Is that score/min or total score? If the latter, your Tracer play time would put you in the top 1%.

It's not based on games played. Looks like they weigh all the stats somehow. Completely arbitrary of course

Where are you seeing information spread out like this?
overbuff... it's linked like 20 times on this page lol

is brawl out yet where it's nothing but KOTH matches
Yeah, I figured that was the case. It would be great if there was an official Blizzard site that was this comprehensive with stat breakdowns and had every player.
I'm curious about this as well. I don't think it's total score like Master Overwatch, but it's hard to tell considering their databases are different. My rankings seem more in line with score/min ranking on Master Overwatch, not total score ranking, so I'm guessing they have their own algorithm that determines skill instead of a total score? No idea.

You can get a glimpse of what's going on by looking at the leaderboard and comparing the rankings between overview/primary stats. You can see which stats are weighed and which are mostly ignored (for example obj time and healing varies greatly in offensive leaderboard between individual entries) but elims are all 19+ etc.
It's all ranked by "Rating" which is some arbitrary value calculated from the rest of the stats. I don't see how they calculate this exposed anywhere
It actually makes me think about which stats I would weigh, and how, when it comes to determining player rankings for each hero. Playing the objective, how long you're on fire, e/d ratio? It's an interesting question, and probably should be different for each hero category.

Don't stop shooting, mostly. Right click when you've got decent charge, only stopping to focus on closer enemies and / or to up shields.
She's got plenty armor and health to be a bit aggressive, but knowing when to save shield for your retreat or when to use it to push is a big part of her dynamic.
Also my Junkrat is preeeeety high up there, just not enough matches played yet to have any ranking. Neat.

Started a defence in Kings Row as Zenyatta, the doors open and 5 Widowmakers (with their PS4 body shot powers still in place) pop out, needless to say I was initially terrified.
...until it turned out none of them were particularly accurate and got wrecked.

Yeah, sometimes I just hang back by the objective rather than overextend trying to get a few more kills/points. But perhaps, to climb the Overwatch ranks, I need to step it up!
I mean you get score for everything so raising spm is mostly you just being more involved all the time. Doing damage, killing people, killing sentries/turrets/teleporters/traps, capping points, escorting the payload, blocking damage, etc. You get score for all of it so you just have to do more of it more of the time.

I guess I've been lucky thus far and avoided a good deal of the unpleasant folk thus far. Then again, I play quite late at night. The worst I usually get is someone bragging how much pot they just smoked. =p
Once competitive starts, though, I expect things to be a gong show of salty, toxic people, as Blizzard gets hit by a maelstrom of reports. When one's rank is on the line is when I expect people to get a whole lot more terrible.

Man, that feeling when as a Tracer you feel like you won the game, despite not charging for the point head on.
Just played a game on Volskaya and towards the end I snuck in the back, killed a Hanzo who was way too distracted.
Found a Turret and shot at it enough to get the dwarf to come over and repair it. Throw a sticky on him to eliminate them both.
Snuck around back to clean up the Zenyatta with one clip+melee because I missed a bit.
At this point my team shows up and starts attacking to the point that Zarya has maybe 50 health left, so I finish her off as well.
Ended the game with 4 Gold Medals.
I'm actually starting to like Tracer now, go figure. Though I've realized when she's useful and when she's dead weight.
The other two people on the enemy team was a Reaper and a Reinhart, and the Reinhart I wouldnt' even bother attacking unless his armor was already gone.

She strikes me as a chaotic character that distracts. She also carves good chunks of health and will have the upper hand in most cases against single wandering targets. I have trouble hitting her from really up close most of the time hehe.

[ragemode] NO IT WASN'T. YOU WON WHILE THE PAYLOAD WAS ON OVERTIME RIGHT NEXT TO THE FINISHING POINT AND YOUR PHARAH GOT A LUCKY "JUSTICE RAIN FROM ABOVE". [/ragemode]

I'm in the 99th percentile in eliminations with D.Va at 18.88 average. Insane.
Score/Min seems to be the only one of the two I can see in the stats.
Damn looking at it now my almost of my Tracers stats are in the 97-99% range.

So is Overbuff also affected by the Battle.net stats outage or whatever? Because it can't find my BNet profile. I haven't played in a couple of days, maybe that's why?
Any Xboners wanna party up with the 1,420th best Lucio on XBL? lol
I'm about to hop on.
Weird, here's PSN. Deaths must be really pulling down my rank?
Note to self: Stop dying.

case sensitive. i assume you checked that.

Higher percentile = you're outpacing that percent of players on average.
90th percentile means you're better than 90 percent of other players on that character.
But, it's only for people that sign up on the site, since there's no API yet for Overwatch.

like other sites it ranks those that search their name at least once.

Overbuff has gained 35K players since I last looked at it three hours ago.
I need to start narrowing down my hero choices. Whenever I look at people above me (I'm at 77%), they're always much pickier about who they play.
At this point, here's my decision-making (unless my team has a gaping hole in it in solo queue)...
Escort Attack:
Zarya, Genji*, Pharah**, Reaper***, and lastly Soldier 76 or Tracer if we need a desperate contest
Escort Defend:
Soldier 76, Pharah**, Junkrat, and lastly Tracer if we need a desperate hold
Assault Attack:
Zarya, Genji*, Pharah**, and lastly Soldier 76 or Tracer if we need a desperate contest
Assault Defend:
Symmetra until the first point falls, Soldier 76, Pharah**, Junkrat, Reaper***, Lucio, and lastly Tracer if we need a desperate hold
Control:
Reaper***, Pharah**, Tracer, Genji*, Lucio
Hybrid:
See Assault choices for first pick, and then Escort choices for what I will often switch to once the point is won.
R.I.P.:
McCree, Widowmaker****
*Provided their comp features squishies and no more than one of Winston, Zarya, or Mei.
**Provided they don't have an effective Soldier 76 or Widowmaker.
***Provided there are at least two tanks to bust and preferably no Pharah.
****I will only break her out of cryo if they have an abundance of squishies or turrets.
I hope they tweak McCree to a place where I can pick him ahead of Soldier 76 again.

Nope other way.
Higher is better.
100% means you are amongst the best players in the game.
i would like to know that too.

98th percentile Tracer!
Lately, I can't ever play her since everyone rushes to pick their Genji / Widow / Hanzo.
I can rarely justify putting a Tracer with that, but I'm just going to start #YOLO #SOLO picking her.

No, the lower it is, the worse you are. It's based on percentile so 99% is amazing and 1% means you should just stop playing.

If you're getting a number instead of a percent, it means your are high enough in the percent to show otherwise.
My Winston is #193 but if I hover over I'm 97th%
Also hover over the infinity symbol and it will tell you it needs more games to display.
