I was told that if you play heroes that never get played like mei for example you would receive more SR for winning, is it true?

 

[Luis Angel Cordero]

No

 

[Brandon Culley]

No. You must play an underused character AND play better than everyone else that uses that character to get a lot of sr. And this doesn't apply to diamond and above anymore

 

[Jimmy Axel Johnston]

It was true a while ago, where SR gain was based on your accuracy + stats relative to how popular that hero was. It was scrapped forever ago though because of universal public outrage lol

 

[Chris Johnson]

Nope. How common or uncommon a hero pick is has nothing to do with SR

 

[Preston Thomas]

Yes. Below diamond there is performance based Sr. That means if you perform better then most people that play that hero you will gain more Sr per win
