Also, the automatch stats that were posted are dissected into player levels, so they also show just the win ratios of the best players - Lie
auto-selection can connect players of completely different levels and rank. Sometimes the difference is very big.
Uhm yes, but all factions share that phenomenon, and yet USF have one of the highest automatch win ratios for the highest level players out of all of them across all modes. Or do you think USF randomly gets more stomp matches than other factions for no reason?
This suggests that the ufs are big problems, because they are effective only on certain maps, and completely useless on others.
No it does not, it suggests only that USF is less effective than the other two factions only on certain maps (or to be precise, on the most common tournament maps), which does not suggest that they are bad, but only that the others are more efficient in those environments.
We get the largest patches after analyzing the tournaments, so stop lying and doing random auto-selection with noobs is better than tournament statistics.
Actually, I am on the community balance team, and I can tell you tournament stats are generally not leading (only suggestive at best) when making balance decisions. The only reason tournament stats were used was because they were the only stats (evidence) available to back up balance sentiments, but now we have the automatch stats that (even if kind of outdated already) are much more representative in my opinion.
