Salome

About Salome

Salome ranks 19th of 133 in how often opponents preban her, placing her among the most heavily removed heroes before a single ban phase begins in the draft itself. Once she survives to be picked, she is banned in-draft at a rate below the pool median, well short of what her preban number would predict. Opponents deal with her before the draft starts far more often than they spend a ban on her once she is already on a team.

Popular at the table, average once picked

She is also picked well above the pool median, one of the more heavily drafted heroes in the current meta, though her win rate lands almost exactly on that median. High demand before the draft does not carry into results once she is on the board. Her synergy list follows a similar pattern of concentration, since Saria stands well clear of the rest of her partners and the drop after that is steep.

Damage that leans one way

Against the other meta heroes, her Damage Dealt sits just above the pool median, close to the middle of the field rather than near either edge of it. Her Damage Suffered ranks 39th, well into the upper third and clearer of the median than her damage output ever gets. Her Total Score lands close to the median as well, so the separation between the two damage numbers only becomes visible when they are read apart.
