Many of you dont even question the source of OPs statistical graphics... who provided the data? how did he operate? he barely explains it on the official forum and nobody felt the need to check if he worked properly/without bias. what is the exact sample size? he mentions the top 200 in every mode thats quite weird since there are teams too... the top 200 positions in 4v4 (both factions) are actually 1600 players... how do they influence the data? which ladder is he using in 2v2+ ? if it is "random ranked", you might as well delete this thread now. its all so frustratingly scarcely sourced, i cant take it seriously, sorry

The stats only take into account the "Top 200 players" (which as mentioned in §1 isnt properly defined) in each mode over a couple of days. If this didnt ring a bell and you were like "hmmm maybe this isnt representive of the overall W/L ratios or even balance", puh, thats pretty naive of you

Even within the "top200" these graphs dont say that much... just imagine this: every axis player also plays allies once in a while and vice versa. how many of the top 200 prefer axis to allies, yet still play allies and lose? the top 200 dont always fight each other (there been cases where rank disparity reached 5000+) and again the team game problem (see §1). theres so much not taken into consideration at all
1-You go to coh2.org ladder tableboards. You daily check any variation on the numbers for each player. Since only the top200 for each ladder is represented, you can only have sample size of 200.
The top 200 players on 4v4 are 200 players, not 1600. You are a bit confused here. It is not top200 teams.
It takes only into account the performance of those players who goes with X faction to random automatch, being it 2v2 or 4v4.
How the hell Relic considers random Elo vs AT Elo i don't have a clue.
Finally, you could takes samples from AT but that would only tell you if Axis or Allies are in a better or worst situation but not taking into account any combination of armies.
2-He has being taking information since 2 months ago. You can check the other threads. Specifically with each patch.
3- Confused? Each individual has a proper ELO/rank for each faction and mode. So if you are a great player as OH and a crappy one as USF, you might not be top 200 as USF so you won't be taken into account into the top200 USF stats.
Who cares about disparity? That works both ways. You can be match with noobs since you are waiting for a long time as Axis, or as allies you can be match with a noob inmediatly (who has being waiting for a long time).
What you have make me consider now is, what happens with those who fluctuate between top 150 and top200+. I guess we have a steady info from the top150 but how the hell do you incorporate the info of someone who drops/enters top200?
