New Stat? (in General)


JacksBloodyKnuckles June 26 2005 4:50 PM EDT

Obviously anyone with a calculator could tell you what your Score/PR ratio was, but does anyone else think it would be really convenient if this were part of the stat page? It could help with finding well-matched opponents (though this is admittedly part of any good strat), and would also help people evaluate how well their particular strat was performing.

Thoughts?

FORS #4: Please add a score:power ratio stat

ah, but high nw has been added to PR now :)

...and if Decay skews this so much...why does everyone think is sucks?

i think it would be an awesome stat to have now.

Maelstrom, how much consideration to give to such a stat would be up to each user, as is the case with all the ones already being posted. And it shouldn't be too hard for Jon to implement, since the game already calculates the ratio for the CB retire-bot.

SC--it skews the stats in this way:

A team has a base decay trained, and fights a team with no AMF.

Say the team with no AMF is a single minion of some sort, it is hit very hard by decay.

So its not that decay will skew the stats against every team, there are just certain setups weak to it.

Just calculate it with your own pocket calculator if you want that stat so much ;)

slayer, if you dont have amf, then you better be prepared to be hit with decay. i dont have amf, but i dont see any people below me with it living long enought to use it. and if someone did live long enough to use it, then they are probably at my same level.

its a perfectly viable stat, and if you want to get down to it, every stat can be skewed

Pr (use usd to buy a huge NW)
economy clan revenue (buy a bunch of usd, have people send you money, ect,)
score (have one of the higher players unequip while you bash them)
NW (rentals)
richest (get a loan)

all of these stats could be considered worthless, but to the people who know what they are looking for, and why they got that way, they are meaningful. even if decay did skew it, i wouldnt have a hard time looking through the top ones to find which ones are skewed by decay, and i would know right away.

i do however, think it should be limited to only the characters on the first page of the stats of Most Powerful/Highest score.

any newbie at 20 mpr can get a small fireball and blast away at unequipped farms way above them. you need to level the playing field.

besides, all you really want to see is what strat is dominating at the top, not what is dominating at the bottom.

and i guarentee you wont find decay anywhere near dominating in a list like that.
