What Changed

Biggest recent movers on the board

These cards stay fixed to Last 30 days vs Current season so you can see who is really moving, independent of the hero range selector.

Offense and defense leaders

Total impact alone can hide shape. These leaders show who is driving value on offense, on defense, and on both sides at once.

How to use this

Start with the total score, then check the split. That tells you whether a player is winning with offensive creation, defensive resistance, or a stable two-way mix.

This is usually more actionable than a homepage-wide distribution chart because it helps you compare archetypes immediately.

The deeper player and team pages already carry these splits. The homepage should expose them too.
