Standings and Statistics

Here are the final tables from https://ragl.org/ with head-to-head results and strikes taken into account. In Masters this made a difference putting Fazzz above inno since inno received a couple of strikes during the group stage. Mo and anjew split their set 1-1 and neither received a strike, so they finished joint seventh.

Due to the number of signups and rate of forfeits this was one of the seasons with the fewest games. There were still a couple of hundred, so enough to be worth looking at the stats for.

Potentially this could be due to players picking Allies and doing well, or picking Soviets and doing badly, but this season there wasn't an obvious pattern like that. Fazzz, Blackened, inno and Unano all played a similar amount of Allies and Soviets, and the players who did favour a particular faction were spread across the middle of the table. One of the best performing non-Any players was Sigil, who always picked Ukraine and finished joint 2nd.

Perhaps a more accurate way to measure whether Allies or Soviets are stronger is to restrict to just Allies vs Soviets games where both players picked "Any." This shows an even larger bias towards Allies, although it's based on just 28 games this season (and only 18 last season).

Looking at subfactions then Russia seems to have swapped with Ukraine. This season was the first to feature nerfed tesla tanks from BI-4.2, but I doubt they've made Russia so significantly weaker. I'll share some tesla tank graphs later on.

Tech buildings have become slightly more prevalent. We're now seeing radar domes in 77% of games and tech centres in 36%. An individual player is likely to build a dome/TC in 64%/27% of their builds, but I think the graph here is more interesting for spectators.

The win rate for tech buildings has taken a bit of a nose dive which is partly explained by the higher build rate for them.

Two of the maps this season featured neutral kennels, but that didn't seem to affect how frequently kennels were built. The win rate for kennels this season was 48.6%. The win rates for Soviet players who skipped a kennel was 48.4% - identical to the overall win rate for Soviets. A tiny advantage, and much less than the statistical error in these results.

No one felt it was worth building more than two dogs this season (and everyone who built a kennel also built a dog - unlike in some previous seasons).

Another early game option is fake buildings. This season saw a similar total number of fakes to last season, but with players building (on average) more each. Fakes are seen in less than 1% of builds by France players (the average is roughly 0.6 fake buildings per France build).

Before this season there was a lot of talk about whether triple ref builds were too powerful. In the following graph these are contained in the "Other Rx,Rf,Rf" (turquoise) section. There's definitely an increase in popularity, but they are still hardly making a dent in the top three sections, which together represent double ref.

010_BuildOrderPopularityIgnoringKennelandPP.png (57.59 KiB) Viewed 10841 times

In terms of win rate then triple ref is pretty much at 50%.

Recently there was a discussion about the viability of migs in 1v1 matches, so I thought it would be interesting to look through the matches where these were produced from this season. There were only seventeen matches where a mig was queued so I fast forwarded through them all to gather a few stats and impressions about what happened in the matches. Most of this post is just a list of events, but I've summarised it as a table at the end.

First mig: killed 2 harvesters then died.
Second mig killed 2 heavies

inno vs Mo on Champion
First mig produced at 22k vs 5k
First mig: kill 1 harvester then died
Second and third mig: killed 2 harvesters

Mint vs anjew on Elevation
First mig produced at 29k vs 16k
First mig: killed 2 mammoths

inno vs Upps on Darker Woods

Although a mig was queued, this game ended before it was produced.

Nilhall vs Gregory_Mhf on Elevation
First mig produced at 18k vs 21k
First mig: One shot was wasted on a rifle then Hans sent it to reload. It then had two shots countered by a mrj and was sent to reload again. Unfortunately it didn't get to fire again before the end of the game.

