Longest winning streak (in General)

This has probably been mentioned 1000 times already but I haven't found any mention of it in the FARQ. So now I will ask it again...

Why isn't there a "Longest winning streak" statistic?

The "Current winning streak" is really nice to have, but a "Longest winning streak" would have a lot more significance in regards to how effective a strategy is.

I don't think I've ever seen this mentioned. Wouldn't be too bad. I'm pretty sure Ranger has done about 10k, that's what I've seen. It would be him though, to have the highest, longest winning streak. Seeing as he's been king since forever.

If you mean per team, then sure, otherwise just check Koy :)
It also shows whether the team is being played conservatively.
I could buy all my BA and have a winning streak of 700 or so with good timing by dropping the two teams on my favourites that I occasionally don't beat.
That doesn't mean my strat is good, it just means that I'm avoiding players using Platypus Phlegm and fighting at 4am.

If by "team" you mean "character", then yes, that is what I am saying.

Also, with your suggested strategy, how would you prevent the record holder from sneaking an attack in from high above to break your streak?

I guess the winning streak of a defending character should be breakable only by characters within a same realm. Of course, an attacking character's streak would be broken by any loss/draw/stalemate.

my longest is over 15k, krang had one similar.

recently my longest was 14,342.

There used to be, Jon removed it a long long time ago in a galaxy far...

someone CM Jayuu, I suspect he has the longest one on record...

I'm not sure if a longest winning streak would really mean much. I'd agree that a current winning streak means a lot since it corresponds to how the game is currently played and designed. However, I think if there were a longest winning streak statistic that it would become a null point once significant changes were made.

'm far from having the current winning streak since I'm new and all. Regardless, I'm not sure I'd want to bear the burden of being one ambuscade away from losing such an accomplishment. Although, such a circumstance would argue for a longest winning streak. Perhaps the best way to solve this would be to establish a longest winning streak for each period in between any changes to game play (new/updated/nerfed items, skills/spell modifications, etc).
