Hello, I’m wondering if someone can help me read these stats.
So for doom, apparantly my quick score is negative. What in the world does that mean? That sounds horrible! I generally carry a lot of bronze games as doom? And I play him the most often.
I don’t play Ana that much, but it says I’m top 96% of all Ana’s? If I’m reading this right?
Player ID - notorious#11209 since I can’t post links.
Top 1% is best you can get. Top 95% means you are only better than bottom 4%.
Hmm ok, well if it says my Ana is 4%… That means 96% of Ana players are better? Or I’m better than 96% of the players playing Ana?
My doom is 48%, I’d expect that to be higher and I don’t really get why my quick score would be negative???
The former. And I don’t think overbuff qp stats are accurate rn.
The former. Also QP is pointless, only go by your competitive rankings those are quite accurate. You can also check the average for your rank, given there are a lot of Smurf’s as well pulling up the stats it is still good indication if you can climb or not.
It means that you’re better than 4% of Ana players. My quickrank with mercy is 92 for example which means that I’m better than 92% of mercys that use overbuff
I don’t use overthingy, It’s highly inaccurate. I use whizbangswallofshame. It is loaded with smurfs and throwers data.
where do you find ur quick score
Think golf rules. With percentiles, the lower the better.
92nd percentile would mean you’re worse than 92% of those Mercy’s, as you just explained to OP.
U can literally google it…”quick rank explained” also someone else answered this is another forum thread already. I’ll paste it
“Quick Score is the basic measurement on how you’re judged based off stats like damage, accuracy, deaths, etc, as well as time played.
Higher is better.
Quick RANK is decided by your Quick Score. It takes all the people who play the same hero and compares them.
For example, your Mercy Quick Score is 6122, which puts you at the 53rd percentile of people who play Mercy. Mine is at 12011, which puts me at the 97th percentile of people who play Mercy.”
Score is the numerical value, the higher the better.
Percentiles are your position compared to others, the lower the better
I’m not sure what information you’re getting but it isn’t accurate. My Mercy hero score is 20,528 & my hero rank isn’t even in a percentile it’s top #688
The higher your score, the lower your percentile, you’re not using the term percentile correctly. Not that Overbuff is even trustworthy anyway.
You’re talking about competitive if it’s “hero rank” he asked about the quick score which is quickplay.
It just wouldn’t make any sense that 90% of all mercys are better than me. And op is better than 96% of all anas even though he’s bronze? The scores are determined by rank, stats and so on.
This is a smurf and old account, I have a GM support/master DPS.
Partially why I’m asking, I wouldn’t be suprised but at the smae time I would be. I don’t play Ana too much on this account, but when I do it’s usually a carry.
But I don’t know. That’s why I asked. The stats on this account are so screwed up, I’ll be queued against golds in 1400 SR Bronze.
Idk overbuff is really weird. I also have a bronze account and it’s zen stats are pretty good but it’s still 2% hero rank (for competitive)
Btw if u want to know about competitive don’t look at the quick score since that’s only quickplay.
Ahh ok. Well, very interesting because it’s now changed since yesterday.
Funny thing is, I rarely if ever, play quick play. I don’t think I’ve played any QP in the last month or two…
This. I’d take them with a grain of salt. Play competitive and then the stats that it gives will be more meaningful.
The stats should be viewed based on the rank you’re in. If everything is maxed out, then you likely are over-performing at that rank stat wise and may be able to climb if you grind that character, but if you go up several hundred SR the stats will usually begin to drop because the games are more difficult and will require more of you.
Imagine if a GM player smurfed in Bronze, they’d almost surely have ridiculously higher numbers, such as damage, say 30k per game (top 1% for example), while on their main account in GM they only have say 15k per game (top 15% for example).
So having both a high rank and high stats generally means you’re playing the character well from a statistical perspective (which can be misleading because sometimes the best plays don’t show up in stats, such as jumping off an edge to intentionally give yourself a death to reset faster, such as on 2cp when you lose the first point).
They also talked about carrying as Doom in bronze, so the point of their post is kinda all over the place. I don’t think either of us know fully which they’re talking about given what they’ve said.
That’s not impossible, remember it’s based on Overbuff’s own representation of stats & has very very faulty data. Also remember that they’re quickplay stats, since that seems to be what you’re looking at. There is absolutely no worth to attaching a rank & percentile to the mode as opposed to comp. Remember also that QP is one pool of data that doesn’t have seasons like comp does, so expired data doesn’t get cycled out.
My Mercy is apparently 80% in quick rank in QP, but #690 hero rank in comp for example.
OP also said “but it says I’m top 96% of all Ana’s”, so they never said if that was quick rank, hero rank, or percentile. So we don’t definitively know what’s going on here.
Yeah, well it now says my ana is 2%. I don’t really get why, I don’t ever play quick play.
I can’t post a link or I would, but look up my profile on overbuff if you want. It’s weird.
My doom ranking is negative, my Torb which has about a 60% win ratio isn’t even ranked - I don’t get it!
According to overbuff my doom is 58%, and my ana is 2%.
So, does that mean 42% players are better than my doom? Or worse?
And is my ana better than 98% of ana’s, or worse than 98% of ana’s?
After looking at it, yeah for whatever reason Overbuff I guess is completely as$-backwards. That percentile they show represents how close to the bottom you are, so 2% means you’re the bottom 2%.
Other people do though, so you’ll still fluctuate.
The Doom one is funny, but againt highlights how unreliable Overbuff is. For Trobjam, it’s just a matter of you not having enough time on him. You don’t “place” until you’ve played enough time on a hero.
Your Doom is in the middle but leans more toward being in the upper half of Doom players, your Ana is rock-bottom.
