After a bit of a delay I've finally got around to uploading the final standings to the forum. In Master's then Kav, Happy and Fazzar finished the group stage with a single point separating them.

In Minions then (Not) New pipped Duke Bones by a point. At the bottom of the division then spetsnaz84 scored the highest number of points for an overall last place finisher (second highest overall, with only Hans Nilhall and Milkman's 5 points in Minions S12 beating it).

We also had a very low number of Season Forfeits - with only Season 9 beating it (although in Season 9 then a large number of players were allowed to finish the season without playing all their matches).

In the playoffs then Fazzar and Blackened didn't play each other, but there was no prize money for 3rd place anyway.

The slight upturn in number of games played since last season was probably due to the low number of forfeits.

Despite Allies outperforming Soviets then the best faction was Russia. Ukraine results managed to pull Soviets down overall.

This season saw a slight resurgence in radar usage, with SDs and tech centres staying fairly constant.

Meanwhile there was a plummet in the win rate for tech centres.

002_TechBuildingWinRateWhenOpponentDidntBuildIt.png (43.9 KiB) Viewed 46962 times

This is also shown when only considering games where only one player build the structure. The sample size for the SD line is pretty low - between 5 and 21 games for each point after S07, compared with 67-115 games for radar and 28-78 for tech centres. This explains why the SD line is so spiky.

Very little changed in the build rate of ground defences. Flame towers slightly overtook pillboxes, but both are present in more than 90% of builds (for Soviet/Allies).

When looking through the initial season stats anjew commented:

i think im the only person this season with no SD in per player build

This is true - the per-player build order list only gave build orders that had been performed at least three times by a player, and the only consistent strategy anjew had used this season was light vehicle spam! anjew did often produce an SD, but it appeared later on in his builds than average.

I thought it would be interesting to investigate further when different players built tech buildings.

anjew: 10.7

Here we can see that Tailix was fastest to get an SD down - usually at the 7th or 8th building (these values are zero indexed which means the first PP is building number 0). anjew was indeed the slowest - only putting an SD down as the 11th or 12th building on average.

Mo was relatively normal with his SD placement, but tended to wait far longer than average before moving to radar tech. Meanwhile Moods rushed his dome out three buildings earlier (on average) than any other player.

Moving on to tech centre then we see that (Not) New was fastest, followed by Duke Bones and Moods. At the other end of the spectrum then tux and Mo were very reluctant to build a tech centre. fiwo didn't build a tech centre during the whole season.

I was also interested to see how this compared with other seasons. Here are the top five and bottom five for any player in a RAGL season.

Having an SD down as your 4th or 5th building is certainly not in the current meta, but some players managed to do this throughout a whole season.

anjew's Season 15 performance appears as the 5th slowest SD build across a season. He didn't even do badly with it! However he didn't manage to beat his own Season 14 performance.

Julle S06 had their radar dome out on average faster than their service depot! Averaging two tech structures in the first five buildings is pretty incredible. bete's Season 12 performance has the record due to hardly ever building a dome. Somehow he was forced into it in a single game against spetsnaz.

012_AverageRifleToRocketRatio.png (23.63 KiB) Viewed 46848 times

The overall average rifle-rocket ratio has stayed pretty constant in the last few seasons at roughly two and a half to one.

012_RifleToRocketRatioPopularity.png (38.7 KiB) Viewed 46848 times

Looking a bit closer we can see that 2:1 and 3:1 have continued to rise in popularity while 4:1 / 5:1 have continued to decline in popularity.

012_RifleToRocketRatioWinRate.png (63.18 KiB) Viewed 46848 times

This graph seems to show that a 1:1 rifle-rocket ratio is the best strategy, but this is based on a very small number of games (see the previous graph). As expected there's very little difference in performance between the pervasive ratios - most games will have both a winner and loser using these.

The use of ratios 5.5:1 and above is still seen in 3% of games (so roughly 10 games this season) however the performance of players using this has not been good. Possibly this is games involving cheese when a player has not had time to produce many rockets.

I'm not sure what happened with the shortest game this season - I'll look into that later, because it ended very early! The average game length has been pretty constant since RAGL began.

017_InfantryQueueComposition.png (64.21 KiB) Viewed 46823 times

I find this an interesting graph. It's averaged over all seasons of RAGL, so it doesn't change very much from season to season, however I didn't post it after Season 14, so here's the version after Season 15. The only units that make up more than 1% of the infantry queue are engineers, medics and grens (at the start of the game), flamers midgame and shockies in the late game. As the game goes on then rifles start to make a slightly lower proportion of the queue.

017_RifleRocketCountsForSelectedPlayersS15.png (28.77 KiB) Viewed 46823 times

Here's another fun graph showing the rifle-rocket ratios for the top four players. Each dot represents the rifle-rocket ratio in one game. Kav's roughly playing at 2:1 and Blackened at 3:1. happy is a mix of the two, maybe 2.5:1. Fazzar's graph is really interesting - it looks like maybe he starts at 3:1 and tails off towards 1:1 in longer games.

