How do solo wins and friendly games affect stats?

[Infi220]

I'm confused about my stats in games that I played solo or in a friendly mode. It seems like wins in friendly games give only half the % wins. For example: I played Obsession in the 2P friendly mode and I won, but in the stats it shows: 0 (+1) Games • 0 Victories • 50% wins.

Solo games are even worse because wins count as losses (!). They are ignored in the # of victories but they lower my overall % wins. For example: I played Planet Unknown twice and I won both times (once solo and once competitive), but stats show: 1 (+1) Games • 1 Victories • 50% wins.

I also played Ark nova twice competitive and 4x solo, I won 1 competitive and 2x solo, so I won half of the games, but the stats show: 2 (+4) Games • 1 Victories • 17% wins . The % win ratio is wrong here no matter how you look at it. Is this math intentional or a bug? Solo wins should count as wins, or should be ignored altogether.

Basically yes, your solo games are counted as games played, but not as games won, so your win percentage will be lower than it "should be".

There is a thread on this same topic from only a few days ago: https://boardgamearena.com/forum/viewtopic.php?t=41381

Thanks for the reply and links. I read that thread and I read the outdated FAQ (which talks about "hits") but they don't really answer my questions: why solo wins lower the % win ratio? Shouldn't solo wins be ignored altogether, since they are ignored in the # of victories? And why 2P friendly games count as half the win? Are these formulas intentional? The math seems very strange.

Yes, of course the solo wins and games should not be included. I'm with you on this one; I have no idea why BGA does this. (I'm the one who crated that other thread linked in this post.)

My guess is someone goofed when it was initially coded, and they decided it's not worth fixing.
