Everything that's shipped on Overwatch Hero Stats, newest first. If a player-facing change isn't here, ping us and we'll add it.
May 2026
My Stats, Seasons explorer & a readable redesign
New My Stats page: look up any player and see how their hero win rates stack up against everyone at their rank — the comparison you can't get from the in-game career screen. The win-rate trend keeps building each time a profile is checked.
New Seasons explorer: browse hero win / pick / ban rates for any past season or mid-season patch, with an in-season daily trend for any hero.
Site-wide readability pass — body text and tables now use a clean, readable font, with the Overwatch display font kept for headings and in-game-style elements.
Home and navbar refresh: simplified navbar, a cleaner hero header, win / pick / ban leaderboards side-by-side on larger screens, and a single tidy maps grid.
The home 'new hero / map' banner now only highlights something for about a month after it lands; Clash maps are no longer listed.

Ban rates + hero-vs-hero comparison pages
Ban rate is now scraped from Blizzard's per-map competitive data and surfaced everywhere — hero rows on the home page, hero detail StatCard, the per-map cascade, tier list rows, and the comparison view.
Every pair of heroes has its own landing page at /compare/<a>-vs-<b>, with structured-data, subrole-aware related-matchup suggestions, and a verdict block.
Hero detail pages now include a Compared Against section that links out to comparison pages for every other hero, grouped by role with same-subrole heroes surfaced first.
Home page gained a Featured Matchups section pairing the top pick in each role with another hero in the same subrole (Flanker ↔ Flanker, Bruiser ↔ Bruiser, etc.).
Sitemap now indexes all 1,275 hero-vs-hero pages; non-alphabetical URLs 301-redirect to the canonical form so Google folds duplicates.
May 2026
Categorized patch markers + clickable legend
Every patch / season is now tagged: seasonal, mid-season, balance, hotfix, bug fix, event.
Each chart has a filter row to toggle marker types on/off — bug-fix and event markers are off by default so the chart isn't crowded.
Clicking a patch in the chart legend opens that exact patch on Blizzard's patch-notes page.
Patch markers are color-coded by type so the chart tells you what kind of update each line was at a glance.
Home page reordered — Top Heroes By Role now sits above the long Win Rate / Pick Rate tables.
Hero detail pages lead with stats; the descriptive blurb moved to a quieter spot at the bottom of the page.
April 2026
Visual polish
Map cards now use the colors and refreshed thumbnails from the patch each map shipped in.
February 2026
Subroles + competitive-only trends
Subroles: every hero is now labelled with its in-game subrole, matching what Blizzard added to the hero select screen.
Hero trend charts default to competitive-only data so the lines reflect real meta movement.
Contact page + footer email link.
January 2026
Tier list, season markers, and play-volume weighting
S/A/B/C/D Tier List with a transparent scoring formula — pick-rate floor, weighted win rate × pick rate, configurable cutoffs.
Stats weighted by play volume so 0.05%-pick noise stops dominating the leaderboard.
Global rank / region filter in the navbar applies to every page on the site.
Season name markers on every trend chart.
Pick-rate toggle on the hero / rank / map trend charts.
