Just wondering what the consensus is. I know I’m terrible at this game (I mean, really, really bad) and I know it’s not really helpful to worry about how you compare to others, but I’ve had another depressing season and it would be some small comfort to think that I was in the top 8% of Ana players in Bronze, and the top 3% of Wrecking Ball players.
And yes, I’m aware that for most of you being in the top 8% of Bronze players is utterly laughable, but for me it’d be at least somewhat encouraging.
If youre a GM, basically you automatically get into top 200 in overbuff for the hero.
Those stats are inaccurate. What I see in the game and what I see in overbuff is very different.
I think Omnic Meta is helpful to show you areas to improve on and statistically what you’re best characters are, but it can only compare you with players who have both an open profile and have logged into Omnic Meta. Potentially that might just be 10% of all Bronze players.
So you can say you are top 8% of all players in your rank who use Omnic Meta.
FYI - the guy who runs Omnic Meta is retiring so it won’t update anymore probably after today when the new patch comes out. I think Overbuff still gets updated though.
Stat tracking services rarely help assess how you perform on any given hero. If you are a low tier player against other low tier players, you will definitely perform worse than a GM player against low level players, but the big difference (smurfs aside), is that high level players will often play against other high level players. In higher tiers positioning, movement, awareness, reaction times, and mechanical skill are all better than in lower tiers, so the GM and T500 players won’t really have an easier time compared to <diamond players as long as all parties only fight against players in their own rank.
Sure, but omnicmeta ranks you solely against people of the same tier, right? So that’s a bit more meaningful, I would have thought.
I wasn’t fully aware of that. Still, I wouldn’t really trust those sites because it’s too easy to get decent stats without actually contributing to your team. This is a game about win conditions, and a lot of players seem to forget that.
The only stat that really matters is win percentage (kinda).
Hmm, I read he was quitting. But does that mean even the stat tracking won’t work?
I’d never looked at Overbuff until that other guy mentioned it. It certainly has a lot of stats (and apparently I’m ranked in the bottom 2,000… out of 330,000… sigh) but I can’t see anywhere it compares you just to people of your tier.
