What players are asking
A Steam discussion asks whether Dungeon is the weakest faction. The ladder does not put Dungeon at the bottom in either mode. It is the most picked faction in both Classic (26.2%) and Single Hero (22.8%), with win rates of 52% and 49%. The lowest win rates are Schism's 36% in Classic and Temple's 46% in Single Hero.
Another Steam thread asks whether a proper ladder ranking of the factions exists. The ladder data keeps Classic and Single Hero separate, as the pages above do, because the same faction can sit in very different places in each mode.
