Nevermore135 Posted February 8 Share Posted February 8 Technically, you’re above average. The player win rate distribution is skewed low. 2 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes, IIRC if the distribution that had prevailed for a few years when the maplesyrup site closed down is still accurate, 50% WR is somewhere in the 55-60 percentile, and 52% is around the 65th.

Itwastuesday Posted February 9 Share Posted February 9 Gratz. Takes time to make the stat move, especially if you have bombed it initially with spamming a ton of games in garbage ships you didn't know how to play like I did. How's your wr graph look? 3 hours ago, Wolfswetpaws said: Congratulations. 🙂 Star Trek: Enterprise version And now for the unicum version 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

With that number of battles under your belt, it gets harder to move the WR%. What this actually does say is that recently you were winning above the 50% mark - so pat yourself on the back! 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Utt_Bugglier Posted February 9 Share Posted February 9 14 hours ago, Nevermore135 said: Technically, you’re above average. The player win rate distribution is skewed low. But you can’t say for certain…Dickens wrote about this in his least- known work, “A Tale of Two Divisions”: “STAVE 1. Lesta’s Ghost: …(There is no doubt that Charles Dickens absolutely was paid by the word. This must be distinctly understood, or nothing wonderful can come from the story.)… It was the best of divisions, it was the worst of divisions… There was a short-lived computer naval wargame (called Not World of Warships), not too long ago, in which exactly one hundred battles were fought, no more, no less. All of these battles, more (or less) valiantly (very well, often much less so) fought, resulted in exactly one hundred wins, and exactly one hundred losses. Familiarly, their team format was twelve players per side, and it allowed also for divisions of up to three such player per team. One particular three-man division [CRUSHR], due to its mastery of this naval pastime, participated in all one hundred battles, and in no small part due to their participation, won all one hundred battles. Another division [MMHATEME] participated in the first fifty battles, and the cruel twists the of the matchmaker pitted them against [CRUSHR] in all fifty, and they lost all of said fifty. They became crestfallen, and departed the game from that point forward. After that, a third division [MMHATEUS2] [ok, this lack of attention to detail was one of those things that condemned this to be Dickens’ least-known work.], of new players, and played in thirty-five. The same foul fate of the matchmaker befell them as it did [MMHATEME], but they were of weaker constitution, and, dejected, quit the game after only 35 battles, losing all. Then came yet a fourth division [DUMF****’R’US], but this particular group of players had neither the inclination to care that their play was utterly wretched, nor the wherewithal to amend it. They would have been inclined to stay with the game forever, had such opportunity been afforded them, but alas, it was never to be. The remaining player pool, of eighteen players, had the middling fortune of being so spread around among these one hundred battles that they each won 50%. They all participated equally in the same one hundred battles. Lastly, the game folded after these same 100 battles, because a player base of 30 individuals could not support the developers’ prodigious appetite for yachts, vodka, caviar, and Byelorussian hookers. Because their hearts never ventured from their money changing hole, the founders of NWoWs were condemned to forever walk the earth after their corporate deaths, carrying great weights of anchor chain, witnessing what they might have changed, having lost the power to do so. Yet these souls neither mourned themselves, nor sought the redemptions of like wretched souls remaining among the living.” (Another departure from Dickens’ normal winning formula, further condemning this short tale to be his most obscure work) So, what is the average player win rate of Mr. Dickens’ small, but complete, player pool? The arithmetic mean (average) win rate of of the individual players is…40%. The average win rate of players, weighted by number of battle per player is…50%. What measure of average did maplesyrup use? wows-numbers.com? The median win rate is 50%. The most commonly occurring winrate (the mode) is 50% Does this “average win rate” (40%) accurately reflect what a player of “average” skill would be expected to obtain? Extra credit: What is the average (non weighted) win rate of playing in a division in the above Dickensian population? Yes, this is a contrived set of fictional (but mathematically viable) results, groomed to present a particular view. It’s just presented as food for thought. 1 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tocqueville8 Posted February 9 Share Posted February 9 11 hours ago, Wulf_Ace said: how is 50% average? that is below average Pretty sure that the average weighted (by number of battles) WR on each server is 49.9% or something (there are a few draws). The average winrate is likely a bit lower, 48% or so. Very experienced players aren't necessarily good, but they should overall be better than newbies with 500-1000 games, of which there are a lot more. If anything, having more points on their captains should give them a small advantage, and I'd like to believe that people actually get a bit better after thousands of games. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Admiral_Karasu Posted February 10 Share Posted February 10 I tried finding an answer, but couldn't find quickly any source that would give a definitive answer. What they show on shiptool https://shiptool.st/monitor leads me to think the minimum required might be 61.0 %, and going down from that the required percentages would be 56.0, 51.0, 46.0 and 41.0.
