So if Overbuff doesn't show a rank, like the infinite symbol, does that simply mean i haven't played these characters enough to matter?

And why is my Symmetra shown with a world rank of #670 when my Junkrat shows 82%? Why the different ratings?

Yeah, you need to play more to get ranked if you see the symbol. If you hover the cursor above the symbol I believe it will say something to that effect.

I'm assuming different ratings are for when you get to a high enough percentage. As in, your percentile is so high that its better to rank you based on exact placement. IDK

 

[Miles X]

Yeah, you probably would.

What are the core differences between the two? I keep seeing it everytime I go out and am very tempted to just buy.

 

[orthodoxy1095]

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.

Makes sense since you're consistently one of the best Tracers I play with lol.

Yes, if it shows an infinite sign you're below the minimum amount of games needed to be ranked.

If your world rank has a number instead of a percentile, it means that you're so good with your character that there's no need to show a percentile number anymore. To check the percentile, just mouse over the number. Im guessing if it showed a number instead of a percentile that you're probably in the 99th percentile tho.

Correct on both counts. I think you get a # rating when you're in the 99th percentile and above. You have to play 30 games with a hero to be ranked with them, and more games played will boost your ranking somewhat; their FAQ says they're cautious about ranking you high if you've played relatively few games with a hero.

Also, all the rankings are global, across platforms and regions.

So is competitive going live this week?

 

[ChanDangle]

Is there any way to report players on consoles? Specifically players using the Symmetra turret glitch in Dorado inside of the 2nd bridge. I've been running into this way too many times now.

 

[X-Frame]

I feel pretty good about these stats:

Damn Kor, nice work. I want to be good with Pharah but I don't play her consistently enough.

And holy shit you are like Top 10% in so many characters. I'd be interested in your playstyle and tips for Pharah and Winston if you ever get around to posting some guides or videos. I always prefer getting tips from someone else on console if I can.

 

[therealminime]

I love when I switch to Winston to counter their Genji, Widow, and Mercy and then the Widow spends the whole game shitting on me for playing Winston. The poor, glorious ape.

i wouldn't bother. it'll get patched out in the next update. unless they are giving these people penalty for using an exploit?

i do that too. if there's no tracer or reaper or symmetra i switch to him to take out the easy people.

Nope.

For now use Pharah or Winston to clear them out.

Patch to fix is rumored to be July 5th.

Nah, I think it's once you reach the top 1000, and is per your platform. Example: I'm ranked 201st as Symmetra on PSN, but that's 98th percentile when I hover.

I hate that my Symmetra isn't higher but almost every game I play someone calls dibs on her first and double Symmetra is usually pretty terrible.

 

[chrominance]

case sensitive. i assume you checked that.

Yeah, unless it's actually asking for a really skewed capitalization for some reason. I'm literally copying my battletag from MasterOverwatch.

Here's something I'm interested in: How many heroes have you played more than an hour with? And how many have you played more than four hours with?

Haha yeah, I always snap pick Symmetra on defense so I can "call dibs" and get a jump start on placing turrets.

 

[orthodoxy1095]

Two heroes more than four hours.

Eight heroes more than an hour.

Three heroes proudly not played at all.

I wouldn't bother wasting Blizzard or Sony's time with that glitch. They're easy to get rid of anyways.

 

[Dead Prince]

Junkrat (14h)
Pharah (16h)

every other hero not listed is less than 1 hour.

and me. i just complain. let someone else take top ;P

 

[peakish]

Here's something I'm interested in: How many heroes have you played more than an hour with? And how many have you played more than four hours with?

My list:

Roadhog 4 hours
Zarya 4 hours
---
Torbjörn 3 hours
Reinhardt 3 hours
Junkrat 3 hours
D.Va 2 hours
Zenyatta 1 hour

Feels right but I think I need to put in some time with Winston and Genji to have some more flexibility.

 

[Shake Appeal]

Two heroes more than four hours.

Eight heroes more than an hour.

Huh.

I have 17 at more than an hour, 10 at more than four hours, and only one proudly not played at all.

I definitely need to narrow my focus.

Healing and tanking in this game is a lot more fun than it should be. This is coming from someone who played 90% scout in TF2.

 

[orthodoxy1095]

Anyone else in the "never touched Mei or Reaper" gang?

 

[Rixxan]

98% for Genji and Widow, my most played

90% for pharah, need to get better with her, although I tend to switch to her when we are getting stomped

 

[Kor of Memory]

Anyone else in the "never touched Mei or Reaper" gang?

Reaper I can understand because his job can be filled by quite a few others, but Mei is pretty unique in what she offers.

I love charging into the last capture zone and walling off a few enemies and turrets for us to capture the zone uncontested.

 

[Plywood]

Nope

What about "never touched Genji or Hanzo"

 

[Kor of Memory]

Nope

What about "never touched Genji or Hanzo"

I'm pretty much in this boat.

Ive played them both like once ever and that's it.

They really don't fit my playstyle at all.

last 4 games, just 3 min less matches...seriously Blizzard Im starting to be sick of this. Stop counting this games, I dont mind if you dont count victories, but lets be serious 99% of this games are just unwinnable so I dont mind. But I will be forever on a penalty it seems...I wont carry other dudes loses.

If you fill-in it isn't supposed to count it as a loss. It doesn't do it all the time either; it's a bug that it does it occasionally and that bug is already fixed on PTR and will be released in next patch.

[killdatninja]

How does this overbuff site calculate the rank? Is it based on the score per min?

I was comparing some of the gaffers who are ranked compared to my own, while they all made sense (better everything, I thought GAF didn't play games), the one that stood out was a rank 213 Mei (shoutouts to

Spoiler

kor_of_memory

) vs my 370 Mei.. while the stats are very similar, the score/min was the biggest difference between us.

[shoryukens]

Why would I be paired up with a level 124 as a level 32? Geez this matchmaking sometimes.
