Summit closed with a warning that the Season 3 reset would scramble everything, so treat these as closing numbers and not a forecast. Four weeks into Into the Tiger's Den, the surprise is how little scrambled at the very top. The same two heroes still own their roles, and by wider margins than they finished Summit with. The churn is happening a rung or two down.
A note on what these are. All numbers below are shrunk win rates from Season 3 community data through about the first four weeks of the season, 5V5, all ranks, all game types, aggregated across maps. Early data is noisier than a full season, so read the top of each list as firmer than the bottom, and expect lower placements to move as the sample grows.
Tank: Reinhardt pulls away, Sigma climbs back in
- Reinhardt, 53.45% over ~201,500 matches
- Junker Queen, 52.91% over ~70,200 matches
- Wrecking Ball, 52.25% over ~57,500 matches
- Sigma, 52.18% over ~177,000 matches
- Hazard, 52.03% over ~74,600 matches
Reinhardt closed Summit leading by a single hundredth of a point. He opens Season 3 with more than half a point of daylight over the field. Junker Queen held second and climbed a little further. The real return story is Sigma, who had slid to sixth by the end of Summit and is back to fourth here on a big sample. Domina, a top-five tank at Summit's close, sits just outside now at 52.01%. The role is still tight below Reinhardt, five heroes inside a point, but he is no longer part of that pile.
Damage: Torbjörn somehow climbs, Mei crashes the top five
- Torbjörn, 55.91% over ~72,000 matches
- Symmetra, 54.59% over ~47,800 matches
- Pharah, 52.90% over ~78,100 matches
- Mei, 52.56% over ~114,500 matches
- Venture, 52.27% over ~45,000 matches
Torbjörn finished Summit as the single most dominant number in the game and has gone up, not down, to 55.91%. Symmetra sits second again and closer to him than she was, so the passive frontline pressure that defined Summit did not reset with the season. Pharah holds third. The change lower down is Mei, up into fourth after sixth at Summit's close, while Reaper cooled to seventh at 52.04%. Sierra, who carries the largest damage sample on the board, is nowhere near the top, sitting mid-pack at 51.45%.
Support: Zenyatta stays clear, Brigitte jumps Illari
- Zenyatta, 54.15% over ~196,400 matches
- Brigitte, 52.94% over ~90,800 matches
- Illari, 52.43% over ~135,700 matches
- Mizuki, 52.00% over ~262,800 matches
- Wuyang, 51.58% over ~143,000 matches
Zenyatta led Support at Summit's close and leads it again, up to 54.15%. The move behind him is Brigitte, who edged into second and passed Illari, the reverse of how they finished Summit. Mizuki climbed into the top five on the largest support sample here, roughly 262,800 matches, which makes his placement one of the most confident on the board even this early. Wuyang held on to fifth. Juno and Lifeweaver sit just outside at 50.74% and 50.30% on very large samples, so they read as stable rather than falling.
What the early meta says
The big surprise of the reset is that it barely reset the ceiling. Torbjörn and Zenyatta carried straight over from Summit and got stronger, and Reinhardt turned a photo finish into a comfortable lead. If there is a theme four weeks in, it is that Into the Tiger's Den kept rewarding the same things Summit did, chip damage on the frontline and value that does not lean hard on your aim. What moved is the second tier, Sigma and Mei climbing, Domina and Reaper slipping, the order still settling.
Treat these as an early read, not a verdict. Four weeks is enough to trust the top of each role and not much below it, and the numbers here will drift as the season fills in.
