Note: All pictures are from my newly released main stats section of heroes.report So everyone knows that Tyrande has become quite the little assassin in the right hands over the past several months. Now I've got the data to show that her rising popularity go hand in hand with her rising damage to other heroes.Tyrande has been one of my favorite heroes to play over the past three or four months, and I love to focus on attacking heroes with her.First, let's look at her winrate vs popularity:The line itself is win rate by patch, which each dot represents one of. The smaller dots are ones in which Tyrande's pick percent is less than the larger dots, and the color ranges from red (more losses) to black (even) to green (more wins). You can see that the highest win rates she had did not end up in her being immediately popular.I think the next two graphs show much more clearly why she became more popular. First, her average healing output dropped precipitously, just as her pick rate was rising:More interestingly, and surely unsurprisingly to anyone who plays quick match and finds themselves in a team of five assassins quite regularly, her hero damage went significantly up during this same period of rising popularity (of course, it was also during and after her rework):Well, there you have it. A clear record of how we got from Tyrande being a somewhat popular tiny bit of a threat and somewhat of a healer to a popular mass murderer who throws a heal or two out every now and then.That might be a bit of an exaggeration, but it seems clear that more players like a Tyrande who damages more and heals less than not.
