What the data says about Net Presence

Net Presence is one of the Brawl Hockey maps with the most recorded battles in our sample: 495 high-level games over the last 14 days, with 36 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 495 battles in the 14-day window spread that sample across 36 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 Net Presence is Shade, with a 78.8% win rate across 116 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 Shade here is not the absolute number but the gap: across the rest of the Brawl Hockey maps it sits at 77.3%, so Net Presence adds 1.5 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 Ash, with 74% across 47 battles, 4.8 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.

Gus closes the podium at 71.8%. Having three clear options instead of just one makes Net Presence a comfortable map to draft on: if the first one gets banned, you are not left without a plan.

The most picked brawler on Net Presence is not necessarily the best: it is Shade, present in 116 battles, 23.4% 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.

Net Presence is a polarised map: there are 28.8 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 Net Presence

There is not enough sample yet to confidently point out which brawlers perform worst on Net Presence. 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 Hockey is played

In Brawl Hockey the puck moves far faster than the ball in Brawl Ball and the ground slides, so displacement and knockbacks matter more than raw damage. A brawler that can change the puck's trajectory decides more games than one that wins the straight duel. The Net Presence ranking follows that logic.

Net Presence rotates in and out of the official Brawl Hockey 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.
