PT23 Suggestion: Splits for Tournament Data

professor ape · 11-02-2021, 05:31 PM

As a suggestion for PT23, it would be great to be able to report on L/R split data in tournaments. Other splits would be nice as well but being able to track platoon splits would be very helpful for analysis.

I am sure a handful of people would enjoy this, but if the amount of work needed to implement is huge then it should be very low priority. Mind you, I think I might have made this suggestion myself last year, but no longer view it as terribly important because it is not necessary to have this information to generate 20+ packs per day and how many packs do you need?

To your question of how many packs we need, the answer is always “More”.

I don’t pretend to understand the complexities of coding the game and you are correct that there are many higher priorities. From the outside it seems that this shouldn’t be a big ask because applying splits is already available on the Sortable Stats elsewhere. It is cruel that the options for the various splits still appear in the drop downs for the tournament stats, but they just don’t work.

Could just be a data size issue. Data including splits is 3X the data without splits, and multiplied by an almost infinite number of tournaments, that's substantial. People want their tourneys to load fast and for the servers to be running smoothly as well. Splits for past seasons are not preserved in the league data either.

I would absolutely prefer to have that data, but not at the expense of the servers (if that's indeed what's happening...this is just a guess on my part).

Fair point if that’s the way it works. I will say that if the splits are not available in tournaments then it would be good to remove the Splits drop down to avoid confusion.

How about a "only cards with missions" checkbox on the AH?

When you check on a mission, all the available cards for that mission in the AH are displayed in a format similar to the AH. So you can check to see which remaining silver that you need is cheapest, for example.
