Hello everyone,
I just stumbled upon this thread while specifically searching for discussions about Tash-Kalar statistics. This topic is very interesting to me and could be beneficial for those looking to improve their game.
With 8 years of experience in development, including over four years in data science and analysis, I believe I can provide significant insights if I can access the data. I am very interested in this topic and am willing to share my thoughts, findings, numbers, and graphical visualizations with the community if it's possible to access the data.
I think there could be really interesting discoveries hidden within the raw data that can enhance our gameplay. The native statistics from BGA are quite poor. Quinarbre has provided some new insights, but I believe there is much more to be extracted. It would be very interesting to know numbers like:
- Win rates for each pair of factions. It's possible that you will have an advantage choosing a specific faction if you know the faction of your opponent.
- The potential impact of certain cards on win rates.
- Effectiveness of different schools and strategies across game modes.
- Expected win percentage based on Elo difference.
- Identification of which card combinations are most frequently used together, revealing popular strategies or synergies.
Additionally, we can categorize the results by game modes (high form, deathmatch, etc.), player Elo strength, game type (play, arena, tournament) and (real-time, turn-based), player count.
We can also track if numbers change over time. Moreover, I think the games need to be filtered based on the game termination (e.g., some games are terminated by time) and potentially other impoortant filters can be found.
Depending on what data is in the database, there might be more valuable information that can be extracted.
@quinarbre, I believe it is possible to transform the data, accounting for the takebacks to make the analysis much easier. I think I can take on that challenge.
What do you think?
