An actual api for player statistics / map win rates

I’m sure this has been posted many times but I see no reason in not putting it back out there esp with the latest post and trying to “turn this game around”. I genuinely see no reason why this game doesnt have a functioning api with more indepth data than just the career page. All of this data already exists, collected, parsed, sorted, and then stored. While I understand the devs not wanting all information / data given to the community as it can affect pick rates and general hostility about balance, the line is drawn far too short.

Map win rates are a must
mode winrates are a must
player match ups are a must

these are the bare minnimum I would expect of a game that was launched with esports in mind. Its confusing to say the least that the overwatch league has an API but not the general public as realistically a community api would envlope the pro one. And for the mass population that can’t see these statistics I think its a disservice to the community. Look at any valorant stats website or even ESEA statistics from CS:GO. There are detailed catagories that can be so useful to not only players just wanting to see their career but also for people trying to get better and understand their tendencies.

Anyway thats my two cents, hopefully within the year this comes as its more needed than I think people give it credit.
