Smaller? Goes from 38% to 43% which not only shows that the balance is heavily skewed in Axis favour in large gamemodes. Looking at top 200 only, this is further amplified. The number of games is smaller, but still large enough to see a pattern.
When it comes to player TOP200 in 4vs4 the number of games for March is 278 and for April 358.
If one uses the number for player that are top 200 instead, the numbers of games goes up almost 100 times to 33K and 42K.
The first set of number are around 10 games per day and can easily be influenced by a single player or team deciding to play a specific faction for some days.
The second set of number are that easily influenced.
It is of several orders of magnitude smaller, the pattern, but still there is a clear outline. 12% is a large margin. In a balanced game, the number would go between 49-51% winrates for factions respectively. For a 12% difference to be in 1000 games, and 8% in 70 000+ games, then the balance team really really needs to get a good look at it. 1v1. Axis lose by a couple of percent, which means they need buffs somewhere. In 2v2+ they need nerfs.
You don't need to be a mathematician to notice the pattern. Hell, if you play 3v3+ you notice it well. Of course, in your mind, axis is severely UP, so I don't plan on discussing anything with you. Good day
Axis/Allies balance is really irrelevant since the question I replied to, was specifically about the performance of the Soviet faction.
If one uses the stat from "all players" Soviet actually did better in April than they did in March by 0.8%
