Best brawlers for No Excuses in Bounty

What the data says about No Excuses

No Excuses is one of the Bounty maps with the most recorded battles in our sample: 1,204 high-level games over the last 14 days, with 70 different brawlers seen on it. This page ranks those brawlers by their real win rate on this specific map, not by their average performance across the game, which is the figure that usually leads to bad picks.

The 1,204 battles in the 14-day window spread that sample across 70 brawlers, so the top of the ranking is backed by dozens of games each rather than by a handful of isolated cases. Every row shows its own count so you can judge how reliable the figure is without leaving the page.

The best picks on this map

The best brawler on No Excuses is JAE-YONG, with a 75.5% win rate across 50 battles recorded on this map. It is the first option to consider when this rotation comes around, and also the pick most worth banning or countering if the enemy team gets there first.

What is interesting about JAE-YONG here is not the absolute number but the gap: across the rest of the Bounty maps it sits at 69.4%, so No Excuses adds 6.1 percentage points. That jump is the sign that the map specifically favours its kit, not that it is a strong brawler in general.

The second option is POCO, with 75.4% across 13 battles, 0.1 points behind the leader. When the distance between the first and second pick is that short, the choice depends more on the enemy composition and on the rest of your team than on the map itself.

R-T closes the podium at 72.7%. Having three clear options instead of just one makes No Excuses a comfortable map to draft on: if the first one gets banned, you are not left without a plan.

The most picked brawler on No Excuses is not necessarily the best: it is PIPER, present in 303 battles, 25.2% of every game recorded on the map. The distance between what is most picked and what actually works is usually where the edge is, because most players repeat a pick out of habit rather than out of data.

No Excuses is a polarised map: there are 17.7 percentage points between the best and the worst brawler in the ranking. On a map like this the draft matters more than mechanics, and bringing a pick from the bottom of the table is giving away an advantage before the game starts.

Brawlers that perform worse on No Excuses

The worst record on the map belongs to BROCK, who stays at a 57.8% win rate across 14 battles on No Excuses. It is not a bad brawler: this ground neutralises what it usually excels at, so there are better options almost every time.

Just above it comes ANGELO at 60.9%, so it is worth keeping on the radar too before confirming your pick.

These bottom placements are as useful as the top ones: knowing what not to bring to No Excuses avoids more losses than nailing the best pick, especially in Bounty, where a bad selection is paid for across the whole game and not just in the first fight.

How Bounty is played

In Bounty every elimination raises the enemy's bounty, so dying costs double and long range dominates. Short-range brawlers need cover to close the gap, and on open maps they simply never get there. That is why the order on No Excuses tends to look little like the objective modes.

No Excuses rotates in and out of the official Bounty rotation every few days. This page does not depend on it being active right now: the ranking is computed over recent history, so it remains the best reference available the day the map shows up again.

Every percentage comes from real high-level battles sampled continuously, aggregated over a rolling 14-day window and adjusted with Bayesian smoothing. That adjustment avoids the classic false positive: a brawler with three games and three wins does not show up at 100%, but close to the average, until it builds up the sample to back it.
