October 14 patch: Deadman Danny jumps nearly eight points at once, Baba drops six — Thirty-five hours after the patch, the effect is clear and shaped like a step: Danny goes from 37.5 to 45.4% wins right when Valve’s notes went out, mostly in high ranks; Baba falls from 58.3 to 51.9% and is now played in only 28% of matches.
Valve reins in Baba and rescues Deadman Danny: the October 14 patch, by the numbers — Baba had become the hero with the highest win rate in the game (58.3%), Deadman Danny had just set the worst first day on record (37.5%). Last night’s patch nerfs one twelve times and buffs the other eighteen times. Where they stood, what changes, and the first hours.
Rat King one week in: 62% before the nerf, 56% after, still on the podium — Our first look predicted a slide toward 53%. Rat King did the opposite: he climbed to a 62.7% win rate, and Valve nerfed his ultimate by Monday. A week and 410,000 matches later, here is what the nerf changed, rank by rank.
