Idea for an "Advantage meter"

[OverWatcherofU]

Hey guys, first time poster looking for some information on the plausibility for a type of "Advantage" meter for Overwatch.

The final output would simply display a whole number between -6 and 6...
EX.
* (0) meaning its currently an even 6 vs 6 fight
* (-1) meaning you're at a disadvantage of being down 1 teammate
* (2) meaning you currently have an advantage of 2 teammates more than the other team
and so on....

For now, im just interested in this at its most basic form. My idea was to use the kill feed in the top right corner of the screen and to pixelsearch or screen scrape which color appears to determine which team has the advantage. I'll worry about Mercy rez and different map spawn/walk back times later.

Does this sound like something that can be done easily enough? Any ideas would be greatly appreciated.

Don't see why not. Red/Blue are pretty distinct and I think the position is always the same. Just gotta be careful with determining what is a new entry to the kill feed or when 2+ people die at once.

It's doable, but why should I need such a program ?

Any idea what kind of software I should be searching for? If I can find the right keywords to use I know I can figure it out for the most part. Screen scraping, pixel searching, ....

It seems extremely basic I know but not having to process this info would be great. Usually its easy to just press tab and take a look, but in diamond and below the staggering of deaths is insane. If everyone doesn't die around the same time its difficult to keep track sometimes. Also, I figured this would be fun project
