R-T Stats & Guide

Over the last 21 days, R-T loses clearly more often than it wins in Ranked: a 46% win rate across 185 matches of top players (fairly reliable).

Counted from Ranked matches of top players over the last 21 days, last updated 2026-09-27. Matches played before the latest balance change count for less.

Players take R-T into Hot Zone most often: 30% of its matches are played there, where it wins 52% (55 matches, early signal). R-T wins slightly more often than it loses in Hot Zone: 52% over 55 matches (early signal), 5 points above its overall win rate. R-T loses clearly more often than it wins in Knockout: 47% over 43 matches (early signal), in line with its overall win rate. Too few matches to show a win rate: Brawl Ball (28 matches), Heist (27 matches), Bounty (20 matches), Gem Grab (13 matches).

R-T's strongest measured map is Parallel Plays (Hot Zone): 52% over 47 matches (early signal). 1 maps have at least 30 R-T matches; maps with fewer are left out.

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 R-T is to lock in before you can see the enemy draft. R-T scores 6/10.

Gadget: Vision Field — Reveals enemies in bush: perfect on maps where you can't see who's approaching.

Star Power: Recording — Your marked targets take extra damage; your team finishes them off.

Gears: Damage + Shield — You're vulnerable when split; Shield covers that.

Only split when you're sure no one can reach your bottom half.

As a sharpshooter, R-T is favoured into tank, fighter, artillery.

• With your split mode that gives marked targets extra damage you focus Shelly: fighters lose once you keep them outside their effective range.
• With your split mode that gives marked targets extra damage you focus Nita: Nita is vulnerable without her bear.
• With your split mode that gives marked targets extra damage you focus Penny: Penny is slow and has no escape.
• With your split mode that gives marked targets extra damage you focus Tick: Tick has the lowest HP in the game, and R-T is considered a direct counter to Tick.

R-T struggles against assassin, thrower and on maps that do not support the sharpshooter role.

This is the coaches' view of which modes suit the sharpshooter role of R-T; the measured win rates per mode are higher up on this page.

• Gem Grab — fit 7/10
• Hot Zone — fit 7/10
• Heist — fit 6/10

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

Learn the pick-order logic in the drafting guide.

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