Do shots fired before the match starts count towards your end-of-game statistics?
Solution 1:
No, I've done this with Roadhog shift (Hook) as I wanted to know if this counted towards the end game statistics.
It appears it doesn't start counting them until the match begins as even though I spammed out the abilities and shooting it would only show the stats after, 100% if I landed it 0% if I missed but 50% if I hit the second shot out of 2 regardless how much I spammed during the prep stage.
Solution 2:
Backing up the previous answer, no. I noticed it because your first 5 (well, hopefully 5!) shields as Symmetra won't count if you apply them before the match starts.
Solution 3:
To add to the list of examples:
- Death don´t count before the match starts (Killed myself with pharra in the no heal zone of spawn)
- Healing done doesn´t count ( Buddy healed me while i tried to suicide without getting the points added)
We could add a lot more examples but in the end we could make it short in saying that the statistics start with the match starting (as @Bandito Dorito said)
