Trap/mine combos mean that you don't have the mine available to airburst in people's faces, which I do constantly, or to blow Reinhardt away from his team. The trap alone is enough to set up a couple left-click hits.

I mean if you get a better opportunity after setting up the combo, you can still use your conc mine anyway. It doesn't take that option away from you. I find half the time I set up the trap combo I have to use the mine before I get to use the combo and that's okay - its completely worth setting up anyway for the time you catch that Tracer or whoever flanking on the side before anyone comes in the front gates.

As a PC player Tracer is one of the easiest characters to kill as Junkrat cause that dumb idiot will run into my trap + mine combo every. single. time.

Yeah the trap is a real headache for tracer and lots of other heroes. Junkrat shouldn't be killing tracer too much though. She has the ability to pick her fights and shouldn't be taking fights with him in hallways where he has an advantage or getting too close to him unless he's low or she has the drop on him.

Is Masteroverwatch hosed on how it's getting some of its data? Like it thinks I'm in the top 19% of Pharahs for elims per minute but bottom 28% for damage per minute and I don't imagine those coexisting. I'm not flying around looking for people with 3 HP and finding them at some insane rate.

Yes but unless I'm finding tons of half-dead targets, high elims and low damage aren't going to be that far apart. It's a trend that carries through on all my dudes. Like it thinks I'm top 10% Tracer for elims per minute and bottom 27% on damage.

Your account does the same thing. Literally every account I'm looking at, people's elims per minute percentile is way higher than their damage per minute percentile. Is there anyone out there that shows an exception

Like I'm sure people want to believe the flattering stats about their elims per minute and not the horrifying ones about their damage but it's probably just as likely that neither are correct

that's because you can get an elimination for 1 damage but people you shoot at don't necessarily die every time

Nehru the Damaja

It's percentile ranks. We can't have an entire player base in the bottom quartile for damage. And the more those bottom quartile ranks for damage coincide with top ranks for elims, the more improbable it gets.

they aren't. I'm in the top 19% for damage done and you can check the leaderboards for people in the top 10

it might even do the top percentages across all platforms, or be pulling the top percentage from blizzard's servers rather than just pooling the people that have actually been checked on master overwatch itself

Unless they've changed the way the system works, Master Overwatch only looks at and updates the people that have been searched for. And unlike something like HotsLogs for HotS, it only works for one player rather than 10. There's millions of people that have played this game. I'd be surprised if even a quarter of them are on the site, and if half of those are up to date.

Okay but actually look at those leaderboards. The quickplay damage percentiles are still dragging insanely far behind their elim per minute percentiles on everyone, even if the actual number is higher. (This doesn't seem to be as pronounced if you look at the same players' competitive records)

Like yes we can make up explanations like they're actually securing kills so they're not doing as much empty damage, but that still doesn't explain why everyone I look at in quickplay lags on damage percentile. If we see this again and again and again, there has to be some population out there with oversized damage percentile and lower and lower kill rates.

Mine are pretty close to each other. 45th/39th with Zarya, 98th/84th with Symmetra (no wonder I have a 70% win rate with her), 81st/78th with S76, 70th/64th with Rein, etc. Nothing jumps out as insane.

No it's Hanzo. Even Seagull's accuracy rating which is a super high percentile on Hanzo only amounts to about a third of his shots. But we have the same elim per minute percentile and drat close on damage.
