Quick question about SUCCES %

Post by MikaelWolfYOUTUBE »

When you look at the stats of someone: let's say Zoras for exemple it says: 550 games and 309 wins, success 105%.
Why the success is at 105% and not 56,18% ?
At first I told myself: maybe every single game that you don't lose points it's a success, but even so... 105% wouldn't be possible.
Anyone knows the answer ? :)

If you only played 4 player games and you won 1 in 4 games, you would get 50% success rate, equivalent to winning 1/2 games in a 2 player game.
However if you won all 2/4 games you would be on 100%, 3/4 then 150% and 4/4 then 200%.

success is number 'hits' divided by number games played.

You get hits when you win a game, and number of hits is number of players in the game divided by 2. (so 1 hit for winning a 2p game, 1.5 for 3p, 2 for 4p...etc)

So for a two player game success rate is win percentage. If you play only 4 player games then success rate is double win percentage. So if you play all 4p games and always win you'd have a 200% success rate. If you win 1/2 of all 4p games then you are 100%, if you win 25% of all 4p games then you'd be 50%. So 50% is still an average success rate regardless of player count.
