Is it a NOO BLOG or a NOOB LOG Kappa

For the LULs I decided to log 100 games as OST. We always talk about ELO hell so I thought I should take a closer look.

Here is a chart of the 100 games played. You can see the classic ELO hell SINE wave pattern early on. This gradually settled down towards the end. These ranks go from 11 - 13. When I started this quest I was rank 14 in all factions of noob play but had recently dropped to 11 as OST due to ELO hell.

INTERESTING STATISTICS
Of the 100 games played 50 were deemed almost impossible to win scenarios. This is due to Premade teams, shitty match ups, droppers, bug splats, etc. 29 games were completely impossible to win losses. Zero chance of winning.

Of those 50 impossible games, 8 were actually won. Due to enemy bug splats, drops, or win. As ELO hell goes that is 8/50 to our benefit or 16.0% win rate.

Of the 100 games 11 were bug splats. 11/100 = 11%. Of the 11 bug splats, 8 were the enemy team and resulted in a win 8/11 = 72.7% win rate. 2 of those games, all players dropped and it turned into a 1v1. Both games were won. 3 games my team crashed and all were losses. 3/11 = 27.2%

Of the 50 normal games played 40 were won and 10 were lost. These were generally good fun games. This gives us a win rate of 40/50 = 80% for possible win games.

Of the 100 4v4 games played there were 180 enemy players who were on a team. 100x4 enemys = 400 possible players. 180/400 = 45.0% were team players.

Of the 100 games there were 38 against a full premade team. 38/100 = 38.0% against full teams.

Of the 400 players I played with, 10 were toxic asshats that could be removed from the game and I would be ok with that. Each was in a single game for 10 cancer-inducing-make-you-want-to-choke-the-shit-outta-some-one games. 10/400 = 2.5%. The number of very cool players was much higher than this. So that is a good sign for the community. Another way to look at it is 10/100 games were asshats or 10/100=10% of games played you had to deal with a booger-eating-moron-pinging-asshat.

SUMMARY
100 games played and 48 were won or 48%. 10% of games has toxic players. 11% of games had a bug splat.

After this study I started playing Brits. 6 games played and only 1 was playable. Then deleted the game.

CAVEATS
There are a lot of variables such as map position, faction line ups, etc that blur the lines. There were also a couple matches where the premade team was very new. These were not added to the premade/impossible lists.

It was a very interesting adventure indeed.
