Beats Rogue
Devil DinosaurVanguardour note
8/10hardRogue's Defensive Stance absorbs projectiles, which the melee Primal Bite is not, and her Chrono Kick Combo launch does nothing to Prehistoric Plating.
Peni ParkerVanguard
7/10hardPeni Parker's zoning keeps damaging Rogue through the dive, so Rogue loses the fight they started.
JubileeStrategist
7/10hardJubilee fights at mid range and Rogue has to get to melee to answer, so Rogue takes damage for the whole approach.
The ThingVanguard
7/10hardThe Thing's crowd control cancels Rogue's commit mid-combo, and a diver caught without an escape dies where they land.
Adam WarlockStrategist
5/10softAdam Warlock fights at mid range and Rogue has to get to melee to answer, so Rogue takes damage for the whole approach.

AngelaVanguardour note
8/10hardAngela has to close to spear range, which is where the stance is storing her damage.
Black CatDuelistour note
8/10hardHer stance eats the dash damage and converts it, then the slam launches the cat back out of melee.
Black PantherDuelistour note
8/10hardA dive into Rogue's Defensive Stance is a dive into reduced damage and a launch on the way out.
DaredevilDuelistour note
8/10hardHis grapple brings him to exactly the range where Rogue's Defensive Stance is banking his damage.
MagikDuelistour note
8/10hardDamage she absorbs becomes the slam that launches Magik, and Magik has to be in melee to do anything at all.
Where these numbers come from
Rogue has 44 mapped matchups on this page, 4 of them heroes who counter Rogue hard.
The figures in the header: tier, win rate, pick rate and match count are drawn from community match data, across 57,821 recorded matches, and the tier letter is that data's call rather than ours. Pick rate is the share of matches featuring Rogue. Rank is our ordering of those win rates across the 53 heroes in the snapshot, not a rating we measured. Ban share is the percentage of every ban cast that named Rogue, in the ranked divisions where the ban phase runs. It is our own figure and not the same as a published ban rate. These win rates are shrunk toward 50% in proportion to sample size at the source, so a rarely played hero reads closer to even than it actually played. A sample, not a census, and not split by rank or mode. The matchup counts above are ours, and the 0 to 10 ratings on every card are matchup lopsidedness rather than a win rate, because we measure nothing ourselves. Statistical data is based on external APIs and publicly available information. It may differ from official data.
Who to play Rogue with
Best duos
Highest win rate alongside Rogue, whether or not they share a Team-Up.
Team-Ups
Put Rogue on a team with any of these and the pair unlocks an extra ability. That is a game mechanic rather than a reading of the numbers.

MagnetoVanguard
EXPLOSIVE ENTANGLEMENT
When teaming up with Magneto, Southern Brawl Knocks back enemies. Extra damage is dealt if they're propelled into a wall.

PhoenixDuelist
TELEKINETIC BEATDOWN
When teaming up with Rogue, the width of the telekinetic shockwave expands, and the Phoenix Force's target detection range is increased.
51.2%across 3,060 matches
Best allies per hero, ranked by how often teams won with both on the field. Win rates are shrunk toward 50% by sample size at the source, because duo samples are far thinner than solo ones. This is not the same as a Team-Up, which is a specific ability a pair unlocks. A Team-Up is a game mechanic: these two heroes on one team unlock an extra ability. The win rate is how often teams containing both won, which is not the same as how much the Team-Up itself contributed. Match data as of Aug 31, 2026. Which heroes pair, and what the ability is called, come from the game itself. Team-Ups are reshuffled between seasons, so this list is refreshed rather than written once.
Ban suggestions
Heroes to ban against Rogue
Highest expected impact: heroes that beat Rogue hard and that the ladder already spends its bans on, so you are not the only person treating them as a problem.

How is this calculated?
Counter rating is how lopsided that hero is against Rogue, 7 to 10 for a hard counter and 3 to 6 for a soft one. It comes from this site's matchup data.
Ban share is the percentage of every ban that named that hero, counted across the ranked divisions where the ban phase runs, so it does not describe lower divisions or Quick Play. Ban counts are drawn from community match data, as of Aug 31, 2026. It sums to 100% across the roster, so 9% means roughly one ban in eleven. Declined bans are not counted. Combined multiplies the counter rating by the ban share, after damping the share so the most banned hero on the roster cannot swamp a genuinely bad matchup. A hero has to both answer Rogue and be someone the ladder already treats as a problem.
Why bans and not pick rate: a ban is chosen before the match and on purpose, which makes it the cleanest signal that a hero is considered a problem. It is also the same question this panel is asking. This is our own figure, not the same as a published ban rate, so the two will not match.

17 maps with enough recorded matches, which is not necessarily every map in the game. One row per map, averaged across its modes by match volume. The scale is zoomed to the data, so read the axis. Win rates are shrunk toward 50% by sample size at the source, so a thinly played map reads closer to even than it played., as of Aug 31, 2026.

Bars above the 50% line are green, below it red. The scale is zoomed to the data, so read the axis. Divisions marked with an asterisk are faded because the sample is thin, and their win rate can swing on a handful of matches. Higher divisions always have far fewer matches than Bronze, and win rates are shrunk toward 50% by sample size at the source, which flattens the thinnest divisions further., as of Aug 31, 2026.

Is Rogue still worth playing on the Season 9.5 roster?

The win rate is community match data. These win rates are shrunk toward 50% in proportion to sample size at the source, so a rarely played hero reads closer to even than it actually played. The C tier letter is that data's call, not ours, and the rank is our ordering of those win rates rather than a rating we measured.
