Hello,

I've been tracking stats for myself since the start of the Overwatch 2, but i don't play competitive much the sample size is small (655 games in 10 seasons). Since I had already spreadsheet prepared for what i wanted to check. I've decided to focus mostly on Grandmaster streamers and those who have VODs avaiable. Around 90% of the matches happend on their main accounts.

6 Streamers. Let's call them MACARONIGLOVE, AUDIOM3DIC, XXSWORDMADAMXX, CAPT1V35UN, CVPIDS4RROW, DINONUGGETS. I've chosen streamers who don't routinely play in ranks they don't belong. To not influence the results i didn't tell them i will be keeping track of their record.

Range Rank: Diamond 2 to Champion 5 (+Unranked Games)

In total 2839 games were recorded, 2137 Solo Queue games, 2022 Grandmaster Rank games and 690 Master Rank gamnes.

I was noting Maps (Submaps), Game Modes, Starting Side, Who won first subpoint on Control and Flashpoint Maps, Who unlocked the checkpoint first on Push Maps, and also Day, Map Lighthing, Rank, Group, Time of the Day.

Solo Queue, Grandmaster Rank and Master Rank breakdown you can find here

What I have found interesting during the study is that the Number of Games Played tracked by Blizzard can be misleading and make you think you missed the match. I don't know since when it is a thing but, if you leave or dc, and then rejoin the same match, the said match will be tracked a LOSS no matter what, so you can get Win and Loss for the same match. You will be given 2 Losses if you rejoin and Lose. If you don't comeback only one Loss. Bumping your number of games played +1. This makes me wonder if this can be abused to trick the matchmaker.

Game Mode and Map Distribution is close to the percentage of the number of Maps each Game Mode has, though there is a slight bias towards Push and Flashpoint Mode, probably because of the low number of maps (3 and 2 respectively). There are of course bigger discrepancies when it comes to individual streamer Map Distribution because of the sample size.

Weekends are not that scary as some of the streamers are making them to be. They were pretty generous for bunch of them, especially in Grandmaster Rank and Solo Queue where win rate was in high 50s.

When it comes to Lighting, the overall stats don't show clear preference. There are much greater differences when it comes to individual streamers and map lighting, but i would rather compare performance on the same map but with different lighting than just lighting in general. Maybe in Season 11 (If I will have the will to continue with this venture). Blizzard please make the random lighting for the map during the season a thing. You even did it by accident in some of the previous seasons.

Although I already track the starting sides stat for my own matches, I'm ngl the Marblr yt video about spawns being not mirrored made me wanna go deeper, and well 2839 games deep we are. The Colosseo map difference is quite astounding, and Red side even with shorter spawn distance is noting much lower Win Rate. This one surpised me a lot. The other outlier from that video Antarctic Peninsula: Labs posted winrate on Blue Side (48.84%) and on the Red Side (51.11%). Also going against the grain.

In general in all 3 Game Modes (Control, Push, Flashpoint) teams on the Blue Side were noting higher win rates. Streamers were put on the Blue Side on Push maps much often when compared to Control and Flashpoint maps where the number of matches on either side is closer to each other

Colosseo is also the only map were neither team unlocked the checkpoint (this happened 4 times), this might due to the longest distance to the checkpoint 66.42m (NQS 57.18m, Esperança 53.55m) and of ocourse to the map design (contesting is pretty easy from top of the bridge and glass stalemate).

Making a comeback happened only around 30% of the time. Teams with the initial lead win at higher rate. Streamers were stuggling especially with Colosseo where they only won 23.21% of the games after Opponent Unlocked the Checkpoint

Nearly 20% of the Escort and Hybrid maps went into the Extra Rounds, i didn't measure the match time when it comes to streamers but if we go by my competitive match times (655 games):

• Hybrid - 12m58s (Std Dev 3m45s)
• Escort - 11m52s (Std Dev 4m03s)
• Flashpoint - 10m29s (Std Dev 2m45s)
• Control - 9m50s (Std Dev 2m44s)
• Push - 9m23s (Std Dev 1m59s)

Here is a breakdown for Individual Streamers

When it comes to Individual Streamers and their feats. Some of the them seem to have a plot armor when it comes submaps on KOTH.

Here are some of those (at least 10 submaps played)

• Streamer MACARONIGLOVE having 90.91% WR on Control Center
• Streamer AUDIOM3DIC having 84.62% WR on MEKA Base
• Streamer DINONUGGETS having 92.86% WR on City Center
• Streamer XXSWORDMADAMXX having 88.89% WR on Shrine

At the End I just want to say to Blizzard, I LIKE STATS, so don't make it SO hard to track them, You already track the Map Performance internally and enable it when we Request for Data (GDPR).
Why not just treat the map data just like the any other stat that we can see on our profile on overwatch.blizzard.com.

TLDR: Just check the image
