared for balance changes in the future. even with her low pick rate if they buff her high level players are going to destroy with her.
Rivals meta:
Quick Play win rate at 59.34% win rate with a 7.81% pick rate (had storm's win rate at 25% and cyclops at 80% in QP so not sure if this is valid)

Celestial + win rate 51.22% with a 2.22% pick rate
Eternity + win rate 49.72% with a 2.67% pick rate
Rivals Tracker:
Quick Play win rate at 45.28% win rate with a 5.26% pick rate (I had to filter by duelist since it was giving the same win rate and pick rate as cumulative comp)

Celestial win rate 51.34% with a 2.18 % pick rate

I am a firm, passionate advocate for rivals slutting out these men and making male characters not look like ken dolls but after seeing caps swimsuit moment in game I had a moment of pause. Honey his dick is clipping through the chair emote and the wolf cap, paddle board, and avengers emote moment almost give him a full on boner. I HAVE TO LAUGH! It will be interesting to see how the community reacts to this and if they keep this energy up for the men. I am not judging anyone for their preferences, as I am very much into this skin and bought it myself, but whew I was not prepared for all that, even after seeing the trailers.
If they do decide to nerf his bulge I hope they buff his butt even more as compensation
It's for 600 blue units and it's under the HOT section in the in-game store. I bought it today with my free blue units!
Unfortunately we have to show the devs that the characters we use are marketable and can sell well so if this is a test I want us to pass!
I don’t plan to fully meltdown until Friday but has anyone figured out her new kill combos? not having a second dash is going to make it extremely difficult to escape once you engage and not having the extra coins for aggressive second dashes is going to be miserable. MY MUSCLE MEMORY!
Is the strat to just yoink for fortune and hide until someone is isolated or super low? i feel like we won’t be able to soft engage anymore without a second dash.
It‘s wild that she got no compensation buffs but hey at least crown’s price didn't get inflated 🫠
this is my first melee and dive character I’ve ever vibed with so i’m curious if this always happen to them in hero shooters?
honestly, I think she’ll at least get a mini pass event skin either this season or the next.
increased fortune for abilities, increased cooldowns or decreased damage?
Are y’all excited? I’m honestly hoping she gets the psylocke treatment (you don’t see her in games often but people buy her skins regardless).
with his huge hitbox I’m not sure how anyone will be able to miss turn of fortune or her dashes. I’ve got money in my eyes!!
The DBZ of it all. Any way, thanks for listening Netease! Hopefully we can get Classic and Astonishing X-Men Emma sooon!
