Overbuff has shut down
Overbuff sunset its Overwatch 2 service, and the site that a lot of players used to check a BattleTag or settle a hero argument is no longer answering. Mercy covers most of what people opened Overbuff for — career profiles, rank progression and hero win rates — as an app on iPhone and Android rather than a website.
Three habits made up most Overbuff visits. Here is how each one maps onto Mercy, including where the mapping is imperfect.
Search any BattleTag and read the full career profile: competitive rank for Tank, Damage and Support, games, wins, win rate, KDA, most played heroes and best performances, on PC and console, in Competitive and Quick Play. This is free and needs no account.
A profile set to private in the Overwatch 2 settings cannot be read by Mercy or by any other tool.
Mercy builds tier lists from measured win rates rather than opinion, filtered by role and by rank bracket, because Bronze Tank and Grandmaster Tank are not the same game. Refreshed daily.
Tier lists are part of the Mercy Pro subscription.
Tank, Damage and Support each get their own chart from Bronze to Ultimate, with win rate and KDA on the same timeline, over 7, 30 or 90 days or any range you pick. A session tracker snapshots your profile before and after a play session and shows what it cost you.
History starts the day you start tracking. Nobody can reconstruct the seasons Overbuff recorded before it closed.
Knowing the gaps up front beats finding them after the download.
Mercy is not the only thing left, and the honest answer to "what replaces Overbuff" is that different parts of it went to different places.
Overbuff announced that it was sunsetting the service, citing changes to Overwatch over the years that reduced the quality of the data it could collect. The site no longer serves player profiles or hero statistics.
No. Overbuff kept that history on its own servers and no tool can recover it. Mercy starts recording from the moment you first look yourself up, and keeps the timeline from there on your device.
Yes. Searching any BattleTag, the full career profile with ranks, win rate and KDA, the hero and map database and following up to five players are free in Mercy, with no ads. Rank history, the session tracker, head-to-head comparison and daily tier lists are part of the optional Mercy Pro subscription.
No. Mercy never asks for a Blizzard account, an email address or a password. You type a BattleTag and it reads that player’s public Overwatch 2 career profile.
Free on the App Store and Google Play. Type a BattleTag and you are set up — there is nothing to sign up for.
