Rexxar is picked a disproportionate amount of time when queuing as auto-select in QM.

I have been playing almost exclusively auto-select in quick match for the past 3 months with all roles selected and all heroes owned. In the past 100 quick matches I have been Rexxar about 20 times. In the last 40 games where I have been the tank role I have been Rexxar 32 times.

Here is a small view of my match history.

Anyone else experiencing this?

This is definitely something we've seen overall.

Basically, it comes down to the fact that Misha is a Tank, and her pal is classified as Ranged. Because of those two facts, they're very easy to slot into many games, because Tanks are more rare, and lots of people play melee heroes in Quick Match. Since we cap how many melee heroes the matchmaker will put on a team together, Misha is that wild card that manages to make a team have a tank to match the other team's, while staying inside the max melee counter.

We'll probably change this soon to classify Misha as Melee. That would bring her and her Mok'Nathal friendo back into a more "normal" type of hero, and probably auto select them less.

Then we can have another of these threads later about Zarya for you warrior-only auto selectors :)
