THE META REPORT NAME IS TOO LONG, TOO DAMN LONG (n°21)

Patch 2.14 - Week 1 - Rise of the Sion supremacy

Data

Note: As the current sample size is terrible to estimate WR of MU, the MU section is not present in this report. The data is being updated in the MU dedicated page but there the data will continue to be updated being an a better picture overall.

Number of (Ranked) matches analyzed 5448 or 10896 games.

Last Update: 2021-09-01 18:54

Reminding that while I may collect the ‘list of all games-id’ played in a certain timeframe I can only collect all their metadata several hours later. So after the first release the numbers may be updated later during the week, be it for the sake of updating or modifying some code.

Play Rate

The Gini Index is a measure of heterogeneity so, in this case and in simpler terms, how much the play rates are similar. The Index goes (when normalized like here) in [0,1] and it’s equal to 1 when there’s a single value with 100% play rate or 0 when all play rates are equal. Of course a Gini Index of 1 needs to be avoided but it’s not like the aim should be 0. As said, it’s just to add some additional tools.

Looking at this week results it’s clear most of these decks can be grouped as ‘Plunder’ decks. I’m working on it, but I’m still far from reaching a quality of the results that satisfy me.

LoR-Meta Index (LMI)

The LMI

LMI - Early Theory

³ is an Index I developed to measure the performance of decks in the metagame. For those who are familiar with basic statistical concept I wrote a document to explain the theory behind it: , it’s very similar to vicioussyndicate (vS) Meta Score from their data reaper report. The score of each deck is not just their “strength”, it takes in consideration both play rates and win rates that’s why I prefer to say it measure the “performance”. The values range from 0 to 100 and the higher the value, the higher is the performance.
