Does anyone know if there are numbers out there in terms of rating distribution in terms of 2v2, 3v3 and RBGs?
Like in Overwatch, we know that the top ~14% of players are rated 3k+, what does the distribution for arenas look like?
arenamate?
Hmmm if you mean like currently? you can do the math if you’re really interested
Go to the ladder and get the current R1 cutoffs (example horde right now is 2649 or something)
Then go filter horde and find what spot on the ladder is 2649
it’s 118 right now i believe meaning the top 0.1%(r1s value) ends at 118
then add a few 0s to figure out what 100% of the horde population is, do it again for alliance via their cutoff add the total together
then find whatever %s you want out of the total and match it up with the rating that spot on the ladder is
i can say from rough historical data, bfa s1 gladiator was about 2.5-3% iirc
bfa s2 gladiator was closer to 1%
bfa s3 gladiator will probably also be closer to 1%
legion titles were 0.5% and typically (s2-6) landed between 2650-2700 with demonic(s7) being much higher than usual at 274x and vindictive(s1) being much lower than usual at like 255x
legion duelist was 3%? and it was typically 2100-2200 cutoff
on a sidenote i often used to hear lower ranked players say things like “well top 10% is actually INSANE, top 10% in LoL is like 3mill player value!1!1111”
which is super wrong, 90% of the 150-200k typical total pvp ladder participation is padded by players that q 10 total games be it for the initial weapon cap on fresh chars, or because someone in their guild wanted to try it, or for conflict and strife r3 ect
probably barely 10% of the 150k are players that actually consistently q arenas/push rating so if you’re being honest top 10% of overall is probably barely top 80% of the actual consistent ladder
just food4thought

In BFA season 1 exactly 1.08% of the ladder was at or over 2400 at the end of the season, not 2.5 to 3%. (334 R1 spots = 334,000 ladder players. Total of 3602 players at or above 2400 rating. 3602 out of 334,000 = 1.078%)
Currently there are around 91 rank 1 slots and therefore around 91,000 total players in the ladder.
Based off the old cutoff system there would be 455 glad spots which would put the cutoff at 2416.
There are 512 players at or above 2400 rating currently which is 0.56%.
There will likely be significant inflation for the r1 cutoff rating, but since people don’t have to compete for regular glad, the number of players over 2400 won’t increase as much as in prior expansions.

how did you come up with this?
because the current cut offs (probably not updated) dont reflect that at all
it looks like there’s 118 horde r1 slots and 69 alliance r1 slots
which is double the seemingly random 91 you came up with?
also shoutout to the inc dreadonlyglads coming to rally that big 1% post behind eddyv wheres nuba

R1 cutoff for Alliance 2710 = 32 spots
R1 cutoff for Horde 2649 = 59 spots
32 + 59 = 91
91 x 1,000 = 91, 000 (since R1 is the top 0.1% o the ladder, there is a single R1 spot for every 1,000 players on the ladder)

nah ur right i forgot blizzards website is sh*t
doesn’t edit spot on the ladder 118 horde is actually 59th horde 118 overall even filtered by horde
Indeed. I looked directly at the ladder also and the 32nd spot on the alliance side shows “69” next to it meaning they are in the 69th place overall, even when you filter for alliance.
Blizzard is still too lazy to update their website or make it more user friendly.
Sadly you still have to go to outside websites to make much sense of their own ladder.
Pathetic.
Rmx 70%, destro/x 20%, dh or dk cleave 9%, other 1%.
Rating=comp so the above should give you an idea.
