Can we get new overbuff because the old site is dead, Hazard and Freja are not even added, stats are wrong…
I’m asking because the Chinese have official stats from blizzard and we don’t… why is that ?

Casual game. Nobody should care about stats from rigged EOMM.
Yeah i’m not really asking if stats are useful or not, but more why blizzard give all official stats to Chinese and we get nothing ? I just want to know
I like looking stats in all games I play

'Cause it will expose the problems the game has for all to see
The horrible state of Tanks and who is at the top
The even WORSE state of DPS and the same handful of heroes at the top (Genji, Tracer, Freja, Sojourn, and Cass) in every single rank other than like… Bronze lolol
And the fact that support has the most viable hero pool despite having the least number of character
They don’t want to bring attention to that

Because they aren’t keeping track of global data, it’s just China (where you can only play against others on the Chinese client)
So, there’s a few drawbacks. Also less data to manage.

But we KNOW they are; they’ve shared data in the past across the entire game
On top of those experiments and new hero trials
Heck that’s how we know Sombra and Freja are the top bans (for different reasons but still)

wish they could be transparent but i dont know…maybe there are reasons. i was always a stats guy anyways. loved old tactical shooter game stats back in the days

I think the data they have been looking at more recently is more or less just what they say they are looking at.
The ban%, and the win%. I don’t think they internally track much else unless they are looking for reasons to buff or nerf.
Except now we know they are looking at map picks as well. But that’s also something else that happens before the match even launches.
I feel like they look at whether it was win or loss and then look at the stats. And then look at problems that might have happened. They aren’t keeping much of it, unless they need to.
Well they also must track stats, as you can sign up for an email they send you that shows your stats for the week like damage done, kd, healing, most used hero, etc.
So they have to have a LOT more data they could share if they so wanted to

And they delete it at the end of every patch. Which is why at the top of the forums there’s that locked post that changes saying when you have to get your replays before they are gone.
It’s cheaper not for them to hold on to it.
If another third party comes along? Awesome. Blizzard saves money.
They delete replays because game code changes with new patch and commands issued in previous patch will produce different results. Everything will just bug out.

Can you link the website?
https://ow.blizzard.cn/herolist/#/ for some reason you can only see s15 stats right now but it was working fine few days ago, I want that for the english blizzard site

I hope not. overbuff dying was great because all it did was have people on here using an inaccurate website to try and prove their points.

Now I can just say whatever the hell I want without some weirdo telling me that the stats prove me wrong. Genji is awful and needs a buff.

Because we are inferior.
I bet that NetEase has enough of a say on the Chinese version to force an official stats section/website.

They refuse to give us official stats; a proper API is something I begged for long before OW ‘2’ was ever announced, even. If Rivals didn’t literally release with a fully functioning one, I’d have said we’d never get one…heck, even Dead by Daylight has one, now…so they might feel pressured to implement it as a result.
Overbuff is useless data. Not accurate.
