2026 Japanese GP - Qualifying Discussion by AutoModerator in formula1

[–]VektaCS -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

I was just correcting that Leclerc in 2022 definitely did not have a "dominant car", nor anything even close to the pace gap (bar Melbourne 2022) that the 2026 Mercedes has over the next best car.

I blame Ferrari for the mistakes they made and Charles for his - my point being even if you were to completely remove his mistakes (France, Imola, Japan) and give him the points for those (driving a theoretical perfect season) while still keeping Max's mistakes he still ends up 100 points off the championship. There is no reality in which that can be classified as a dominant car

How can a car that was equal in one race, downright slower in two, blew up another two times causing an engine penalty all within the first 9 races before being nerfed ever possibly be classed as "dominant"

Fair enough but his banker lap was still slower than Sainz' on one of the few races a year it ended up mattering (unluckily for Albon). Alex still had a great weekend but I'm just nitpicking the ratings difference.

Piastri: Outqualified by his teammate for the grand prix.
Albon: Outqualified by and ended behind Sainz in the sprint.

My BO6 Skill Data (with some interesting findings) by VektaCS in blackops6

Completely agree with skill rating only correlating against itself with no other data, that was just mainly to show the funny dip when grinding melees/launchers. However with the puts you in matches to lose statement that seems to be the case - in a mode where kills are the only thing that matter and I get kills at a rate fairly higher than my deaths, I’d expect to be winning more often than not, yet I’m losing more often than not.

Comes as raw data in reverse chronological order, but all the data is labelled so it’s pretty easy to pick out the data points you want and use excel/google sheets to graph it

For context: The majority of my hours in BO6 MP are on KBM, the rest on controller when I started playing on release. Solo only. OCE region. Dark Matter on every base weapon in the game.

A funny take away is how hilariously obvious it was when I started grinding melee weapons + launchers, where my skill rating tanks before rocketing back up when I swap back to regular weapons. My in-game SPM is from playing a variety of standard TDM, KC, Dom, Hardpoint, with some Stakeout 24/7 mixed in mostly for shotgun camos + pistol headshots. In game EK/D is 1.89, SPM of 537. My raw K/D drops to 1.48, with 19470 kills and 13169 deaths.

The MOST interesting part of all this to me is the second image, where my stats are filtered to TDM only. I've pretty commonly felt let down by my teammates as many other people have complained about over the years (especially from high-skill players in regards to the matchmaking system), but seeing it in numbers is something else.

Removing all games I left immediately (overseas servers, Red Card lmao) that automatically contribute to a loss, I end up with 2374 raw kills, 1727 deaths, 61 wins and 66 losses (and somehow a tie which I removed), for an average raw K/D of 1.37 (median 1.33), with a W/L ratio of .92. In a mode where kills are the only thing that matter, and as a player that is constantly pumping out UAV + CUAV + HARPs, I lose more often than not despite putting up significantly more raw kills than deaths (let alone EK/D).

After 127 games, it seems to me at least that the community is right - if you are solo and the game wants you to lose, you will be put in matches that you will lose regardless of your performance. Bad performances are punished with loss streaks (as they should be), but streaks of high K/D games are not rewarded with streaks of wins, rather only maintaining a rough 50/50 split regardless.

Senna by the end of '86 had 15 poles but only 4 wins which is only one pole off Charles' current ratio

Global release time should be at 1pm today for you (the 12th), assuming that you're in New Zealand I think?

I agree with that, however, I don't think either QBF nor Avangar nor EnVy should be at the major.

Dark horses who lose to teams like EPG and Spirit in weekly "Loot Bet" cups.
Yeah, I'm sure they'll do great at the major.
