📊 Beastie Usage Stats!

As has become tradition, we've collected a ton of data on Beastie usage during this event and we're happy to share that data with you for further investigation!

> Check out the STATS here!

At a glance, a couple things stand out to me. The percentage usage of top Beasties has slightly reduced compared to recent Bashes; at 20% usage, Hopra is still the most popular Beastie, but the distribution of the others below her has equalled out a little, suggesting there's less centralization in the meta right now. There's a slight uptick in usage for Cherrily, which isn't so surprising with her broadly useful kit, but there's also more users of Goofsder and Boldlur, more off-the-wall picks with unique gameplans.

Thank you!!!

We're looking at all this data and other player feedback/discussion as we start planning out the next balance patch. We intend to have something new available for testing within the next week. We'll see you then!
