Talents
Talents at 15, 20, 25: the games of this build. Talents at 10: all the hero's games at this rank and position, because this build has under 30 games on a side. Under each talent: how often it is picked, win rate, games. ★ the higher win rate we are 95% sure of, with at least 30 games on each side. Bar: how often each side is picked.
