So, we've had a week to play around with the new scaling. Here's a brief look at the aftermath in hero league:
Largest Movers
Diablo has increased his win rate by 5.1% putting him at 56% global win rate and by far the highest warrior.
Thrall has increased his win rate by 4.8% putting him at 54.9% global win rate.
Anub'arak has increased his win rate by 3.8% putting him at 51.1% win rate.
On the other side of the spectrum:
Azmodan has decreased his win rate by 2.9% putting him at a 46.9% global win rate.*
Li Li has decreased her win rate by 2.7% putting her at a 51.7% global win rate.
Jaina has decreased her win rate by 2.6% putting her at a 48.4% global win rate
Highest/Lowest win rate
Tyrande continues to climb and is currently resting at 56.8% after gaining an additional 3.1%.
Raynor now boasts 56.5% after gains of 2.2%
Diablo is the surprise third best, as above he's currently at 56% after a huge gain of 5.1%
All three are now over the threshold of acceptance (45%-55%), however Tyrande has been consistently pushing past this following her buffs a few patches ago. I would expect nerfs for her in the coming weeks.
On the other side of the spectrum:
Abathur continues dragging the bottom end of things, he's down 1% from previous to leave him with a lowly 41.8% win rate.
Illidan hasn't moved at all which sadly still leaves him at 44.4% win rate.
Zeratul has taken quite the beating recently, he drops another 1.6% leaving him at 48.4% win rate.
I would expect some kind of Abathur changes soon. A reverse to the recent Uther changes, Blizzard will likely want to improve his lower level ability whilst leaving his higher level ability untouched.
Talent changes for the movers
Diablo
- 1 - Many players now picking up Soul Feast on level 1. This talent has seen an almost 10% increase in popularity and dropping other level 1 talents by the wayside.
- 4 - Demonic Strength has seen a -20% change in popularity but a 16% increase in win rate. Players seem to be wanting to stay with Fire Devil above all other talents, but Demonic Strength may be worth keeping an eye on, slows are becoming a big thing lately.
- 7 - Battle momentum is the big thing here. It's seen a 35% increase in popularity, whilst not boasting much of a relative win rate increase. From the Shadows boasts the largest win rate increase this tier of 19%, though the sample size on this talent is still too small.
- 10 - Both herocis seem to be doing well, 1% changes in popularity either way, both win rates steady at 56-57%.
- 13 - Firestorm is the only talent to increase in popularity, all others are down. It's far and away the best win rate talent, but all others have made strong gains in their respective win rate here.
- 16 - Rampage continues to be the most popular and boasts the highest win rate. However, Continuous Overpower has increased in win rate by 14% and is just barely behind Rampage now.
- 20 - Bolt of the Storm is up by 30% in popularity and is now the strongest choice here statistically at 69% win rate. Lord of Terror is a close second.
Thrall
- 1 - Rabid Wolves has increased in popularity by 20% here, Block continues to be statistically the strongest choice here and is the only talent to increase in win rate.
- 4 - Spirit Journey is up a whopping 44% in popularity and also boasts a 17% increase to win rate, Ride the Lightning is down 17% in popularity but is still statsitically the best choice.
- 7 - Stone Wolves make an impressive 32% increased in popularity and back it up with a 9% increase to win rate. Follow Through is still the strongest choice, but is down 20% in popularity.
- 10 - Earthquake has seen a massive 16% increase to win rate bringing it level with Sundering. Worth consideration.
- 13 - Things are fairly steady at 13, no large movers in terms on win rate. There's been plenty more experimentation with Restless Wolves and win rates on this tier are almost all equal now.
- 16 - Ride The Wind is up by 65% in popularity. Tempest Fury has fallen from the top spot to make room for Forked Lightning which is marginally ahead at this point.
- 20 - Worldbreaker is up in both popularity and win rate, however strongest pick is Nexus Blades (those slows guys).
Anub'arak
- 1 - Persistent Carapace has seen a 17% increase in popularity while Regeneration Master is down 15%. Assault Scarab remains the most popular, despite Regeneration Master being statistically the better choice.
- 4 - Many more players have started trying Mercenary Lord, up 25%, it sadly remains far and away the weakest choice here. Legion of Beetles remains the most popular and powerful talent choice.
- 7 - Bed of Barbs continues the trend of snares increasing in popularity, up 8% in popularity. Leeching Scarabs remains the most popular choice despite Urticating Spines offering a statistically better alternative.
- 10 - Locust Swarm is up 20% in popularity and remains the stronger choice in general offering a 6% lead over Cocoon.
- 13 - Almost no change at 13, proportionally nothing has changed this tier. Burning Rage is still the top dog in popularity and win rate.
- 16 - Beetle, Juiced rises 34% in popularity. However, Epicenter is up 16% and has taken the throne from Blood for Blood by becoming the strongest choice the tier.
- 20 - Hive Master soars ahead in popularity, up 25% to match the level 10. It remains the strongest choice this tier. Hardened Shield has fallen by around 9% in terms of win rate.
--------------------------------
*Note, I believe there is currently a bug with Black Pool not working properly right now which may explain a lot of his fall.
