Race balance and tier list

Measured rather than argued: every ranked 1v1 game recorded here, counted by race. A race is called strong or weak only when its win rate sits far enough from 50% that its own sample can tell the difference.

Based on 121,555 recorded matches since 2025-08-14. Grows as more games are ingested.

Ranked 1v1 only, and only matches with two sides of equal size. The figure after each win rate is the 95% confidence margin: a race counts as strong or weak only when that whole range falls on one side of 50%, so a thin sample cannot promote a race by accident.
