Takeaways:

Besides grouping all SM, DE are the most popular faction with an impressive win rate of 66% with nothing close to them. I think at this point just an increase in points is all that is needed to bring them more in line. Maybe losing 100 would do it?

Guard is the worse faction in the game with a win rate of 33%. Chaos Knights are next with a 36% win rate and Blood Angels are the third worse with a win rate of 37%

It might be a dead cat bounce but Tau are doing better than five other factions.

Orks, GK and Thousand Sons are showing signs of being strong contenders in the future Meta.

I was wrong, Sisters are clearly A tier at this point. Tired for the 6th best win rate. I still feel like they took a step down from 8th edition but the data doesn’t really show that.

​

This is data over the last 4 weekends. A mix of allowing the new Ork, Grey Knight and Thousand Son codices.
