How many Wizard characters do you play?

Six characters split this field so evenly that the winner barely cleared a quarter of the vote. Six topped the poll with 26% (765 of 2,945 votes), edging One by just 74 votes — 23.5%. Two, Three, Four and Five stack up close behind, meaning nearly three in four voters picked something other than the winner.

The United States is the poll's dominant bloc by far — 142 votes, nearly eight times every other country combined — and it leans toward One, the runner-up. Six's win was built elsewhere: it overtook One roughly midway through the poll's run and held a narrow 24-26% edge for the remaining 232 days.
