Overwatch Stats Data

Collect Overwatch 2 competitive hero statistics across all ranks using the OverFast API.

Motivating Question

Does there a way to accurately predict win rate based on a certain heros pick rate? If so is there a way to make an ideal team based on what your current groups average rank is vs the opposing teams ranks

Output: overwatch_hero_stats.csv

The program creats a csv of 350 rows with one hero, their role, given rank, pick rate, and win rate.

Column	Type	Description
hero	string	Hero name
role	string	Tank, DPS, or Support
rank_tier	string	Bronze, Silver, Gold, Platinum, Diamond, Master, Grandmaster
pick_rate	float	Percentage of matches where the hero was chosen
win_rate	float	Percentage of matches won

Ethical and Legal Considerations

• OverFast API is an open-source REST API that wraps Blizzard's official data. It is free, publicly documented, and encourages responsible use.
• To follow safe and respcetul API usage a sleep was added between requests to reduce API loads
