Difference between top 200 and regular stats?

The regular analysis takes matches from top 200 players as base input too. However the difference is that regular analysis does not care about the other players.

In regular analysis you could have one team be top 200 and other team rank 2000. Or in 4v4, only 1 player from the match could be top 200 and other players might be much lower skill.

If you're including games like:

[INSERT BEST BRIT PLAYER IN THE WORLD HERE]'s UKF vs Chukiki's OST

And getting a winrate of 99 - 1 in favour of UKF, that doesn't imply that Brits are good and OST is bad, just that a good player beat a terrible one.

The best option would be for it to be a squad upgrade unlocked through regular teching, which is automatically applied to new squads (with a corresponding cost) built after the tech is unlocked.


Detailed explanation:

After the BG/Mech you can build "Soldaten" for 290 MP.

After building the Schwerer all "Soldaten" squads you have already built can be individually given the "Ober" upgrade for 50MP, to become the current "Obersoldaten".

Any squads you build after the Schwerer is down are already "Obersoldaten" and cost 340MP each, you can no longer build "Soldaten" squads.


Mostly this just simplifies some things/means you don't have to re-upgrade Obers you end up needing to rebuild in the lategame. Maybe there's an argument for doing it another way, I'd be happy to hear it. Making it a global upgrade like Bolster can cause some pricing headaches, and may make Obers too cost-effective if it is too cheap, and not cost-effective enough if it is too expensive. Same kind of issue that Bolster itself has, actually.

If "Ober" were an optional upgrade to Obersoldaten even after the tech were to unlock, it might be nice if the base "Soldaten" squad cost one/two less pop than a full Ober squad, but I'm not sure if squad population cost can actually be changed after the squad is created (Other than increasing by one per model added. Maybe there's some workaround you can do by adding an invisible, untargetable, and invincible fifth squad member who dies automatically if the other four models are lost? seems kind of hacky.)

...give Obers a tiered upgrade. You might be able to purchase them after the first truck for (for the sake of argument, not an actual suggestion of cost) 290 mp, with a reinforcement cost of, say, 30. A corresponding reduction in strength (in the form of weaker rifles? Lower RA feels like it would defeat the point) comes with this.

Then, for a 50MP upgrade, they would receive their original power level...
