Lances are also used a bit more often than during the previous patch with a 7% increase at both levels of play. We have noticed a ~10% increase to Gadgets Destroyed per round at both levels due to more Lances detonating successfully. It seems that the fuse time reduction is making it a bit harder for defenders to counter-play, but not overwhelmingly so. Y5S2.1 Update: Echo has a lowered Win Delta, moving from 0.9% to -0.2% at the Top level of play and a slightly reduced presence compared to Y5S2.Ĭhanges brought to Kali's Lance has led to 13% reduction in Lances Destroyed per round at Top Ranked level and a 10% reduction for Casual levels of play. The addition of Melusi probably had a direct effect on Echo's ban rate. Echo is banned much less at Top Ranked (from 68% to 38%) and Casual (from 59% to 37%) levels. Y5S2.1 Update: Oryx has an improved Win Delta, moving from -3.0% to -0.2% at the Top level of play but we are still monitoring this - the size of data we have on him this season is relatively low.Įcho players at the Top level have experienced a solid Win Delta increase from (from 0.4% to 0.9%), while his pick rate and win delta for the Casual population haven't moved.

His Pick Rate remains low at both levels with 4%. Oryx has seen solid increases to his Win Delta as a result of these changes, but he still needs more help from -2.3% to -2.0% for Casual players, and from -3.8% to -3.0% for Top Ranked after the changes. In both Top Ranked and Casual - Regular players did not dash during 22.5% of rounds in Y5S1.2 (down to 17.2% in Y5S2.0). We have also seen a nice reduction in rounds during which the Remah Dash is not used. At both levels we see significant increases to the number of wall dashes per round (+16% for Top Ranked, and +26% for Casual). It looks like players have responded well to the Remah Dash Damage reduction. In the current season, Oryx has a slightly higher Win%, 7% higher kills per round, and a better K/D ratio that exceeds 1.0! The addition of the Angled Grip has provided Oryx players with a stronger option - although it seems this has not been fully accepted amongst the community: The Vertical Grip is still picked 59% of the time.
