Overbuff has shut down, so Overwatch players now rely on Blizzard's official Hero Statistics page for pick and win rates, the in-game career profile for personal stats, and third-party trackers such as Tracker.gg, Counterwatch, Overman and Dodge.gg for player lookups. Most third-party trackers need your career profile set to Public.
This guide compares the main Overwatch stats options side by side, explains what each one actually offers, and covers the privacy setting that decides whether trackers can see you. It is current as of October 2026. For what the numbers mean once you find them, read Overwatch stats explained.
What happened to Overbuff?
Overbuff was one of the best-known Overwatch stat sites for years. Its homepage now carries a closing notice that says it is time to sunset Overbuff, per Overbuff.com. The notice points players to Blizzard's own hero statistics, which are now available in game and on the official website. The notice does not give a shutdown date, so we do not list one.
A quick naming note: Blizzard dropped the "2" in February 2026, and the game is officially just Overwatch again, per Shacknews. Many players still search for Overwatch 2, so you will see both names on stats sites.
What are the best Overbuff alternatives in 2026?
Here is a side-by-side look at the options we could verify. Features come from each site's own pages or from published roundups, and they can change without notice.
| Option | Player lookup | Hero pick and win rates | Notable extras |
|---|---|---|---|
| Blizzard Hero Statistics | No | Yes, official | Filters by tier, role, map, input, region and mode |
| In-game career profile | Your own profile | Your own heroes | Per-hero stats filtered by game mode |
| Tracker.gg | Yes | Per-player hero stats | Leaderboards and history views |
| Counterwatch | Yes | Yes, filtered by rank | Windows overlay app and team builder |
| Overman | Yes | Your own sessions | Session tracking and friend comparisons |
| Dodge.gg | Yes | Yes | Map info and coverage of other games |
| RankSurge | Not live yet | No | Overwatch rank and stats guides |
What does Blizzard's official Hero Statistics page show?
Blizzard's Hero Statistics page is the closest replacement for Overbuff's hero meta tables, and it comes straight from the publisher.
- Stats: pick rate, based on playtime relative to all heroes, and win rate. A ban rate column is also shown for competitive play.
- Filters: role and subrole, input (mouse and keyboard or controller), Quick Play or Competitive Role Queue, rank tier from Bronze to Champion, map and region (Americas, Asia or Europe).
- Timing: stats are pulled from the start of the most recent patch, and Blizzard notes updates can take up to a day after a new patch.
It does not offer individual player lookups or hero-versus-hero matchup data, so it answers "what is strong at my rank" rather than "how am I doing." For our own take on picks, see the tier lists.
What can you see in the in-game career profile?
The career profile inside Overwatch is the most direct source for your personal stats. Per esports.gg, the Overview shows total hours and your most-played heroes, and clicking a hero opens detailed stats.
- Results: time played, games played, won and lost, and win percentage.
- Combat: eliminations, assists, deaths, final blows, solo kills and hero damage done.
- Role stats: healing done, objective time and kills, and weapon accuracy.
- Filters: a dropdown splits stats by game mode, such as Quick Play.
Blizzard also hosts an official player search page on its website. If you only care about your own numbers, the in-game profile is enough. Third-party sites mostly add history, comparisons and leaderboards on top.
How do Tracker.gg, Counterwatch, Overman and Dodge.gg compare?
Tracker.gg
Tracker Network covers Overwatch with profile lookups and leaderboards, including views such as lifetime hero accuracy and win-rate history, per a 2026 roundup from Counterwatch. It does not offer a counter picker or overlay. Some of its data, such as hours played, needs a Public career profile.
Counterwatch
Counterwatch is a free Windows app on Overwolf with an in-match overlay that suggests counter picks and swaps, estimates win chance and tracks live session stats. Its site adds rank filters and a team builder, and aggregate stats refresh once a day, per the same Counterwatch article. Since that roundup is published by Counterwatch itself, weigh its comparisons with that in mind.
