By the Numbers: DPS of all Heroes

Here’s a listing of all damage per second numbers of all heroes at 100% accuracy, and top average accuracy. Note that just because certain numbers are going to be higher or lower, this is not a barometer for judging hero’s relative strength vs. others. I will try to include additional information regarding some numbers.

You are doing gods work here.

I noticed you only put LMB for Mei.
Do you know her RMB as well?

Didn’t mean to post so early, still have a lot more work to do on it.

Sym actually does 65/130/195, just though u should know.

Your math for 100% is wrong for a lot of heroes. Genji, Reinhardt, Brigitte, Ashe, Baptiste, Pharah, to name a few.

Doomfist can shoot 3 rounds of his primary doing 66 damage each not including headshots. where did you get this amount from?

That’s a funny way to spell Lucio (Speaking of which he’s not on the list :cry:)

Maybe he’s counting it at a depleted clip? Still feels higher though…

And Tracer. Brig does 70 (35 per swing 2 swings per second) and Tracer’s listed at 240 when she does 120 per second due to a 1 sec reload.

I feel like this whole thing is bait.

i really dont think the DPS metric works for Overwatch.

Wiki DPS values are extremely misleading as they don’t account for weapon spread (which only some heroes have) and also reload time, which changes things significantly for certain heroes.

Also it really doesn’t make sense to calculate the average accuracy of the entire DPS roster, as the resulting number is not an accurate reflection of each hero’s individual average accuracy. For instance for McCree, 38% is probably sub-gold. But for Tracer and Sombra, 38% is T500 (I believe Tracer avg acc in OWL season 1 was just below 38% in fact). This is because McCree is pinpoint whereas Tracer and Sombra have spread.

I definitely appreciate the work you’re putting into this, but I also fear that some individuals will use these incomplete numbers to further their false narrative that certain heroes are OP or UP.

If you factor in reload time and also the average accuracy for each individual hero on ladder in addition to their crit acc, then we’ll have fully complete and accurate numbers.

To start, try the following spreadsheet:

Please feel free to double check my work as I whipped this up pretty fast. Also you may be able to simply the formula a bit. Not sure.
