Map favors no single comp

How we calculate this

Pick share is a map's slice of total matches played across the current filter, summed over every hero. In Overwatch, the map each match is played on comes out of the pre-match vote, so a higher pick share reflects what your lobby and the opposing lobby actually vote for, not a queue rotation.

Last 6 months trend is the same pick share computed per week, sourced from a rolling hero-per-map-per-week table. Newer maps start mid-chart once they hit the rotation.

Most played heroes on a map are the three heroes with the highest raw match counts there. Pick share next to a hero is their fraction of matches on that map, across every filter you have selected.

Best performing heroes are ranked by Bayesian-shrunk win rate, not raw win rate. Shrinkage pulls low-sample heroes toward 50% so a hero with five wins in ten matches can't beat a hero with a thousand matches at 56%. Heroes with fewer than 80 matches on the map are excluded outright.

Sample caveat. The data comes from Counterwatch community matches, not the full game population. It's a large slice (tens of thousands of matches a week), but treat it as a preference signal from our players rather than an authoritative league-wide measurement.

Frequently asked questions

Why do some Overwatch maps get played more than others?
Overwatch picks the map through a pre-match vote, so popularity reflects what players actively want to play. Meta shifts, seasonal tweaks, and which maps feel fun in a given patch all push the order around week to week.
Is this based on real match data?
Yes. Every number on this page comes from Counterwatch community matches (tens of thousands per week) pulled from our Overwolf app, not estimates or polls. It isn't the full Overwatch population, but it's a large, consistent sample.
How do you pick the best heroes for each map?
Most played is raw match count on that map. Best performing ranks by Bayesian-shrunk win rate so a hero with a thousand matches at 54% can outrank one with twenty matches at 62%. Heroes below 80 matches on the map are excluded from the best-performing list.
Why does the last 6 months chart jump around?
Map pools rotate and new maps get added each season, so a line can appear mid-chart or drop out for weeks at a time. Ranked map pools also change between seasons, which shifts the pick share across the board.
