50 games were played in Panchira:
Raw data:
Observations:
- For the most part, this is similar to the tier 8 HT MM data
- The first 25 games started out with 75% 3:5:7 bottom tier. And then the next 25 battles balanced it out. This shows that 50 battles is the minimum to get accurate tier data with reasonable variance. Also shows the 20-battle rule in action.
- 5:10 MM top tier is once again rare. This time 0 battles appeared. Same tier is rare also. 3:5:7 MM bottom tier once again dominates at >50%
- This time there is way more 3:5:7 top tier at 16%. Unfortunately, winrate when top tier? 25% (2 out of 8)
- Yea, this time I'm keeping track of wins also
- I'm also keeping track of the thing labelled as "im" in the raw data
- "im" is short for "impossible", this denotes battles which are either impossible to win or impossible to lose, regardless of how good or how bad the player was
- Question mark behind the "im" means I'm not sure if I would have mattered.
- 6 question marks behind "im" means Ace Tanker on a defeat. I'm not sure how to consider these - I could have won if I played just a tiny bit better (or if I had grey-area mods like zoomout mod), some of it was lost due to bad RNG or the accumulation of a few bad RNGs. On the other hand this is already way beyond how much a single player is supposed to be able to contribute, and would have required lots of lucky RNGs. I can put it this way - If I did this much and still can't win, this battle can be considered one of those that are impossible to win.
- 10 battles (20%) were obvious that my gameplay affected the outcome
- 23 battles (46%) were blatantly impossible to win
- 4 battles (8%) were impossible to lose
- 13 battles (26%) were unsure. I might be overestimating my contribution to the wins
- For the most part, the 40-40-20 rule remains somewhat accurate. 50 battles results in high uncertainty due to 20-battle rule.
- A large majority of "im" battles ended up as losses (23 losses vs 4 wins)
- Even if we count all "im?" battles as "im" wins, the ratio is still 23 vs 15
- There seems to be no clear pattern of "im" vs MM tiering. Although this could be due to the tank - Pantera has no armor and so cannot push when top tier. But this can be due to small number of battles too - Most of the 357 top tier losses were blatant landslides, one even had a 357 top tier camping at base teamkilling arty.
- Winrate for 50 battles = 50%, which is around what I expect for this unfortunate piece of junk. Even though I have 2 Ace Tankers within this 50 battles.
