Methodology
1) I gathered data for each hero from October 2015 to October 2019 from Google Trends. Each hero was assigned a color, and the region that glowed with hero’s color meant that he/she was the most searched there.
2) Keywords Everywhere determined the average monthly search volume for each hero in every region. The number was multiplied by the number of months within the timeframe to get the total number of searches since Beta release.
Note: If the average volume was zero, then the region had to be checked month to month until a number popped up. Soldier somehow got searched 1 time in Bouvet Island O.O
3) Essential assets—flags, symbols, and population—were obtained from Wikipedia.
4) The data for 250 countries/territories in total was compiled frame-by-frame in Adobe InDesign and then pieced together into an animation with Premiere Pro.
Limitations
-These numbers are not 100% exact as it only accounts for public searches from Google platforms. This is due to VPN searches blocking access to trackers, and search engines independent from Google keep their user data private. Still, Google Trends provides the most comprehensive overview of search term statistics.
