Which hero gets a "Game Won" in the statistics if I switch heroes mid-game?
In Overwatch, you can view a number of statistics on various heroes you've played throughout the game. One of the notable ones to look at is "Games Won".
One might think that if you play a game and use a hero, you've played one game as that hero, and if you win that game, it should count towards your "games won" for that hero.
But Overwatch is also a game where you can change heroes halfway through a game - starting as one, then changing if things go poorly or if the situation calls for it.
So if I start a game as one hero, then finish it as another, and win, how does the game count how many "Games Won" to add to which heroes?
To clarify: On the "Overview" page, if I select "games won" in the "Hero comparison", if I use several heroes during a single game, which hero(s) "games won" would increase?
Best Answer
The game calculates wins based on what hero you finish the map, as far as my experience goes. In beta, it also seemed to mark all played characters that game as having lost if you didn't win, but I'm not sure if that's still the case.
When I get home later, I'll record my "games won" and "games lost" for a couple of heroes before and after quick play, then update this answer with my findings for some (hopefully) more conclusive evidence to support.