[TTTPPP]

After playing around with the infantry stats for a while I hit upon the idea of looking at other ratios than rifle-rockets. In the last post we saw that medics, flamers and shockies were the only other units worth investigating after the early game. I compared each with the rocket count to get an idea of how players are mixing them into the queue, and I also split the results into win/loss to see if there were any patterns. I restricted the data to the last five seasons, so that it was possible to recent versions of the balance.

017_RocketMedicCountsS11S15WhenAllies.png (25.59 KiB) Viewed 46811 times

For medics we can see there's basically no difference between the win/loss graph. Possibly the "Won" graph has a bigger bulge, suggesting that mixing in a substantial amount can give an advantage, but it's far from clear to me. We can see a pronounced V shape (in both graphs) showing that players tend to have near to no medics, or about 3:1 (rockets to medics).

017_RocketFlamerCountsS11S15WhenSoviet.png (27.73 KiB) Viewed 46811 times

For flamers then we see all sorts of ratios. The "Lost" graph shows more points at a 1:1 ratio (rockets to flamers), or even having more flamers than rockets.

017_RocketShockieCountsS11S15WhenRussia.png (26.67 KiB) Viewed 46811 times

For shock troopers we see a clear distinction between the two graphs. I was quite excited by this at first, but then I realised this is just showing that players who built a tech centre win more often. The points near the bottom right of each graph presumably show tesla rushes.

[TTTPPP]

Welcome to a new series of stats suggested by Blackened. This time we're going to look through all the faction specials and try to create some graphs which can be compared with each other. First up England and the British spy.

019_PopularityofBritishSpies.png (37.38 KiB) Viewed 46681 times

Building a spy just needs a radar dome (and barracks) but spies appear far less frequently.

019_EnglandWinRateWithWithoutBritishSpies.png (51.18 KiB) Viewed 46681 times

In blue is the win rate when an English player queued a spy and in red is the win rate when an English player did not queue a spy. Taking a weighted average of these two lines gives the overall win rate for England in each season. The final yellow line is the win rate for England when they had the potential to build spies - regardless of whether they actually did or not. It includes all the games in the blue line and some of the games in the red line.

Overall the first graph tells the main story. Players don't think spies are worth building, so the win rate stats are based on a low number of games.

[TTTPPP]

019_PopularityofMGGs.png (30.61 KiB) Viewed 46663 times

If you thought spies were unpopular then check out mobile gap generators! Season 15 was the first season since MGGs were moved to England that nobody queued a single unit. (Probably - Season 6 also featured no MGGs but I think the MGG/phase transport swap happened after this).

019_EnglandWinRateWithWithoutMGGs.png (49.37 KiB) Viewed 46663 times

The win rates for MGGs are a little meaningless, since in five of these seasons they are based on one or zero games.

[TTTPPP]

019_PopularityofFakes.png (26.02 KiB) Viewed 46650 times

Moving on to France and fake buildings. Fakes are the second cheapest faction special after parabombs and have the fewest prerequisites (a conyard). However we only see them in about one in eight French builds.

019_FranceWinRateWithWithoutFakes.png (46.13 KiB) Viewed 46650 times

When we look at the win rate for fakes then recently fakes have a worse win rate than France builds without fakes. You might be tempted to dismiss this result as with the win rates for British spies and MGGs above, but it's actually statistically significant. I'd guess that the cause is due to the top players not building fakes. In some cases it could be due to an over-investment in fakes.

The yellow line in these win rate graphs is meant to be the win rate when the appropriate prerequisites have been built. In the case of fakes there are no prerequisites, so it's simply the win rate for France. Consequently in this graph the yellow line is the weighted average between the other two lines.

[TTTPPP]

019_PopularityofPhaseTanks.png (35.02 KiB) Viewed 46606 times

Phase tanks are built in roughly 30-50% of games where Germany builds a tech centre. This has dropped to the 30% end of the scale in recent seasons. We've seen before that it's uncommon to see them en-masse, but they do get used.

We can also see here that phase tanks were moved to France between Seasons 5 and 6 (and so my earlier statement about MGGs moving to England after Season 6 was wrong).

019_FranceWinRateWithWithoutPhaseTanks.png (52.86 KiB) Viewed 46606 times

The win rates show that France performs better with phase tanks than without, however this is likely due to them being tier three tech. From the yellow and blue lines we can see that French players with a tech centre do roughly as well with and without phase tanks.

Phase tanks went through some fairly major changes in the 20191117 and 20200503 releases, which corresponds to Seasons 8 and 9. These changes weren't isolated, but there was a huge increase in performance of French tech after the S09 changes (phase tank can hold five passengers, cost down, health up, removed production speed changes).

[TTTPPP]

019_PopularityofChronoshift.png (37.66 KiB) Viewed 46592 times

Tech centres appear in about 20% of games, but chronospheres are much less popular. Even with the enticement of a German chronoshift then chronospheres are only present in under 5% of games.

019_GermanyWinRateWithWithoutChronoshift.png (69.36 KiB) Viewed 46592 times

The blue line has dots because there are several seasons that didn't feature a single German chronoshift. Seasons 15 was the first time the German chronoshift was used since Season 10. The win rate for German chronoshifts (and German chronospheres) jumps around, often hitting 0% and 100% because there are so few of them.

I included two prerequisite lines on this graph, one for the tech centre and one for the chronosphere, since the chronosphere line tracked the chronoshift line so closely.
