Seem fairly balanced the only civ with drastically out there win rate is sengoku which is really low.
Does anyone know why Rus is the worst?
Will we see an improvement for them in future patches or perhaps in the next DLC that will bring their variant?
Low sample size mixed with people adjusting to the new professional scouts meta would be my guess.
Win rates on ladder are not always representative of if a civ is OP or weak. Complicated civs like rus or china are often lower down because of how many mechanics they have that make them harder to play, this is likely why sengoku is so low as well.
Would agree that the early days on these stats would include those trying them out, playing around, figuring out the best strategy with them so it should even out more as time goes on.
Though still cool to see where everyone is gravitating to in regards to just numbers of times played and which are more popular
Hopefully RUS will get an easier-to-play variant. Rsrsrsrs
So remaining variants left would be Rus, ottoman and Malian? Maybe some unique twists for them where they work rather different to their original would be great and help add extra variety and flavor. Rus I always found a bit easier or streamlined so curious to see it so low. Better gold, bonus to food gather and wood gather all in their own unique way vs I guess the broad gather increase of a cistern for Byzantine or others
Yeah Rus is totally the worst… until you get 40 Streltsy and delete half the map in 5 seconds 
People forget Rus aren’t weak . they’re just slow starters. Once the Streltsy arrive, it’s game over for anyone still breathing
