Question to devs about how data was grabbed for recent graphs

I believe last time @Peanits posted graphs, it was revealed that the numbers included games with disconnects. Do the round of graphs this time also include games with disconnects? Or have they been removed to make sure they don't skew statistics again?

  • Disconnect games were not included. If there was a disconnect, the entire match was thrown out. I saw Peanits post that somewhere.

  • The devs have said that DCs were excluded

    Oh, that's good. By any chance, does anybody have a link to where that was stated? I didn't see it in the original post, and I haven't seen the post they stated it in yet.

  • They also didnt specify if console was included or if it's pc only, if it's including console then the data doesn't really matter. I know Nurse got specific data on pc but the other graphs did not specify where they pulled from.

    And why wouldn't the data matter if it included consoles?

    Peanits replied in one of the "whaaaaaaa Nurse" posts that console was included in all data except the bottom Nurse-only chart which was clearly stated to be PC only.

    cause balance on console and pc are very different and it would explain why nurse is so low in kill rates, why freddy who is really popular on console has the highest kill rate on that chart and makes kill rates look better as a whole by adding console

    Then the data matters. It just needs to be broken down by platform.

  • I can definitely confirm that the data was taken with DC's EXCLUDED. It does include all platforms.

    Well besides trapper the data would matter more if console and pc were separated imo.

  • Thank you, @MandyTalk

    This is wonderful news that the data team has been motivated to get a more accurate data sets than before. Is it possible to edit in that information in the official Statistics post so that there won't continue to be any confusion around it? I've posted a similar thread yesterday that was never answered (although I did tag @Peanits ) - if I hadn't seen this particular thread today, I would have never known.

    Even for the official statistic posts in the future (if it is really going to be done monthly), it would be a good idea to add that sort of information in, so that same questions don't keep popping up.

    If you can, can you also answer the following? (Or if you don't know, can you tag the person that would know the following information?)

    1. Can you define what types of matches constituted as being 'Red Ranks' matches? (e.g. - a.) All 5 players started the match in Red Ranks, b.) Killer started the match in Red Rank but not necessarily survivors, c.) All 4 survivors started in Red Ranks but not necessarily the killer, d.) at least 1 player started the match in Red Rank, e.) majority of the players (3/5) started the match in Red Ranks.)

    2. Why were the Nurse's kill rate statistic only given for PC? Can you provide them for the other consoles?

    Thanks again @MandyTalk

    It would be more informative for the playerbase. But since they don't balance separately between each platform it wouldn't really matter.

    Saying they dont balance for each platform doesn't make the information any more useful, console is played very differently than pc. Not to mention adding all the kill rates together just makes every thing look better and muddies up the information. Not saying they did that intentionally but the information doesn't matter but if they are only balancing for pc, cause look at the nurse rework, then console shouldn't be in that graph.
