Best brawlers for Pinhole Punt in Brawl Ball

What the data says about Pinhole Punt

Pinhole Punt is one of the Brawl Ball maps with the most recorded battles in our sample: 570 high-level games over the last 14 days, with 97 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 570 battles in the 14-day window spread that sample across 97 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 Pinhole Punt is JESSIE, with a 74.8% win rate across 16 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 JESSIE here is not the absolute number but the gap: across the rest of the Brawl Ball maps it sits at 64.7%, so Pinhole Punt 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 TARA, with 73.7% across 14 battles, 1.1 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.

BUSTER closes the podium at 73.7%. Having three clear options instead of just one makes Pinhole Punt a comfortable map to draft on: if the first one gets banned, you are not left without a plan.

The most picked brawler on Pinhole Punt is not necessarily the best: it is Cosmo, present in 61 battles, 10.7% 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.

Pinhole Punt is a balanced map: there are only 10.2 percentage points between the best and the worst brawler in the ranking. That means almost any reasonable composition is playable and that the game is decided more by execution and positioning than by the selection phase.

There is not enough sample yet to confidently point out which brawlers perform worst on Pinhole Punt. 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 Brawl Ball is played

In Brawl Ball the win goes to whoever scores two goals, and that makes control of the central lane and the ability to clear it the two decisive skills. Brawlers that push, shove or lock down perform above their average, while those with sustained damage and no control fall behind. That is the lens for reading the Pinhole Punt ranking.

Pinhole Punt rotates in and out of the official Brawl Ball 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.