Overman
Overman is a free web tracker focused on play sessions. You search by Battle.net ID, press Reload after a session, and see stats grouped by session and date, with graphs over time and comparisons with friends. Your account must be set to Public, and stats update only after you finish a game and close Overwatch. An optional Battle.net login lets you set the timezone for daily stats.
Dodge.gg
Dodge.gg offers Overwatch hero stats and win rates, map information, player profiles and news. It also covers several other games, which is handy if you play more than one. Its Overwatch page does not say where its data comes from.
Why can't a tracker find my Overwatch profile?
The most common reason is privacy. Overwatch has a Career Profile Visibility setting, and third-party trackers can only read profiles set to Public, per esports.gg.
- Open settings: launch Overwatch, press Escape and open Options.
- Find the setting: go to the Social tab and scroll to Identity.
- Change it: set Career Profile Visibility to Public. The change saves when you close the menu.
- Wait for a refresh: trackers update on their own schedules, so new games may not show at once.
Setting your profile to Public means anyone with your BattleTag can view your stats. If you prefer privacy, keep it Private and rely on the in-game profile.
Does RankSurge track Overwatch stats?
Not yet. Overwatch player lookups are not live on RankSurge. We offer guides and rank info now, and we will add lookups when official data access allows. Today, our live lookups cover Deadlock, Counter-Strike 2 (Steam and FACEIT), Dota 2 and Destiny 2. For Overwatch, we publish Overwatch ranks explained, how to rank up in Overwatch and Role Queue vs Open Queue.
Use the right tool for each job. Check Blizzard's rates for the meta and your career profile for personal stats, then use our Overwatch stats hub and climbing guides to turn the numbers into a plan.
Frequently asked questions
Is Overbuff still working in 2026?
No. Overbuff's homepage now shows a closing notice saying it is time to sunset the site, and it points players to Blizzard's official hero statistics, which are available in game and on the Overwatch website. The notice does not give a shutdown date. For hero pick and win rates, Blizzard's Hero Statistics page is the closest replacement, and third-party trackers cover individual player lookups.
What is the best Overbuff alternative?
It depends on what you used Overbuff for. For hero pick and win rates by rank, Blizzard's official Hero Statistics page is the most direct source because it comes from the publisher. For looking up a specific player, Tracker.gg, Counterwatch, Overman and Dodge.gg all offer profile search. Counterwatch adds an in-match overlay, while Overman focuses on session-by-session tracking and comparisons with friends.
Does Blizzard have an official Overwatch stats site?
Yes. Blizzard runs a Hero Statistics page on the official Overwatch website that shows pick rate and win rate for every hero. You can filter by rank tier, role, map, input type, region and Quick Play or Competitive Role Queue. Stats are pulled from the start of the most recent patch. It does not offer individual player lookups, which is why third-party trackers still exist.
How do I make my Overwatch profile public?
Launch Overwatch, press Escape and open Options. Go to the Social tab, scroll to the Identity section and set Career Profile Visibility to Public. The game saves the change when you close the menu. Once your profile is public, third-party trackers can read your stats, though each site refreshes on its own schedule. Anyone with your BattleTag will also be able to view your stats.
Why are my Overwatch stats not updating on a tracker?
Most often your career profile is set to Private, which blocks third-party sites from reading it. Switch it to Public in Options under the Social tab. If it is already public, the tracker may simply not have refreshed yet. Some sites update on a daily schedule, and Overman only updates after you finish a game, close Overwatch and press Reload on your player page.
Can I look up Overwatch players on RankSurge?
Not yet. Overwatch player lookups are not live on RankSurge, and we will only add them when official data access allows. Right now we publish Overwatch guides, including our ranks guide, stats guide, rank-up guide and a Role Queue versus Open Queue explainer. Live lookups on RankSurge today cover Deadlock, Counter-Strike 2 with Steam and FACEIT data, Dota 2 and Destiny 2.
