Predecessor Tier List: Ranked Heroes and Win Rates

Khaimera leads these ranked picks with a 53.8% win rate, while Scarlett attracts a 45.1% ban rate. This Predecessor tier list helps you compare results before committing to your next hero. Match wins, popularity, and bans tell different stories, and that distinction matters when choosing who to practice.

Ranked Hero Tiers at a Glance

These five heroes span S through D tier. Each placement pairs a tier rating with ranked-match statistics, giving you more context than a letter alone.

Read win rate alongside the game count. Khaimera’s placement comes with both the highest win rate and the largest sample among these heroes. Scarlett’s standout number is her ban rate, which exceeds even Khaimera’s despite her lower win rate.

S Tier: Khaimera

Khaimera is the strongest ranked performer among these five picks. His 53.8% win rate spans 52,769 ranked games, alongside a 36.4% pick rate. He combines frequent selection with winning results.

His jungle identity centers on sustain and extended fights. Spirit Regeneration supports that staying power, while Invigorate provides a cleanse. His straightforward kit also makes him an accessible hero for learning jungle combat.

Use his sustain to support longer engagements, but keep the role’s wider responsibilities in view: clear camps, look for ganks, and help your lanes. An approachable hero still leaves plenty to learn about moving around the map.

A Tier: Scarlett

Scarlett holds A tier with a 50.6% win rate across 30,446 ranked games. Her 21.0% pick rate shows substantial play, but her 45.1% ban rate is the number that stands apart.

That creates a practical drafting problem: choosing Scarlett as your main also means accounting for frequent bans. Keep another practiced hero ready when she is unavailable.

Separate ban pressure from match results when comparing her with Khaimera. Scarlett is banned more frequently, while Khaimera wins a higher percentage of his tracked games. Those statistics measure different parts of ranked play.

B Tier: Gideon

Gideon sits in B tier with a 49.1% win rate over 37,334 ranked games. His 25.7% pick rate makes him a common selection among this group, while his ban rate is just 1.0%.

His 2.3 KDA adds another useful comparison: it exceeds Khaimera’s 2.0 KDA despite Gideon’s lower win rate. Strong combat numbers and winning results do not always move together.

In midlane, balance your own lane with opportunities to rotate. Use Gideon’s match results as a benchmark, then judge your games by the pressure you create beyond individual kills.

C Tier: Akeron

Akeron’s C-tier placement comes with a 47.6% win rate across 10,115 ranked games. His pick rate is 7.0%, and his ban rate is 2.0%.

He has the smallest game sample among these five heroes. His lower pick rate describes how frequently he appears; the 47.6% win rate describes his results. Keep those separate when comparing him with the more frequently selected heroes above.

D Tier: Feng Mao

Feng Mao occupies D tier with a 46.7% win rate over 15,529 ranked games. His 10.7% pick rate and 1.1% ban rate accompany the lowest win rate in this comparison.

His combat averages offer a useful warning against judging performance by kills alone: 7.0 kills, 5.3 deaths, and 4.1 assists, with a 2.1 KDA, still accompany that D-tier placement.

If you play Feng Mao, evaluate what follows your engagements. Look for opportunities to turn successful fights into lane pressure and objectives instead of using your kill count as the measure of a strong game.
