Six ranked Knockout maps in data: Brock works everywhere, Piper depends on the map

Knockout shows up a lot in Ranked, so knowing what's strong on each map makes drafting much easier. This time we compare six ranked Knockout maps. Basics are in the Knockout guide.

Numbers in the text are from the morning of November 13, 2026 (November 7–13, 12,107 ranked battles). The panels below update daily.

Current rankings on the six maps

What the November 13 data showed

1. Brock: most-picked on four of six maps, steady win rates

Brock was the most-picked brawler on Flaring Phoenix, New Horizons, Flowing Springs and Belle's Rock (8.5–11% pick rate), with 51–57% win rates across all six maps over 200–300 games each. A safe Knockout pick when you're unsure.

2. Piper: popular, but results depend on the map

Piper was 2nd–3rd in pick rate on most maps, but win rates varied a lot:

• New Horizons 51.6% (225 games), Flowing Springs 49.8% (301), Out in the Open 50.6% (249)
• Belle's Rock 40.1% (182), Goldarm Gulch 40.5% (163)

Wall layout and cover make a big difference even for the same marksman. If you play Piper, the first three maps are the better spots.

3. Rico swings by map too

Rico did well on Belle's Rock (57.4%, 216 games) but only 43.5% (248 games) on Goldarm Gulch despite being the most-picked there: a gap of about 14 points from one map to another.

4. Mr. P: strong in Knockout as well as Bounty

Mr. P ranked high on New Horizons (61.1%, 90 games) and Flowing Springs (62.2%, 111). Also strong in the Bounty comparison, he keeps performing in modes with open maps.

5. Other high-sample performers

• Flaring Phoenix: Edgar 58.6% (133 games)
• Flowing Springs: Najia 57.0% (179), Squeak 54.8% (219)
• Out in the Open: Angelo 54.9% (264, most-picked)

Picking by map

1. Brock is fine anywhere: a safe first pick.
2. Map-dependent brawlers like Piper and Rico: check the day's map ranking first.
3. If the enemy picks long-range brawlers like Brock or Piper, find an answer with the counter picker.

Summary

Knockout leans on long range, but the same marksman can swing more than 10 points between maps. Check the map name first, then pick high win rates among high-sample brawlers.
