Nut Shot's Historical Player Rankings

by **Nut Shot Scott** on Fri Feb 26, 2021 1:09 pm

There's another thread for the active player rankings. This is for historical player rankings. Like the current season, these are more of a power ranking that takes into account the data that is available. Win %, Home Wins, Away Wins, Home Losses, Dubs/Trips/Quads Wins and a luck factor have been calculated. If you look at the bottom tabs of the below Google Sheet, you'll see an All Time List that has everyone who completed a season along with their best finishes in some key categories as well as an All Time Top 10 List for score, per game score and win %.

Completed Seasons:

CL9
CL10
CL11

Interesting.

I always thought that league favored specialists more than cup does, but maybe its not so skewed.

I don’t think so, I think it’s pretty easy to send maps that you have specialists on for each one with 8 game sets so if you play away maps you face a specialist. In a 24,27, or 30 map exchange it’s more difficult. I know for us if we have a specialist on a map they take it, but if we don’t I usually get drafted (I’m above 55% away games).

It’s possible that my experience is not what most people experience though.

My little system attempts to reward the all around player - away wins are very valuable and home losses sting - so if you play a balanced schedule and win, you'll be ranked high. If you only play home games as a map/settings specialist, you might win 75% of them but it will hurt you in the scoring due to the lack of variety. So I tried to kind of make it rather difficult for a specialist to be rewarded for specializing.

how is it more difficult? you're still going to use 99% the same maps in the League as you do in a regular war so at least from a home map perspective, you'll play all the same specialist maps as usual minus 1 or 2 if you know don't favour your team over the opposing clan's on that particular map. same for away games, it's rare a clan doesn't have a team for every map these days.

So are you hurt if you don’t take home maps and only do aways and do better then expected?

That would depend upon on how you expect to fair on a home map. The real issue would be that you're not playing half the games. Tough to compete score-wise in these rankings with a player who plays 15-20 more games than you and plays halfway decent.

There is precedent for doing the rankings to get a medal after certain length of time keeping it up / level of regular effort.

I’m not willing to publicly discuss all of the details and facts supporting what I am saying so I’ll just concede the point.
