Counter ratings are measured from duel and teamfight outcomes in tracked Overwatch matches, not from match win rate. The rating is an index, not a percentage: 0 is a neutral matchup and a higher number means a harder counter. Source: Counterwatch community stats, all ranks, updated Oct 6, 2026.

Ratings come from the kill feeds of community matches: who wins the duels, and whose side dies more in teamfights. Match win rate is excluded on purpose, because it punishes counter picks made from behind. Counters that work by blocking damage rather than dealing it, like D.Va's Defense Matrix, are understated by kill data. How counter ratings are calculated →

How are Mizuki's Overwatch counters calculated?

From the kill feeds of community matches: who wins the one-on-one kill trades against Mizuki, and whose side dies more while both heroes are on the field. Each hero's general strength is stripped out so the rating reflects the matchup itself, and match win rate is excluded entirely because counter-swappers are usually already losing when they swap. Matchups need 50 or more contributing players to appear.

Only when the matchup is genuinely lopsided.

Use the ratings here to judge how lopsided the matchup really is before giving up your comfort pick.
