Mirage is not going to feel the same in every rank. In some brackets, players may give cleaner openings and let Mirage stay active in fights. In tougher games, enemies are more likely to respect Mirage's timing, group better, and shut the play down before Mirage gets full value. The strongest read is not just where Mirage has the highest win rate, but where the results stay consistent across enough matches.
