How do tier one esports teams analyse competitive, scrim, and SoloQ data to make informed decisions about the game?

Now I've left FlyQuest, I've put together a long form article showing screenshots of the application we built, and some of my thoughts alongside it.

Link below.

@JackJGaming Have we tried seeing if an LLM can give us player power rankings yet?

@jasondoesstuff @wesbos @syntaxfm Please check your DMs :)

@Dom_Sacco @RLewisReports Did make me laugh when @TheUKETC was established to prevent this kind of behaviour. Then one of the founding members was accused of not paying players 6 months later and disappeared into the ether.

Kind of sums up the entire UK scene to be honest.

@JackJGaming @RiotGamesDevRel Good to know some things never change

[sam hine @samhine]

@Croaa21 @Dragdar_ must be a bug

[sam hine @samhine]

@tragedyezreal @Dragdar_ The name of the website is for a reason!

[sam hine @samhine]

@Dragdar_ Also - champ unlocks used to take AGES and nobody really had an issue.

Think I was playing for 3 or so years before I caught up and could consistently afford new champs - then they introduced shards and it was incredibly easy (too easy).

[sam hine @samhine]

@Dragdar_ Honestly I don't think the people complaining played the game before it was any different.

Hextech chests to me seemed crazy - I definitely avoided spending money since I would eventually end up with a skin on any given champ.

As a result I haven't bought RP since...

@JackJGaming very interested to see FB wr% vs. previous patch

@JackJGaming @GX_League fiiine you've convinced me to turn on the mastery toggle

[sam hine @samhine]

did not expect this 🤔

[sam hine @samhine]

@cthorrez Ah, good catch - updated!

[sam hine @samhine]

hey all, i've made a website based on an article I wrote last year regarding team performance in soloq.

[sam hine @samhine]

this was mostly just to flex my frontend muscles (and get used to next.js, since I've only used base react so far).

this is actually my first time making a user facing application based on the riot API

likely to be some teething issues still, but happy with how it turned out

[sam hine @samhine]

Remember guys if someone ever asks you whether you can assign a single numbered score to a team/player based on in-game stats..

Your answer should be no.
