US Armory Stats - 1st Jun 2008

** UPDATED 4th JUNE **
US Armory stats for 1st June follow, in addition I have now posted a comparison chart for each bracket, however while the main chart goes to 2400+(*) I have capped the comparison chart at 2300+ as things get a bit silly above that due to the small sample size, e.g. gains of over 700% in 2v2 for rogues at 2400+.

As you can see in the comparison charts things are shaking up a bit, especially in 2v2 and 3v3 where the large gains made by Rogues (and the popularity of double melee) has had a substantial impact on warlocks who continue to fall, actually below the target levels in 3v3 and 5v5, and just inside the target zone in 2v2.

Mages have also seen substantial gains in 2v2 and 3v3 (as a result of buffs, the increase in rogues, more people playing healer+ Mage or all 3?), but these gains have had only a small impact on their lackluster performance in 2v2.

Hunters continue to do poorly in all 3 brackets, a trend which has me somewhat baffled, a druid+hunter combination is not to be laughed at. (are all the druids taken by the warriors/rogues?)

In more general terms, in 3v3 the class performance is relatively unchanged until you get 2100+ where rogues, mages and Shamans see a boost.

5v5 continues a general trend of rogue and mage gains, and a fall for warlocks. The changes are less pronounced than the other brackets however and this may be in part because fewer people are as bothered about 5v5.

Enough of my waffling, the charts are pasted below.

(* I have included 2400+ as the top-end because while the sample size is still small, there are between 120 (3v3) and 232 (2v2) people with a PR at or above this rating and I decided this warranted inclusion for now)

2v2




3v3





5v5

i am a bit confused by the graph. What is the % values of? % of expected class participation?

Unknown said...

From one of the older posts:

I have changed the chart to use a % similar to the data Kalgan posted, with 100% being the balance ideal (11.1% representation).

Example: If rogues were at 200%, then 22.2% of the players at that rating would be rogues.

I love how paladins are consistantly at the bottom of the charts...

Good stuff. By the way, what do the numbers in the April 9th vs June 1st chart mean? Like the Mage number at 2300; 100.3.

Anonymous said...

Doh, is it just percentages? :P

Unknown said...

the % in the comparison chart is the % gain in representation between the current and the previous stats, e.g. if Mages went from 10 to 15 this would be 50%.

Hi Vhairi -

"are all the druids taken by the warriors/rogues?"

To a large degree that's precisely what I've found happening. I've asked arrouind our server and the vast majority of restos have showed a marked preference for a melee partner in 2v2's.

Maybe more hunters should team with Moonkins...that has to be it!

Or go survival and pray? :)

I play with a shaman in arenas and i find it very disappointing. when healing its ok besides the no hots, or any special AoE besides chain heal (doesnt work well when they arent RIGHT next to each other). And when DPSing its even moer diappointing. We have some big damage if we are ignored. (elemental shaman) If we get hit unlike a mage we cant instant cast besides every 5seconds and rogues and other class just break free from any slowing effect. And then we have no group buffs..besides totems but the enemy team just rips the totems apart. and lastly we have no fear..stuns..CC's of any kind. Imo shamans are the most nerfed pvp class in the game. (paladins are bad too...we are very close in being the worst class for pvp)

"I love how paladins are consistantly at the bottom of the charts..."

Not quite as bad as hunters!

Anonymous said...

I don't understand why the hunter problems baffle anyone.

Hunters burst dps is poor and they have no way to heal themselves and still suffer from a deadzone and weak/difficult to use cc abilities.

Great blog as usual, any chance a season 4 post is on the way?

It'll be interesting to see how Season 4 is looking once everything has settled down, as it is my belief that the changes from previous season don't show their true colours until after the start of a new season when the slate is wiped clean.

There's no real reason for a Druid to pick up a Hunter for 2s. They're statistically more successful with a number of other classes, all of which also generally take less time to play a game than Hunter/Druid which can drag on for a long, long time.

The Druid is also, I would say, a more significant part of the team in Druid/Hunter than, for example, Druid/Rogue. Hunters need Druids to keep people off them, or they will die. It's that simple; Hunters have not one single "oh shit" skill or talent and pathetic CC outside of Frost Trap.

Excellent Hunters like Cherez, Megatf, and others, they're a statistical anomaly. They show that it is possible to get far, obviously, but everything else shows you that it is a harder task getting to any random rating you choose with a Hunter than with most other classes. The community likes to think the Hunter class is made up of retards, and I'm not saying there's not a sizeable part of the players that are just that, but if Hunters were as potentially dangerous and easily playable that many suggest ("L2P NOOBS"), Cherez wouldn't be the only semi-constant fixture on the scene when it comes to arena Hunters in tournaments.

They've done very well a number of times including completely raping Frag D in the latest tournament, and if it was an easily duplicated feat, many more teams would do it. It is just that simple. Look at all the Rogues and Druids in these tournaments. People go for the safe, easy ways to get places. Hunters are not a candidate for that, clearly, as demonstrated by them.
