How to read these numbers
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
Blind-pick safety is coaching metadata, not a meta ranking: it says how risky Tick is to lock in before you can see the enemy draft. Tick scores 6/10.
Best build
Gadget: Last Hurrah — Briefly invulnerable: you survive the sniper shot or dive that would normally kill you instantly.
Star Power: Automa-Tick Reload — Faster reload means constant zone pressure without gaps.
Gears: Gadget Charge + Shield — With the lowest HP in the game, every survival tool is worth more than damage.
Stand far back and spam mines onto the objective.

Strengths
As a thrower, Tick is favoured into tank, controller, fighter.
- With your mines that push him out of the bush you focus Bo: controllers have low burst and go down fast under focus.
- With your mines that push him out of the bush you focus Lou: controllers have low burst and go down fast under focus.
- With your mines that push him out of the bush you focus Shelly: fighters lose once you keep them outside their effective range.
- With your mines that push him out of the bush you focus Jessie: Jessie relies on her turret and is weak herself.
Weaknesses
Tick struggles against assassin, marksman, sharpshooter and on maps that do not support the thrower role.

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