While I finish re-writing the stats presentation part of my code, I thought I would put up some data that people may find interesting. (I am also fed up of people claiming that far more players are at 2k+ due to the new system without ANY evidence whatsoever)

I have pulled together the data from 7 EU BGs using a mix of 2s and 3s to plot a rating distribution, the reason the sample size is relatively small is b…  More

US Armory stats from a 1st June scan follow, in addition I have posted a comparison chart for each bracket.  While the main chart goes to 2400+(*) I have capped the comparison chart at 2300+ as things get a bit silly above that due to the small sample size, e.g. gains of over 700% in 2v2 for rogues at 2400+.

As you can see in the comparison charts things are shaking up a bit, especially in 2v2 and 3v3 where the large gains made by Rogues (and the p…  More

Well no surprises really, but out of 1036 votes Radikal was the clear favourite with 75% of the votes vs 28% (yes I can ******* count, but you could vote for both so stfu). 

Was it his baller status, his handsomeness (note to Pwyff: sorry you would have won on this I am sure but you weren't in the vote), his kick-arse movies (wtb: another duel vid!), his appeals to the Gay in all of us with his frequent dick references, or just the fact Ming is such a troll who lost his Chakra?  Alas, …  More

With the end of Phase 3 fast approaching I have rescanned the US TR realms, I have ignored the 2v2 and 3v3 data as misleading/irrelevant and will just post the 3v3 chart:

US TR class performance as of 18th May 2008



US TR 3v3 Comparison - 18th May vs 18th April
The following chart show how the class has changed since the 18th April stats, e.g. if a Class was 100% in April and it is now 150% then it will have seen a 50% gain, if it has gone from 100% to 50% Then it will be a -50% gain.

With the TR armoury data now live I have scanned both US TR realms, the stats are shown below.

Please note that due to the armory restrictions we are limited to the top 5000 in each bracket. Once again I have used Personal Rating as I find this provides a more accurate picture.

As expected due to the small sample size (a maximum of 5k teams per bracket) the data is more spiky than on live, and I have shown the top ratings even though there may only be one team at that rating (e.g. @2.2k+ in 3v3.)

Some of you may be familiar with the EU stats I have produced the last 2 seasons at http://vhairi.blogspot.com/ and I decided it was time to do the same for the US arena.
I don't update the stats very regularly, but rather at key stages in the season (usually near the end) as I look at overall trends for 1500+ as opposed to just the upper brackets and those trends change quite slowly.

The US stats are for the entire listed armory of 167,534 active* teams and 390,988 active* players using PERSONAL …  More
