Season 5 results:

 

Total # of characters: 20201

 

Class distribution:

        # Chars	%
BH   	2      	0.01
Co/Me	1545	7.65
Gu/Ju	3189	15.79
Gun/Sn	1000	4.95
Sa/So	4030	19.95
Sc/OP	2330	11.53
Se/Ma	1800	8.91
SH/Sin	3947	19.54
VG/PT	2358	11.67

 

The below shows the average ratings of classes with a certain win count minimum: I interpret those with more than 10 wins (etc) to be non-trolls, non-flakes and not those on the wrong faction/server. Rating does give an idea of how a character has performed in terms of win/loss. The first set shows the avg of everyone - that's not terribly useful because most who try ranked do not seem to play more than a few games and never get good enough to measure useful stuff.

The below shows the average ratings of the top percentiles (by rating). There are 41 sages/sorcs in the top 1% of sages/sorcs and the avg rating of those sages/sorcs is 2040, etc..

Avg	1%				3%				                5%				              10%	                 			                  25%

Gu/Ju	1624	32		Gu/Ju	1499	96		Gu/Ju	1444	160		Gu/Ju	1381	319		Gu/Ju	1299	798

 

I'm not showing top 10 lists or top 5 or whatever - you can get those numbers on the current boards very easily and, to me, they are useless because, assuming player ability is a factor, the classes with the highest numbers of players should have an advantage (take the top 5 from a pool of 4000 and the top 5 from a pool of 1000 and the one from the 4k pool is going to win most of the time - top % and averages factor that out a bit).

 

Interesting things going in here, especially with sins and ops. No matter how you slice this Juggs seem to be the worst choice for solo ranked but every ac has reps that have scored decent ratings. When you compare the performance of the best, or the most determined, there are definite disparities which, I think we can all agree, need to be addressed.

 

Disclaimer: I'm not interesting in explaining or arguing the significance/relevance of this stuff to some people that have made up their minds and have cherry picked #s from a handful of characters to support religious doctrines or absolutes. There's no real opinion above and of course there's lots of variables we don't have access to that would help a serious analysis. The above is just what it is for fun and only useful to a point. Also, sorry about the formatting but it's BW's fault;>

Wow, only two bounty hunters queued for ranked the entire season!?!?! THIS IS AN OUTRAGE!! :p

 

P.S. It took me a bit to figure out what was going on with the BH listing. At first I thought that you were grouping the PT and Merc together for some reason and trying to make a claim that both PT and Mercs need a buff, but the numbers didn't make sense if that were the case. I like subtle humor though, so good job. :D
