These come from overbuff. I thought this was interesting.

Anyone else surprised Torb has the lowest death rate? Is this a bug with overbuff?

Doom dying most in unsurprising but by that much? If you remove Doom from the list the avg death rate of tank drops from 7.05 to 6.75 
. Maybe he does need more survivability???

This should maybe be a wakeup call to many here. Despite all the talk support has the lowest death rate. Even when removing Doom from tanks support is still lower. This to me means support issue is not with survivability but with impact/carry potential.
I thought this was interesting. What do you think? What are some things you take away from these numbers?

supports having the lowest death rate doesnt surprise me either. i play BOTH dps and support and i die way more as dps since i have to be aggressive sometimes ON tyring to kill the enemies supports so your risking yourself when the enemy team saves their supports and your in way over your head but you have to be that way at times or the enemy never dies

Overbuff is trash as a source of statistics. I havenāt checked this week but last week it said Ramattra was the least picked hero out of all heroes (LESS THAN HAMSTER) in the last month.

This data doesnāt support the SMU (support main union) narrative. So clearly it is biased and incorrect.
One support death per game is one death to many.

Well ya he would be he hasent been out long of course thays how adding new heros in and checking week one first of not everyone has the hero se ond he still needs time to accumulate data
Overbuff is busted, I am 156 - 6 with JR according to the website. Also, it is not creating percentages correctly. It had me with Mercy 60 - 24 or something of that nature and said it was 43%.

I like never die as Moira and have several games with 0 deaths so I expected hers to be absurdly low.

Doom has always been in the double digits, he was the same when he was a dps.
Not surprising considering the hero has to throw himself at you to get value lol.
That being said, revert the doom rework.

The bottom line is they canāt ever get accurate data because profiles are private by default, not enough people are going to sign up to share their profile id, and I doubt Blizzard is cooperating with them running bots against their servers trying random profile codes to try to find players with open profiles.
Another very important point is that this is a FOR-PROFIT company doing this. It would not shock me if it was revealed that they manually doctor and fix up the stats to seem realistic to get more views/$$$. They could even claim they do not do it maliciously. They can simply say ābased off the gathered dataā they were correcting āinconsistenciesā or āerrorsā in the database etc.
Okay one they dont have the data to work with is a bs excuse they have enough to use secondly ramatra is all time thats all we just need him ot be in for a month plus and his data will show up
Yeah some of the stats are weird. I think these are somewhat accurate. Comparing these tanks death rates to the ones Blizzard gave at the end of beta 2, they seem pretty similar:
Now this is before Ramattra and Kiriko were released so maybe this explains some of the differences? Overall I think the overbuff stats here are somewhat reliable.
How did they release DF as a tank in that state still blows my mind.

Canāt compare 1 stat and speculate change. Most these stats are explainable. A high amount of doom players do not look at healer locations and their health. They tend to dive in. A high amount donāt watch their healers and peel so they donāt have healing. Torb has a speed buff and runs away. Has a little heal pop as well. Usually plays further away to get value. Not really surprised by these stats except zarya still having a low death rate.

Yeah I figured as much. Most of the other snipers have very low death rates compared to other dps as well. I just thought heād be higher because he has a fat hitbox thatās super easy to hit
Yeah heās easy to hit but also has armor. His turret is a nice spy as well so flanking him is tough.

Also very curious that D.Va death rate is lowest in the game lol. I donāt think they count de-mech as a death? If they did I assume sheād be kinda around Zarya level.

I think doom is an easy hero to feed with, his moveset always lets you get ācarried on by the momentā and you feel excited, a new player will also feel confused for what heās doing, doesnāt get it but looks cool, sounds cool, and eventually you ripperoni
