On drustvar you can see ladder activity related to brackets and how many games are played. Is there a site that breaks it down even further and puts rating ranges as well?
So it would be like:
1500-1799
1800-2099
2100-2399
And so on.
I’d be extremely interested to see where the majority of current games played are at.
Its kind of possible… but there are no match IDs meaning you cant find out who’s played in what matches so the counts are only going to be an approximation… as far as I know the PVP leaderboard updates every 2-3 hours as well.
I got the data at 11am this morning and again at 1 hr ago and computed the difference in matches played for all players over the leaderboard(3162 toons have a difference on the whole leaderboard).
I can tell you as well the most that someone played was 22 matches(disc priest) in that time, with the top 8 matches played in that time being all healers. The highest DPS was a frost DK who played 11 matches(66 rounds)…
Here is what I can get for you for those brackets since the last 2 updates:
| rating bracket | ~full matches played |
|---|---|
| 0-1500 | 341 |
| 1500-1800 | 1186 |
| 1800-2100 | 2509 |
| 2100-2400 | 1969 |
| 2400-2700 | 738 |
| 2700-3000 | 181 |
| total | 6924 |
as for matches by spec:
| name | ~total full matches by spec |
|---|---|
| shuffle-paladin-holy | 415 |
| shuffle-warrior-arms | 388 |
| shuffle-priest-discipline | 355 |

| shuffle-paladin-retribution | 314 |
| shuffle-shaman-restoration | 304 |
| shuffle-priest-holy | 291 |
| shuffle-demonhunter-havoc | 268 |
| shuffle-mage-frost | 267 |
| shuffle-priest-shadow | 255 |
| shuffle-deathknight-frost | 213 |

| shuffle-shaman-elemental | 175 |
| shuffle-druid-feral | 163 |
| shuffle-mage-arcane | 160 |
| shuffle-warlock-demonology | 160 |
| shuffle-evoker-devastation | 136 |
| shuffle-shaman-enhancement | 125 |
| shuffle-warrior-fury | 113 |
| shuffle-hunter-survival | 82 |
| shuffle-mage-fire | 48 |
| shuffle-rogue-outlaw | 34 |
| shuffle-evoker-augmentation | 32 |
| shuffle-demonhunter-vengeance | 12 |
| shuffle-warrior-protection | 8 |
| shuffle-druid-guardian | 7 |
| shuffle-monk-brewmaster | 6 |
| shuffle-paladin-protection | 4 |
| shuffle-deathknight-blood | 2 |
| total | 6906 |
The totals probably dont add up due to rounding(to get matches I divided by 6) but there are matches that would have had leavers (played 1,2,4 rounds etc…)
Hope that answers your question.
That’s awesome!
Even this late in the season and off peak hours, the majority of the games played are sub 2100…
And if what everyone keeps saying is correct, that starting mmr is around the 1950ish mark, it would explain why that bracket has the highest participation.
Out of curiosity, where do you pull this data from? It would be neat to check it during weekends/holidays/school vacation times and just see things.
blizzard API provides the goods, just be aware they are probably alot more games below 1500 since its top 5000 per spec…
How do you get the information from that though? I’m guessing it’s not a link on their website… Forgive my ignorance, I’m not a web page/programming/software guy.
you need an account, clientID and secret so you can pull the data from https://develop.battle.net/documentation
To answer this question I used data from https://develop.battle.net/documentation/world-of-warcraft/game-data-apis
Just search for “/data/wow/pvp-season/{pvpSeasonId}/pvp-leaderboard/{pvpBracket}” on the page.
data is in json format, which you need to know a language to convert into csv or excel format.
O.o…that is far to complicated for me haha. I was hoping there was a website that already had this information.
Thank you for your time and the data, very fascinating stuff, and highly appreciated.
Tumble digging deep searching for another excuse on why he can’t gain rating
Are you crashing out…How you managed to come to that conclusion is wild.
Brother, you’re a 2400 shuffle player, you are literally a nobody. You aren’t gaining rating either. Can you stop pretending like you’re any better . You’re about 3 good lobbies higher than me, and the people you are trying to impress literally play a different version of pvp than you and I.
Hmm ironic, I’ll wait for you to quote where I flashed an ego on you at. 
crash out harder I love it
Ahh yes the classic “I know you are but what am I”…you, me, bike rack, 3pm.
You constantly whine on here about how your stuck rival 2 because of boosters/win traders/cheaters. I was just quoting your own words little guy. The difference between you and I is I just play and accept that my rating is a reflection of my skill level. Try it sometime
I’ve never complained that’s why I’m rival. I’ve admitted openly that my rating is a reflection of my ability.
Didn’t realize I was messing with true high t big dog, forgive me…
