Byron's strongest measured map is Belle's Rock (Knockout): 61% over 266 matches (reliable). Its weakest is New Horizons (Knockout): 37% over 235 matches (reliable). 13 maps have at least 30 Byron matches; maps with fewer are left out.

On these maps Byron 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 Byron is to lock in before you can see the enemy draft. Byron scores 6/10.

Gadget: Booster Shot — Instant heal on an ally: saves the tank who's just diving in.

Star Power: Malaise — Your poison lowers the enemy's healing — the direct counter to any sustain comp.

Gears: Damage + Gadget Charge — Your poke needs to hurt and your heals need to be there when needed.

Stay at the back, heal your front line, and poke the lane.

As a support, Byron is favoured into marksman, assassin.

• With your Malaise star power that halves his healing you focus Spike: Spike is fragile and his cactus is easy to dodge.
• With your Malaise star power that halves his healing you focus Stu: assassins have low HP once their dash is on cooldown.
• With your Malaise star power that halves his healing you focus Crow: Crow has low HP and relies on poke.
• With your Malaise star power that halves his healing you focus Leon: Leon is visible as soon as he attacks and has low HP.

Byron struggles against tank, sharpshooter and on maps that do not support the support role.

This is the coaches' view of which modes suit the support role of Byron; the measured win rates per mode are higher up on this page.

• Bounty — fit 7/10
• Knockout — fit 7/10
• Gem Grab — fit 6/10

Map fit from the coaching model, next to the measured best maps above. When the two disagree, trust the one with more matches behind it.

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

Works well alongside Piper.

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