TOTAL WIN LOSS TREND

Spoiler





The blue line is the trend. So if I won a game I got +1, if I lost a game I got -1. The red rectangles are the periods where I was playing in the group queue. My total win/loss ratio is 1.35.

GROUP QUEUE WIN LOSS TREND

Spoiler





No surprise here. My win rate skyrockets in the group queue to 3.05 W/L. For those who don't know, I play for QQ Mercs. Aside from the occasional match against the SJR/EMP no-lube rapetrain, we usually play pretty well together.

SOLO QUEUE WIN LOSS TREND

Spoiler





Honestly, I was not expecting it to be so even. 89 wins, 88 losses puts me almost exactly at a 1.0 W/L in the solo queue. I attribute the +0.01 above average to clearly show that hunchbacks are OP.

WIN LOSS RATIO BREAK DOWN

Spoiler





There has been a lot of discussion going on about wins and losses, both in the group queue and solo queue. One thing I like to do to better track my own information is to save all my end of round screens.I decided to go through my last 250 medium class games (HBK-4J) and do a break down of how I am doing not just overall, but in both the solo and group queue. Just for the record, I am almost exclusively a medium pilot so going into this I probably had a pretty established Medium Elo.---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------So here is an important question that is often debated on the forum. Was I unfairly punished in the solo queue because of my high W/L ratio in the group queue?Sort of. I'm sorry if this next graph is a little dense, but I broke down Win/Loss Ratio between Group and Solo sessions. Green lines pointingfrom green boxes are my solo play sessions. Red lines pointingare my group queue play sessions. Red text is negative w/l ratio, green text is positive.-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------It seems that toward the end when I started playing more group queue, I started losing more than winning in the solo queue. However, the w/l ratio was rather gentle. It was usually just 1-2 game difference.So there you have it. Matchmaker seems to do an admirable job in the solo queue, but struggles in the group queue. People who win a lot in the group queue seem to get punished for it in the solo queue, but it's not nearly as bad as people think.
