It would be lovely if every country and every player contributed data to one site, but currently the data is based on around 930 players, which means somewhere between 50-100 groups, with the majority being British or Australian.<br /><br />If you have some collected data on the US tournaments I'd love to see them though, because as you've said a few times: more data equals more reliable results. I never thought about Hardcore tournaments being included in the statistics, but that could explain the high number of Legion wins.Lamoronhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05679343892043130513noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1997098707071687242.post-75633337204582850862012-01-28T19:22:26.534+01:002012-01-28T19:22:26.534+01:00Well I know that for 40k the metas are very differ...Well I know that for 40k the metas are very different for game systems like 40k and Fantasy. For example, during the Storm of Magic campaign, the Wood Elves and Vampire Counts were towards the top of the list in the UK/Europe but were near the bottom in the US. You'd be surprised at the kinds of differences can come about just from army popularity, let alone playstyle. I know that my particular meta favors Cryx, Circle, and Menoth, for example, but I know that's not the case in other parts of the country where Khador and Cygnar are king, for example.<br /><br />I don't know exactly what kind of impact the region will have (if any), I just worry that the data are not representative of the tournament scene in general. Also, it depends upon the scale, as Masters Tournaments are more challenging than your normal Steam Roller tournaments (requiring qualifiers and a certain number of players). For example, at Lock and Load this year, first and second place both went to Skorne players. Also, the Hardcore format will result in different statistics as well, and Rankings HQ does not really differentiate the quality of the tournament, only the quantity of wins at said tournaments.whitestar333https://www.blogger.com/profile/03994111356537046417noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1997098707071687242.post-72381808463982463542012-01-28T19:03:03.600+01:002012-01-28T19:03:03.600+01:00I don't think the US players are radically dif...I don't think the US players are radically different from the UK players (or any other players for that matter). I doubt you could really tell UK/US games apart, so I don't think that invalidates the data at all.<br /><br />I don't think Legion is overpowered either. I think Legion is a faction with plenty of tricks (like Cryx) and the ability to shrug of a few mistakes (like Khador and Trollbloods), which makes it a very good tournament faction.<br /><br />There's also the very real possibility that Wrath & Domination will change this balance, and I'm very much looking forward to next years data. I'm working on getting the danish community to join up at Rankings, since more data = more accurate data.Lamoronhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05679343892043130513noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1997098707071687242.post-77338151820115956612012-01-28T17:21:43.806+01:002012-01-28T17:21:43.806+01:00To be fair, the results depend on those who report...To be fair, the results depend on those who report them. For example, according to that site, there are more UK players of WM/H than there are in the US - clearly a fallacy. If this site was universally used, then I'd say that your argument would have more merit.<br /><br />That said, I don't think that Cryx are broken or overpowered, but neither do I think that Legion is either. I think that you have a really small sample site and it's unevenly weighted by country.whitestar333https://www.blogger.com/profile/03994111356537046417noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1997098707071687242.post-11728039015108963172012-01-28T15:12:36.790+01:002012-01-28T15:12:36.790+01:00Thank YOU!Thank YOU!Tèarionhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03563279909752525827noreply@blogger.com
