Players take Leon into Bounty most often: 33% of its matches are played there, where it wins 49% (260 matches, reliable). Leon loses slightly more often than it wins in Bounty: 49% over 260 matches (reliable), 3 points above its overall win rate.

Too few matches to show a win rate: Heist (25 matches), Hot Zone (24 matches).

Leon's strongest measured map is Hideout (Bounty): 54% over 81 matches (fairly reliable). New Horizons looks even better at 55%, but 64 matches is only an early signal. Its weakest is Backyard Bowl (Brawl Ball): 34% over 44 matches (early signal). 10 maps have at least 30 Leon matches; maps with fewer are left out.

On these maps Leon 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 Leon is to lock in before you can see the enemy draft. Leon scores 5/10.

Gadget: Clone Projector — A clone that makes the opponent misplay while you take the flank.

Star Power: Smoke Trails — Speed boost during your invisibility makes your engages and escapes unstoppable.

Gears: Gadget Charge + Speed — Your value is getting into position unseen.

Go invisible toward the backline, not toward the tank.

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

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

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

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

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

Skip Leon 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.
