Best brawlers for Shooting Star in Bounty

What the data says about Shooting Star

Shooting Star is one of the Bounty maps with the most recorded battles in our sample: 255 high-level games over the last 14 days, with 45 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 255 battles in the 14-day window spread that sample across 45 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 Shooting Star is WENDY, with a 82.9% win rate across 32 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 WENDY here is not the absolute number but the gap: across the rest of the Bounty maps it sits at 72.8%, so Shooting Star adds 10.1 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 PIPER, with 73.6% across 29 battles, 9.3 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.

BROCK closes the podium at 72%. Having three clear options instead of just one makes Shooting Star a comfortable map to draft on: if the first one gets banned, you are not left without a plan.

The most picked brawler on Shooting Star is not necessarily the best: it is WENDY, present in 32 battles, 12.5% 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.

Shooting Star is a polarised map: there are 20.1 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 Shooting Star

There is not enough sample yet to confidently point out which brawlers perform worst on Shooting Star. We only publish the bottom tail when the ranking has enough depth for the best and the worst to be genuinely separate groups instead of overlapping.

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 Shooting Star tends to look little like the objective modes.

Shooting Star 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.
