@ShiFT_ unc you didn’t need to spend all that money

[degree° @degreegory]

@iGargleCement a more influential bias and over representation comes from the data being collected from only players that interact with the website which is a subset of the player base, not necessarily from inactive or low rank players being included. that’s barely even an educated guess atp

[degree° @degreegory]

@iGargleCement u could be right or wrong but we cant safely make that assumption or consider data negligible. some people may play ranked for a bit, not enjoy it, and go back to wildcard. we are abstracted from this skill lvl but they exist. this is why respawn uses mmr matchmaking even in pubs

@Dorkstrict useful links/sources:

@Dorkstrict this is skewed data and isnt a full display of the player base. it represents players that use those sites. all 3rd party tracker data is skewed bc casuals dont care to look up their stats and trackers dont have access to all player data vs respawn dev’s data (2 pics). make a vid

[degree° @degreegory]

@iGargleCement @Dorkstrict my main point is that these external api are inaccurate, so should not be held as a single source of truth. these sites only use data from ppl that use them, fanatics like us who get on twitter and overly care about the game.

[degree° @degreegory]

@iGargleCement @Dorkstrict + respawn moved to mmr to assign initial season rank so stale accounts may be in higher ranks too. also cant expect an even normal distribution, bc apex isnt a 1 team vs 1 team game it’s a br with different play styles that assume there is a 5% (1/20) chance of winning.

[degree° @degreegory]

@iGargleCement @Dorkstrict How can 20% of players be in a rank with zero entry cost?

um, these players likely do not play ranked.

but this data is definitely more reliable that “self-reported” data. respawn is able to paint a larger picture rather than a subset.

[degree° @degreegory]

@Apex_100MIRUi7 this data is skewed by the users in their database, not the overall player base.
