Δ compares the pair’s raw win rate with Viscous’s overall 45.6% win rate. It is an unadjusted difference between endpoint populations, not a normalized counter score or the effect of choosing a hero. Enemy results include heroes across the opposing team, regardless of lane.

Source queries & population notes

Retrieval time describes this fetch, not the provider’s last update. Sample sizes are recorded observations from incomplete source coverage.

Provider match-start window: 2026-10-21T00:00:00.000Z through 2026-10-28T00:00:00.000Z (inclusive). The source rounds the requested bounds outward to whole hours.

Enemy team matchup outcomes, regardless of assigned lane. A row describes wins with the selected hero against a team containing that enemy; it is not a duel or lane win rate.

Matchup coverage can differ from hero-summary coverage. Comparisons with the hero baseline are descriptive percentage-point differences, not adjusted counter or synergy estimates.
