I agree, DH decks are so strong and brain dead. Ive made a freeze rainbow Deathknight deck and i still lose against them 80% of the time. Blizz needs to seriously nerf this.
Ugh. Ye olde worthless, misleading HSR class chart.
If that chart wasn’t completely full of excrement, then it would look something more like this:
Class
Winrate
Demon Hunter
54.97%
Hunter
52.75%
Warlock
50.64%
Warrior
50.06%
Death Knight
49.09%
Priest
48.38%
Rogue
47.83%
Mage
46.71%
Paladin
46.53%
Shaman
46.01%
Druid
45.75%
Here’s how my calculations are different:
Instead of using Gold through Bronze, I used Diamond through Legend.
HSR only counts the games from the side of the person who has HSR’s tracker installed. So if tracker guy is playing Hunter and not tracker guy is playing DH, and DH wins, HSR counts that as a loss for Hunter but does not count that as a win for DH. People who install trackers tend to play better, and win more, than people who don’t install trackers, so HSR exaggerates winrates up. I made an attempt to normalize for this, although I will admit it wasn’t “pure” so could still be off a little.
Demon Hunter is still OP and all, the crappy way that HSR calculates stats can’t get around that fact, but you still shouldn’t ever trust their class winrate summary, ever. Wait for the Vicious Syndicate reports if you want accurate stats and dubious commentary.
Also Shaman has a Tier 2 deck currently, some might argue Tier 1, and the only reason Shaman is second from bottom is because a lot of Shamans out there playing Tier 4 meme decks bringing down the class average. There’s really no great way for even an honest class winrate chart to not be misleading, because it is including all the behavior of absolute clown players. Shaman is at least 6th best class or better in reality (and Priest is better than DK, for similar reasons although not quite as extreme).
TL;DR: All class winrate charts are bad and HSR’s is extra bad.
I mean, it is a discussion board, I don’t think that there’s a hard data requirement. I think you talking about your personal experience is fair game. What I take offense to is you calling crap “data.”
Ok, so you made an assumption based on only one observation “his post count”, and it looks like you now consider that to be a fact that we need to learn from you, interesting. Almost as if you rush to a conclusion based on limited data.
Seems you have to go … “outside” for a bit ( aka to …other games forums ) , if you don’t know that if a guy has this many posts on a forum game, then he is 110% a whiteknight no matter what.
I have read his posts for quite some time since he is frequently posting in many threads. My conclusion is that he is not acting as a white knight. I did neither see him white knighting in this thread. What i saw was him putting in argument based on different oppinion from yours on the WR numbers. And argue your data you based your numbers on was faulty. Why this became quite comedical when we now see how little information you need to come to a conclusion that you seem to consider facts.
