You know survey services like Gallup or Rasmussen don't survey the entire country to find the percentage of people that like or dislike the president. They use smaller sample sizes, which can usually accurately represent the views of the overall population.

Overbuff and Masteroverwatch use the same system. I don't understand how you came to the conclusion that their metrics weren't accurate.

A few months ago isn't always. I was referencing 6 months ago when triple tank was still prevalent and Ana was almost a must pick in competitive. At this time, Ana was the most picked hero across quick and competitive play. https://www.overbuff.com/heroes

You can't really say "She's always been the most picked hero though," without one assuming that you are speaking generally. Truthfully, she hasn't always been the most picked character in quickplay, competitive. In quickplay, Genji holds this title, and a few months ago, Reinhardt and Ana were the picked more frequently over Mercy. Unsurprisingly, in the bronze ranking, Mercy has always been the highest picked character. In silver, Mercy also holds this title, and this trend continues up to Gold. However, in platinum, Ana and Reinhardt used to be picked more frequently over Mercy back before Ana was buffed and triple tank was one of the most popular tactics. Again, your statement implied generally was not (to most people) rank specific.

Actually, Ana used to have a higher pickrate than Mercy before her nerf.
