The above chart presents the difference between the average winrate for the hero main and the average winrate for the tier, using the same heroes as found in the second chart. Note that we are comparing the hero main winrates with the general winrate for the tier. We know that specializing in meta heroes generally yields high winrates , and these heroes are no exception. In this case, these heroes generally observe winrates 2% to 10% higher than the tier average. The players that are maining meta heroes know those heroes in and out, and these winrates correlate well with that. Without a doubt, Junkrat is *the* hero this season when it comes to winrates, and Junkrat mains are averaging +6% higher winrates across all the tiers. His buffs in Patch 1.14 have really turned him into one of the highest impact heroes in the game . Note that the other popular hero mains average around +4% higher winrates than their tier averages. Mercy in particular has changed quite a bit with Patch 1.15 - whereas in Season 5 maining Mercy didn't provide a winrate advantage - that has clearly changed. Players that main Mercy are now seeing higher winrates that players that only occasionally play Mercy - which may point to the idea that her skill ceiling has been increased.
