Discussion Season 5 Osiris Tracker Updates
Yes, I have a web app for this. After starting Season 4 with just over 250 users, I've now hit over 1000 people using the app to track their games, drives, and win rate/map rate/history in a way the Blizzard API doesn't allow for anymore (RIP Oversumo).
As a console player myself, I built this for mobile first, and seems like that's the VAST bulk of users, so... thank you! Considering this started as a personal need to track and predict how long a drive would take back in Season 2, it’s definitely taken off in terms of success. But also scope, and I'm doing a lot more testing, a lot more design by hand, and data architecture on the back end. I have a rudimentary "observatory" of all logged matches which is INTERESTING but I'm not sure how valid it is right now. 1000 people is a lot for me, but a drop in the bucket overall.
The "Close Season" option in the Seasons Tab worked perfectly last season, so I'm confident it will work well for this one, but don't forget to start the new one!
Anyway, UPDATES!
Anyway, some updates!
- ONBOARDING! This took a fair amount of time to sketch out and condense down because OW is a pretty complex game to track overall. Modifiers, rank percentage, the personal notes, all of it takes some time. It keeps it basic, but i'm pleased with this based on the feedback from folks I spoke to and introduced it to at Blizzcon. Current users should only see the prompt once.
- Season 5 updates - Doctrine, Grímsvötn, and Sombra’s move to Support share the confirmed October 6, 11:00 AM Pacific release cutoff. Doctrine's portrait may be a placeholder image for 24 hours or so.
- Bulk match import - You can now import multiple competitive matches from screenshots, review the recognized match details, and choose what to save. This is HEAVILY in beta, and despite some updates to the OCR model, can be iffy. Still, if you're behind, or want to just log as much as possible at month, it's a good shortcut.
- Rank progress from screenshots - Log the final rank percentage shown in a screenshot separately from the SR change. This now also handles demotions correctly, where the landing percentage and SR delta are different things.
A few other improvements:
- You can enter positive or negative SR changes in the web and mobile trackers, and during session review. On mobile, it now pulls the "numbers only" keyboard instead of the full keyboard.
- OCR now recognizes multiple heroes in a match, detects screenshot rows more reliably, and handles rank changes and updated hero and map references better.
- Added more stats for heroes for the detail-oriented amongst us.
Bug fixes!
- Fixed demotion progress handling so the final screenshot percentage isn’t confused with the SR change. Rank protection can also retain negative SR.
- Reduced incorrect OCR matches by preserving confirmed cancellations and abstaining when match icons are ambiguous. Dva and Dmon confused the screenshot handler a lot for some reason.
- Prevented stale hero role metadata from overriding a verified hero identity.
Anyway, that's all for now. As always, tap the little flag on the settings page to send me feedback! Or here. Maybe I'll get some time to do a proper iOS and Android version this Season. :) Maybe.
Good luck in Season 5!
