Strongest observed brawlers on Under Pressure
Ordered by the low end of each brawler's 95% range, not by raw win rate, so a high number from a small sample doesn't simply jump to the top. The range shows how far the true win rate could plausibly be from the observed one.

Under Pressure tier list from win rates
A data-based tier list from the same games as the tables on this page, not an official or community list. Each tier compares one brawler's 95% range on Under Pressure with a 50% win rate; B does not mean average, only that the range still includes 50%. A tier needs 150+ games on this map. For the whole mode, see the Hot Zone tier list.
Tier B: Inconclusive
range includes 50%: could be above or below, not shown to be average · 4 brawlers
Tier C: Clearly below 50%
whole range below 50% · 2 brawlers

Not rated: 26 more brawlers have fewer than 30 games on Under Pressure (or none) in this data. That says nothing about how strong they are.
What the data says about Under Pressure
- Support brawlers are over-represented at the top: 4 of the 10 strongest, against about 1.1 you would expect from their share of the full table.
- Controller brawlers are over-represented at the top: 5 of the 10 strongest, against about 2.2 you would expect from their share of the full table.
- Damage Dealer brawlers are under-represented: 0 of the 10 strongest, against about 1.8 expected.
- Assassin brawlers are under-represented: 0 of the 10 strongest, against about 2 expected.
- Popular is not the same as strong, so compare the numbers: the most played brawler here, Tick (324 games), ranks #39 of 82 by reliability.
Classes are the official in-game classes. These are descriptions of the observed games, not causes.
Promising, but not enough games yet
These brawlers won often on Under Pressure but appear in fewer than 150 observed games, so their win rate is much less certain.
Most played on Under Pressure
Brawlers that appeared in the most observed games. Popular is not the same as strong — compare the win rates.
Lowest observed win rates
Brawlers whose win rate on Under Pressure was clearly below 50% in this sample, even allowing for its size. This can reflect the map, the drafts they were picked into, or who played them — not necessarily that the brawler can't work here.

How to use these numbers
These are observed results, not a prediction. A win rate also reflects who played the brawler and the drafts it was picked into: a brawler that is usually chosen as a counter will look stronger than it would as a blind first pick.
Use the table to shortlist brawlers for Under Pressure, then decide from your draft: what was banned, what your team needs and what the enemy picked. That last step is what the BrawlPick picker does for you — it weighs these numbers together with counters, synergy and role balance, so its recommendation is not simply this table sorted by win rate.
For the roles a Hot Zone team usually needs, see the Hot Zone strategy on the mode page.
