Recently, 'Vampir' has wrapped up both server transfers and the grand shuffling. Match of the Week Checking in on the latest Match of the Week, it seems even the top-tier 'line' clans leading the servers have been jumping ship. While some clearly moved to dodge the heat of competition, others remain a bit of a mystery. Regardless of their motives, one thing is certain: it has shaken up the game's ecosystem quite significantly.

Let’s dive into the popularity charts by server. Since those transfer tickets hit the shelves, rankings have been dancing all over the place. Take 'Shima' and 'Damir' for instance—Viper’s standing is polar opposite in both. In the former, Viper’s share dipped across all three servers, knocking it down a peg in popularity. In the latter, it saw a uniform 4% point jump. That said, outside of Damir 3, there wasn’t much of a climb; it’s already sitting pretty at the top in Damir 1, while in server 2, it just can't seem to snatch the crown from Carnage.

Some servers have seen Carnage exert some serious influence. In Olga 2, it rocketed from 4th to 2nd, and it managed to secure the runner-up spot in both Razvi 1 and 2. However, Vampir’s popularity patterns are all over the shop right now, and Carnage isn't winning everywhere. Fortunately, it’s gained a healthy chunk of the overall share, which we’ll look at in the next chart.

Overall Class Distribution Analysis

The overall class distribution has seen some movement too. While the rankings haven't shifted, the slice of the pie certainly has. Bloodstain, which had been on an upward trajectory, saw its share drop by 0.5% points, while Viper slipped by 0.6% points. Most of this reclaimed ground was swallowed up by 3rd-place Carnage, which hoovered up a massive 0.9% points, narrowing the gap with Viper. Could it reclaim that 2nd-place spot soon? We shall see.

On top of that, Vampir revealed during their last live stream that they are cooking up a new class called 'Akasha'. It’s a melee assassin that specializes in pulling foes closer or closing the distance. We are looking at a Q1 debut next year, marking the first new class update for Vampir. It’s highly likely a class change ticket will drop alongside it. How will Akasha disrupt the rankings? I, for one, am waiting with bated breath.

All-Server Clan Ranking

Since Vampir’s clan rankings are based on a two-week cumulative XP structure, there’s always a fair bit of volatility. Even so, this week’s changes are striking. Abigail is the standout, soaring from 12th to 4th place thanks to a tidy 3 million increase in cumulative XP. CommanderZ climbed 6 spots, and 'Strange People' rose by 4. We’ve also seen new faces like Ridel v and Package Hero storming into the charts from the outside.

Vampir Meca Ranking User Poll

Last week’s Vampir user poll asked, 'If you could change the server shuffling method, what would it be?' Talk about impeccable timing—they actually changed it. The streamer group divided brackets by tiers based on recent results, and they’ve promised to roll out new matching rules in January. I suppose everything except 'drawing straws' has been implemented. It’s a bittersweet feeling, really.

Now, for this week’s poll topic: Christmas is done and dusted, and we’ll be ringing in 2026 next week. Do you have any resolutions for your life in Vampir next year? If so, do let us know. Cast your votes, and we’ll reveal the results in the next edition.
