Attacking Win Delta
Right now, Iana is the most popular operator in the game, as she has been picked in almost 70% of the rounds played on PC on Emerald and above.
It's also worth noting Ash and Ace's presence, who are the next two behind Iana. Ironically, Amaru has the best win delta, while Sens has the worst presence delta.
Defensive Win Delta
Meanwhile, on defense, Oryx's presence is above the 60% mark. Mozzie, Jäger, and Kapkan follow him.
Most of the changes introduced with the Y8S1.2 update target Kapkan and Oryx, who have lost their 1.5x sights.

Capitao
Capitao's Smoke Darts duration has been extended from nine to eleven seconds.
Kapkan
Kapkan will lose the 1.5x sight for his 9x19VSN.
Oryx
Oryx will lose the 1.5x sight for his T-5. He has had it since Ubisoft replaced his previous MP5 with his current T-5, a change that took place during Year 5.
Wamai
Wamai will get a 1.5x sight for his MP5K. He shares this gun with Mute, an operator who already could equip this sight.
Tachanka
Tachanka's gadget, the Shumikha Launcher, will go through some tweaks. His ammunition has been increased from 14 to 20. Moreover, its magazine size has been decreased from seven to five.
On top of that, Ubisoft has given Tachanka a 1.5x sight for the Russian's 9x19VSN.
According to Ubisoft's official article, the changes to the Shumikha Launcher will be introduced to make Tachanka a viable option to play instead of Smoke or Goyo. Ubisoft's main goal is to "focus on improving how long he can deny an area," which now ascends to 140 seconds.
Extended Barrel
The Extended Barrel damage bonus has been reduced from 15% to 12%.