TTTPPP vs milkman on malevolence
First mig produced at 18k vs 22k
First mig: died
Second mig: killed 1 harvester then died
Third mig: died

Nilhall vs fiwo on Mini Asymmetric Battle
First mig produced at 23k vs 10k
First mig: died
Second mig: killed 1 harvester
Joined by third mig: killed a v2 and a heavy, then one mig died
The remaining mig was joined by a fourth mig: they kill another v2 and a barracks, then one mig died
The remaining mig: killed a third v2 and then died
Fifth mig: Produced just before the end of the game

TTTPPP vs Nilhall on Island Fight
First mig produced at 31k vs 20k
Two migs were produced and both died without achieving anything

Sigil vs fiwo on malevolence

inno vs Unano on Darker Woods (Playoffs)
First mig produced at 21k vs 23k
First mig: killed one heavy before Unano sniped it on the airfield with a yak

inno vs Unano on Elevation (Playoffs)
First mig produced at 20k vs 15k
First mig: kill 2 harvesters
Joined by a second mig: together they killed two medium tanks
A third mig was produced and then one died
The remaining two migs killed four harvesters and five mediums.
This was the final game of the season, and it featured the highest amount of assets killed by migs. Unano was Allies and stuck without radar tech for most of the game. By the time he managed to produce AA guns then the game was pretty much lost. The bulk of the game was inno on T3 vs Unano on T1.5, so it's not surprising the migs did well. inno did manage to get a vet 2 mig though, which isn't something you see every day!

Gathering all this data up then we can see the money spent on migs is not often recouped. In three of the matches then the migs weren't killed and didn't kill anything.

From the sums at the bottom of that table we can see some players are better off not using migs at all (in particular all three minions players). Even inno, who was the main user of migs this season, was losing on migs before the final playoff game against Unano.

Thx for the Statistics as always!
By the way, can you please check the flamers?
I've seen more and more flamer plays in both Masters and Minions through recent seasons (especially Masters)~

[ORA_CN-Hans]

also...
I know this topic is about ragl but... would you do the same statistics analysis for the CA Tournament?

[TTTPPP]

Hans wanted to see some stats around flamer usage, and I was surprised to find I've not really covered this before.

044_PercentageOfSovietQueueConsistingOfFlamers.png (83.86 KiB) Viewed 6141 times

First up, here is the usage graph showing each season of RAGL. The first three seasons featured far more off-meta play than subsequent seasons, and so it's no surprise to find flamers were very popular. Season 15 shows a spike of flamer usage in the early game - possibly due to flamer drops at this point. However Season 16 has a noticeably higher percentage of flamers throughout all stages of the game than almost all other seasons.

044_RocketFlamerCountsForTopPlayerswhenSovietS16.png (30.97 KiB) Viewed 6141 times

Looking at some of the top players we can see that Blackened and Unano barely use flamers when they are Soviets. Fazzz will usually include a few, and inno likes to queue a significant number - roughly a 9:1 ratio of rockets to flamers. It turns out that inno had the fourth highest rocket:rifle ratio when playing as Soviets:

Code: Select all

Other than inno then the other top users are all from Minions - four of the top five finishers. This is what their graphs look like:

044_RocketFlamerCountsForTopUserswhenSovietS16.png (32.42 KiB) Viewed 6141 times

Sigil seems to include a fixed number, roughly 10 flamers, in each build. Hulk and TTTPPP build with a roughly constant ratio - about 4:2 (2:1) and 5:2 respectively. Hans is a constant user, but his graph is all over the place, choosing some games to queue more flamers than rockets, and others to barely include any.

Hans also asked about the CA tournament, but I would need something other than the replay files (or to fix the replay parser), since they are multiqueue and the format is different.

[ORA_CN-Hans]

Thx for the Statistics!
Well, I've never expected that there's such a huge spike in S16!
I take the flamer as an advanced rifleman or a short-range arty. It can damage enemy infantries around the tanks they are shooting at. Flamers also have more anti-wood damage output than riflemen. Their burst-damage and AoE deal mental damage as well.
And yeah, I do believe that flamer may be a popular pick in future since Master players are trying to put this unit into practice.

I hope we can have some CA Statistics in future!
