I think this is a very very poor way of measuring balance. I also find it strange you are using the word barometer.

I am not smart but atmospheric pressure may be used to predict weather? So would that mean these stats do not tell you the weather but indicate what it could be statistically?

But I agree that precision in language is paramount for proper communication.

Is it common for someone to create a throwaway and then post "the facts", followed by an immediate defense of "I didn't post this for you to poke holes (read: question) my methodology" to one of the very people being used in the stats?

Anyway, the OKW v OST question is interesting. I remember VonIvan saying how surprised he was that everyone played OKW in the star crossed cup (fun games to watch btw, props to the participants and Romeo) instead of OST since he would have expected OST to be the "stronger faction".

Side note, OKW is my preferred Axis army ;D

Yes, but I'm actually not the biggest fan of these kind of stats because they don't actually measure what everybody intuitively thinks they measure, so they are bound to be misunderstood...

Statisticians often exclude outliers when studying variables (factions in this case). Studying the win streaks of the top 10 is studying the outliers of the outliers. I'm not sure it really tells you anything beyond what faction some of the top players like to play.

Ah, well, I think Elchino was asking if it would be possible to basically recreate the statistics that was formerly available on coh2charts, so that is what my answer is about.

Regarding winstreaks: Yes, it probably is more a reflection of when people play. That said, it might not actually as bad as one might think. Certainly, you'd need to employ some robust averaging method to take out the outliers. The biggest issue that I see is that the ensemble is tiny and that it is not clear over which period the streaks happened...

Still, my answer would still apply here, I'm not a big fan of using numbers from automatch to gauge faction balance...

One thing is for sure, 1v1 USF still stomps Ostheer, that match has been unbalanced since the release of Western Front Armies.

I'll take it as more of a fire alarm. A difference around 5-10% is expectable but anything beyond that it might mean that something is an issue. It won't tell you where the fire is going on but that you should take a look and see what is happening.

My controls weren't working
And if they were, you were playing dishonorably,
And if you weren't, you were playing without skill,
And if you were, it's not fun to play that way,
And if it is, you only care about winning.

Bible of Scrublord, Psalt 3:16.

Lady Xenarra: @Willy Pete The lack of April Fools this year is odd lol

Willy Pete: @Rosbone not dead yet. when that happens the font will switch to Papyrus

aerafield: yeah I already prepared my "Can't believe there's comic mode for the 10 daily visitors even on this April 1st"

01 Apr 2025, 20:29 PM

Rosbone: @dasheepeh I guess that means this site is officially dead

01 Apr 2025, 20:19 PM

Lady Xenarra: Does anyone else think that USF needs buffs? It feels like they’re on life support sometimes
01 Apr 2025, 02:36 AM

Willy Pete: @Rosbone Ahh I missed that memo. I still think its a bad decision though. Adds frustration for players and isnt gonna make them that much money
27 Mar 2025, 15:46 PM

Rosbone: It is also good they left it free until after the free to play weekend. Points for that.
27 Mar 2025, 09:34 AM

Rosbone: But I agree, the cost to get a full decent Coh game pushing $115 US is not the best idea. Especially when it needs so much more work for casuals.
27 Mar 2025, 09:32 AM

Rosbone: To be fair, it was a thank you to early fans right? They said it was not free for long and it would become a pay DLC at some point.
27 Mar 2025, 09:30 AM

Willy Pete: Re-releasing free DLC so they can charge new players money for it. Brilliant marketing strategy

Soheil: Coh2 still broken server ?
25 Mar 2025, 18:27 PM

Rosbone: Congrats to Relic. Looks like Coh3 has finally usurped Coh2 s the popular Coh. You smell terrific.

Willy Pete: @Nickbn you didn't ask a question, and this is a chat box...
20 Mar 2025, 13:11 PM

Nickbn: @Rosbone it's incredibly rude to speak on someone elses behalf, especially when a question is directly adressed to them. I understand your passion for the subject at hand but I want to hear from him.
