1st place — Standing tall at a whopping 11.1 SDs away from the league average is your boy Shaz with the ‘EXPERIENCE MY ORBS’ award. Shaz receives this award for his Zenyatta play during a King’s Row defense vs the Shock during Stage 2. Shaz played Zen for just over 3 minutes on this round and healed for a total of 9,760; or 31,831 healing per 10. This compares quite nicely to the league performance average of 6,806 Healing per 10 minutes. What makes this performance so incredibly impressive is that on the same round, Shaz also set league high records for Shots Fired, Ultimates Earned, Ultimates Used, Shots Hit, and All Damage Done on Zenyatta (all 10 SD or more above the league average).

2nd Place — Although technically this achievement is more deviant than Shaz’s, I am putting it in second place because Shaz had so many high deviation records on his King’s Row round. Anyway, at 11.5 SDs above the average is Zunba is awarded the ‘Screenshotted Proof of Aimbotting’ award for playing D.Va while attacking on Horizon Lunar Colony vs New York during Stage 4. In this round Zunba achieved a 34% critical hit accuracy during his four and a half minutes on D.Va, hitting 91 Critical hits out of 268 total shots hit. This is quite a number given the league average is 8.3%. However, this performance was overall not very standout as Zunba had 0 final blows, 1 elimination, and 3 deaths during his play as D.Va on this round.

3rd Place — In a very close third place finish, with 11.0 SDs above the average, its Janus with the ‘Goomba Stomp’ award, and let me tell you this is a weird one. Janus played Winston for 5 minutes on Lijiang: Night Market vs the Boston Uprising in Stage 4 and he dealt a total of 559 damage with his Leap while in Primal Rage, or 1,123 Damage per 10 minutes, compared to the league average performance of 112 damage per 10 minutes.

4th Place — Poko made a big name for himself with his famous Poko Bombs during stage one, and it looks like that reputation was justified due to this next award. For Self Destruct Damage dealt at 10.8 SDs above the league average, Poko receives the ‘affaiblir cela’ (Google translated ‘nerf this’ from English to French because I’m so cultured) award. Poko receives this award for a round on Oasis: University vs the Shock during stage one. Poko dealt a total of 2,728 damage with his self destruct in less than 4 minutes of play, or 7,066 Self Destruct Damage per 10 minutes (compared to league average of 700 self destruct damage per 10). For those curious, in this round poko set off two self destructs eliminating 6 players.

5th Place — Next up its league heartbreaker Shadowburn with ‘I’m Rubber and You’re Glue’ for his play as Genji Attacking on Junkertown vs Boston in Stage 1. During this round Shadowburn reflected a total of 4,452 damage during 3 minutes of play time — or 14,596 damage reflected per 10 minutes. Please note that this is different than Damage Dealt with Reflect, which was only 89 for this round. Regardless, an impressive feat.

That concludes the Top 5 most deviant performances in the league, but before we move on to the Worst 5 most deviant performances, I wanted to include some honorable mentions — displayed in the table below. However, not included in here is Neptuno’s Gibraltar defense vs Shanghai Dragons in which he set the single round record for Mercy on Damage Done, Assists, Critical Hits, Eliminations, and Damage Taken all in one go. Also, if you take the top 5 rounds for Mercy damage dealt, Neptuno has all but one of them — the lad loves his pistol.
