Buzz's strongest measured map is Center Stage (Brawl Ball): 54% over 97 matches (fairly reliable). Its weakest is Parallel Plays (Hot Zone): 43% over 131 matches (fairly reliable). Backyard Bowl looks even worse at 11%, but 47 matches is only an early signal. 17 maps have at least 30 Buzz matches; maps with fewer are left out.

On these maps Buzz loses more often than it wins. The match count tells you how much weight to give each one.

A win rate only means something when enough matches sit behind it. Next to every number we say how sure we are:

• reliable — 200 matches or more: a solid basis for a verdict.
• fairly reliable — 80 to 199 matches: enough to spot a real pattern.
• early signal — 30 to 79 matches: a hint, not a verdict.
• too few matches — fewer than 30 matches, so we do not show a win rate yet.

A 60% win rate over 40 matches can easily be luck; a 54% win rate over 800 matches is a real edge. Maps and modes with fewer than 30 matches are listed without a win rate on purpose.

Blind-pick safety is coaching metadata, not a meta ranking: it says how risky Buzz is to lock in before you can see the enemy draft. Buzz scores 5/10.

Gadget: Reserve Buoy — Extra buoy to land your super if the first one misses.

Star Power: Tougher Torpedo — Longer stun gives your team time to secure the kill.

Gears: Gadget Charge + Health — You dive in and need to stay alive until the stun does its job.

Stun the brawler with the most impact, not the nearest one.

As a assassin, Buzz is favoured into marksman, sharpshooter, thrower, artillery, support.

• With your stun super you focus Gene: Gene has low HP and a slow attack.
• With your stun super you focus Barley: Barley can't shoot directly, so standing on him is free damage.
• With your stun super you focus Poco: Poco can barely defend himself.
• With your stun super you focus Pam: Pam lacks mobility and her damage falls off at range.

Buzz struggles against tank, controller, fighter and on maps that do not support the assassin role.

Buzz is a reasonable middle pick — check which counters are still open before locking it.

Skip Buzz when the map layout works against the assassin role, when an unfavourable matchup is still open on the enemy side, or when your team already has the same role covered.
