Best Brawlers
Best first / blind picks
These Brawlers combine a positive map fit with high blind-pick safety, so they are hard to punish when you pick before the enemy reveals their comp: Bo.
Best later picks
Strong on this map but easier to counter, so keep them for the middle or last pick: Belle, Mandy.

Data confidence
