Deadlock win rates explained

Win rate: wins divided by matches for players on that hero.
Pick rate: share of matches with that hero in them. 12 heroes play each match, so the average is about 27%.
Rank brackets use the average badge of both teams. Most unranked games have no badge, so they count only under "All ranks".
