Players take Tick into Knockout most often: 63% of its matches are played there, where it wins 48% (461 matches, reliable). Tick wins slightly more often than it loses in Hot Zone: 51% over 77 matches (early signal), 4 points above its overall win rate. Tick loses clearly more often than it wins in Bounty: 48% over 138 matches (fairly reliable), in line with its overall win rate. Too few matches to show a win rate: Gem Grab (24 matches), Brawl Ball (19 matches), Heist (7 matches).

Tick's strongest measured map is Goldarm Gulch (Knockout): 58% over 48 matches (early signal). Its weakest is Flaring Phoenix (Knockout): 42% over 119 matches (fairly reliable). 9 maps have at least 30 Tick matches; maps with fewer are left out.

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

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.

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.

Tick struggles against assassin, marksman, sharpshooter and on maps that do not support the thrower role.

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

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

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

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