But devs didntt think it was important to have stats like that despite these representing significant part of the hero kit.

Yeah that annoyed me a bit when I heard it too lol
Meanwhile it seemed useful enough to show for Baptiste, who only gets that chance during his ultimate

The stats in OW are pretty bad no matter how you look at it. Not having a scoreboard is not making the game less toxic, itās only making people confused and tells them that they are doing great when they arenāt and often times itās the wrong people getting blamed for loses.
Tanks thinking that they need to just be stood on the payload because they think high objective time is good instead of pushing ahead and taking/denying space. Or thinking that high damage blocked is a good sign of doing well so all they do is just kinda stand their with their shield and not much else.
The fact that they havenāt said anything about a different stat system for OW2 is very concerning to me.

Maybe there wasnāt for a while?
ya this was during early days of overwatch, its more about dev understanding of the game, as well as attitude to feedback.

Maybe they mean Zen? Zen doesnāt have a stat for Discord, despite having a space for it since he only has five stats tracked, and the functionality existing (Iāve seen JJonakās displayed on an OWL stream before).

I think she still canāt get a card for damage boosted, the closest thing is her āoffensive assistā card (that only reveals % of participation to kills I believe).
I would have liked a specific card for healing/boosting in Valkyrie too, itās one of few ultimates with no card connected to it.

IT annoys me that Ana doesnāt have an offensive assists stat despite nano, nade and sleep all being offensive assists?

Nade and Sleep are just eliminations, no?
Nope the antinade and the sleep stun count as offensive assists. You can even get a card at the end of the game for offensive assists with Ana.
When her entire kit literally revolves around getting these offensive assists (not pumping healing into tanks) it really should show you the stat.

You knowā¦ if I could use this as an excuse to not healbot on her, then iād like it
I mean donāt get me wrong healing on Ana is important but using nade offensively is the goal when possible to win a fight by getting picks but it really irks me how it doesnāt show this stat.

Iām just annoyed that when I play Ana my tanks feed extra hard so I canāt do anything but healbot them the whole game
A lot of the āutilityā heros donāt have their extra stat displayed. Mercy players are just the loudest and cringiest of the crew.
Would it help for any of them? Sure, a bit. Does it matter very much? Not really.

Can I get any explanation on how a scoreboard actually addresses these issues? What will make players go āMaybe Iām the problemā instead of āKills arenāt the most important thing and Iām actually playing the objective/payload instead of farming for killsā or maybe a bit of āIts the DPS job to deal damageā
I mean at the end of the day people that think blocking high damage and standing on the payload are the only good things a tank can do arenāt going to have their mind changed in the least by having a scoreboard.
this so much.
Sadly this is by design, itās to trick people into thinking they are good to rope them with good feedback that keeps them coming.
But the stats, especially the gold medals, just breed toxicity, because the only way to make them useful is to know what the other stats are. If you have gold damage you canāt know how far back silver is. Or in the case of having gold with 2 kills, for how the system works every team mate couldāve gotten different kills and still won the fight.
i think you canāt see it by pressing tab mid game, which is puzzling considering it is a main part of her kit

I think they mean a card like healing and such. And not just āoffensive assistā.
