The following is being posted on behalf of John McIntyre, Hearthstone Battlegrounds Lead Designer:
Hello tavern-goers, as we wrap up the current Battlegrounds Buddies patch and prepare for the upcoming Rise of the Naga Battlegrounds Season, I want to share some data from this past patch and explain some of our design philosophies when it comes to designing and balancing heroes.
First, let’s look at the overall active* player mmr distribution right now:
- The top 50% of players have reached 5700 mmr
- The top 25% of players have reached 6500 mmr
- The top 10% of players have reached 7000 mmr
- Congratulations to the top 1% of players who have reached 8300 mmr
I also want to share the top* 10 performing heroes for all players since the last balance patch (in alphabetical order):
- Cariel Roame
- Chenvaala
- Fungalmancer Flurgl
- George the Fallen
- Ini Stormcoil
- Lord Jaraxxus ...
