Season 5: how the meta moved
Blizzard's public hero statistics, competitive win rates, mouse and keyboard · every rank, the three regions averaged · nightly
Read it patch by patch. Blizzard's rates page says “All stats are pulled from the start of the most recent patch.” Each night's number is a running total for the patch, so a patch that restarts them starts every hero over, and the jump between patches is what the patch did. This page compares patches, never days.
