What the data says about Picturesque

Picturesque is one of the Gem Grab maps with the most recorded battles in our sample: 455 high-level games over the last 14 days, with 48 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 455 battles in the 14-day window spread that sample across 48 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 Picturesque is Damian, with a 71.9% win rate across 34 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.

The figure for Damian needs some nuance: although it leads this map, across Gem Grab as a whole it performs even better, at 75.1%, so Picturesque costs it 3.2 points against its own average. It tops the ranking because the map punishes everyone else more than it punishes them, not because this is its best ground.

The second option is Surge, with 70% across 30 battles, 1.9 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.

Bo closes the podium at 69.5%. Having three clear options instead of just one makes Picturesque a comfortable map to draft on: if the first one gets banned, you are not left without a plan.

The most picked brawler on Picturesque is not necessarily the best: it is Mina, present in 51 battles, 11.2% 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.

Picturesque is a polarised map: there are 25 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 Picturesque

There is not enough sample yet to confidently point out which brawlers perform worst on Picturesque. 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 Gem Grab is played

In Gem Grab the objective outranks the kills: the win goes to whoever holds ten gems through the countdown, not to whoever eliminates the most. That rewards brawlers who can control the centre and protect the carrier, and punishes those who need to look for duels away from the mine. On Picturesque, read the ranking thinking about who holds the middle, not about who hits hardest.

Picturesque rotates in and out of the official Gem Grab 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.
