Otis

Who is Otis

Otis is a Chromatic-rarity brawler of class Controller. This article summarizes their performance in the current competitive meta: best map, hardest counters, and the weekly trend of their win rate. The numbers come from top-PRO battles over the last 14 days, Bayesian-smoothed so a brawler with a small sample doesn't show a misleading percentage.

Over the 14-day window, Otis has shown up in 9,693 battles with a global win rate of 68.8% and a pick rate of 1.1%. That pick rate is the share of matches where a top-PRO player chose Otis out of every available brawler, so it works as a thermometer for how meta they are right now.

Otis is a Chromatic brawler, originally tied to the seasonal Brawl Pass and now folded into the general collection. These brawlers were designed with very strong kits at release, so many remain meta several seasons later even after nerfs. Their presence in PRO tournaments depends heavily on map rotation and the current state of the counters that usually answer them.

As a Controller, the priority is dictating where the enemy team can and cannot stand. Through slows, knockbacks, persistent damage zones or supers that close routes, the brawler forces the rival to play on its team's terms. It isn't a brawler that stands out in kills, but in positioning and tempo: if it controls the key area of the map, the team wins without needing direct fights.

Best maps for Otis

The best map for Otis is Watermelons in Bounty, with a Bayesian-adjusted win rate of 82.2% over 71 battles. That puts them above their class average in this mode, so it's worth picking Otis when that rotation is live. A strong run on Watermelons usually combines favorable geometry (short ranges or cover) and a mode whose objective plays into the brawler's kit.

Otis's performance is highly map-dependent: there are 42.7 percentage points between their best and worst map. That high variance means it pays to check the rotation before locking them in, because the same brawler swings from one of the best options to a clearly unfavorable pick depending on the map.

As a second map option, Otis also performs well on Tuning Fork (Heist) with a 80.3% win rate, only 1.9 points off their best map. When the gap between the top two maps is this small, picking one over the other comes down to the enemy team more than the brawler itself.

Rounding out the podium, Otis holds a 78.0% win rate on Whisper Vale (Gem Grab) over 102 battles. Having three competitive maps widens the rotation windows worth bringing them in for, not just their signature map.

Just above their worst result, Otis also struggles on Four Levels, where their win rate sits at 44.1%. Keep this map on your radar as a second warning sign when deciding the pick.

On the opposite end, Hello Always Ends With a Goodbye (Wipeout) drops Otis's win rate to 39.5%. That's the bottom tail of a 42.7-point range between their best and worst map, so if that rotation comes up during a session, consider a different brawler to avoid throwing matches.

Counters and matchups

Otis clearly dominates the matchup against Shelly: across the 247 recorded battles for that pairing, their win rate climbs to 75.5%. If you spot Shelly on the enemy team in draft, that lane is an edge for Otis — seek the duel out rather than avoid it.

Their second-best matchup is against Bull, where Otis holds a 73.8% win rate over 954 battles. Two strong favorable counters like these give Otis real value as a targeted pick against comps that lean on those two brawlers.

Where Otis has a clear disadvantage is against Brock: their win rate drops to 66.2% across the 239 battles recorded for that matchup. If Brock shows up on the enemy team, consider not picking Otis or changing the game plan to avoid the shared lane, because Brock wins that exchange.

Per-brawler matchups are the smallest-sample metric on the page: for Otis the samples range from 239 to 1,445 battles. Read them with the confidence that sample implies — a matchup at the low end says far less than one backed by the high one.

This section lists the matchups where Otis performs worst and best over the last 90 days, sampled from top PRO players and smoothed with Bayesian WR to avoid noise.

Star Powers, gadgets and hypercharge

To get the most out of Otis in the current meta, prioritize upgrades by synergy with their kit, not by gem cost. Star powers, gadgets and hypercharge change tiers depending on the meta, so the upgrade priority is dynamic.

As a general rule, the first profitable upgrade for Otis is usually the star power with the highest pick rate in PRO tournaments, followed by the gadget that best fits their role (lane, support, or pick). Hypercharge, when it exists, comes last because it costs more Coins and Power Points and only triggers with a full super bar.

By game mode, Otis performs best in Brawl Ball, with a 71.2% win rate over 4,048 battles — the mode with the most recorded sample for this brawler. That makes Brawl Ball the context where their performance is most reliable and where investing in upgrades pays off most clearly.

Beyond the immediate meta, the upgrade path for Otis should prioritize what moves the win rate needle the most: power 11 before gears, first star power before second, primary gadget before any hypercharge. Hypercharges cost a lot of coins and power points and only activate with a full super bar, so their real priority drops toward the end of the checklist.

Weekly meta analysis

Over the last 7 days, Otis's win rate dropped from 74.7% to 65.8%, a fall of −8.8 points versus the previous half of the window. With both halves above the sample minimum, that drop is a real signal: the meta is moving against Otis, usually from a rotation of maps or a rising counter.

Every percentage on the Otis page comes from sampling top PRO battles with source=global filtering and Bayesian smoothing, recomputed every six hours.
