Essentially, yes, you are correct. It’s actually Thorne is on the defensive team at all (i.e., any position, not just tank) and that team won 11.1% of the time / I won 88.9% of the time.
No, for a couple of reasons.

I was fascinated by this result, but it may be an outlier. In my second raid summary, Richard posted a respectable 6.3% win rate, while Thorne was at 2.4% (same as before - this is defending from all positions). I didn’t address either of them in that link, but since you’re asking a Thorne-centric question I pulled up the full data set and am now giving you additional info that wasn’t in my post. That’s a much larger sample, so I’m more inclined to give it credence. I suspect that perhaps I initially underestimated Thorne / teams with Thorne, perhaps making poor kill / tile charging decisions against those teams. Once I was more alert to the danger, I corrected it.

Thorne continues to have no ailment in his special skill. Based on the body of the raid data I’m looking at, the heroes who fare best do more than ‘just’ inflict damage. They have to alter the fight in some way, usually by a buff or ailment. The slower their mana is, the more impactful this must be (e.g., Mother North / Alberich revivals).

All of this looks only at a heroes defensive prowess. I believe Richard is more useful than Thorne in offense and raid tournaments.
