Question 1

How is the Candy community ranking calculated?

Accepted Answer

Every completed Candy bracket adds one result to the pool. Each head-to-head pick is recorded as a win for one entrant and a loss for the other, and entrants are ordered by win rate across all 279 matchups played so far. Champion counts are tracked separately so a lucky draw cannot pass as a favourite.

Question 2

Why use win rate instead of how often something wins the bracket?

Accepted Answer

Brackets are shuffled, so an entrant can reach the final without beating anything difficult. Win rate counts every matchup an entrant appeared in, which is a fairer read on how people actually feel about it. Champion counts are shown next to it for the entrants that keep taking the title.

Question 3

How often does this ranking update?

Accepted Answer

Continuously. The page rebuilds every few minutes, so a bracket you finish now shows up here shortly afterwards. Last refreshed August 16, 2026.

Question 4

Does my own ranking have to match this one?

Accepted Answer

No — this is the aggregate, not a verdict. Play the candy tier list yourself and you get a private result page with your own order, which you can share and compare against the community list here.
