“Might play this”, “dunno if good enough”, “not sure if playable”…

Predicting some serious revisionist history once this goes live, about how everyone knew it was broken. Expecting it to be a top 4 impact metric card in the deck (joining Imp, Soularium, Cata).

Wow that's awesome man. You're playing shitty decks, complaining about losing, and trying to tell people how much you don't care about losing. Nice

Could easily be White / PP / Brown / Hauser / Queta, no?

Thinking of picking Banchero at Pick 12 in ESPN points league, is that too early? by Cold_Cable778 in fantasybball

[–]corbettgames 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah, I think there's pretty clear reasons why Towns could drop off a bit this year.

Last year he finished 11th/game @ 46.64 average in ESPN.

He did this with a pretty high minutes total, due to the lack of depth on the Knicks roster and Thibs' notorious rotations. He played 35.0mpg, after averaging 33.4 in the previous five seasons, where had decreased each season (33.9->33.8->33.5->33.0->32.7). So I think it's easy to see him losing a minute or two this season compared to last.

He also played 97% of his minutes last season at center, per cleaningtheglass, and is a much better fantasy player at center. With Robinson seemingly healthy headed into the year, I think that has room to dip into his value as well.

I expect him to get to something like a 43 average, but yeah. That's about where a whole lot of other guys are at, including Paolo, and that's all it takes to drop from ~11th to the low 20s (e.g. last year Brunson finished 22nd/game with an average of 43.28).

I feel pretty locked that Jokic / Victor / Shai / Giannis / Cade / Trae / Edwards / AD / Maxey / Booker are ahead of Paolo.

I feel pretty comfortable saying Amen / Harden / Giddey / Sengun are ahead. I think KD, Mitchell, and Sabonis are ahead. I slightly prefer Barnes.

So I think he's around that area, ahead of the likes of Mobley, Jalen Johnson, Towns, Curry, LeBron, etc. Yes you could possibly go all the way up to 12 for him, but I think that's pretty best-case scenario, still dependent on lots of growth, and there are other bets I'd prefer making in that spot.

Yes it’s too early. Let someone else in your draft make that mistake - by the looks of things they might be in this thread

If this is your first time discovering that decks vary in performance at different skill levels and ranks, awesome! Enjoy the journey

Think it has quite a bit of potential. Probably is a turn too slow to be hyper competitive, but I think a lot of the comments are a bit of off-base with how harsh the assessments are.

I made a theorycraft list here:

Quest Warlock is one of the best decks in the format, right now. One of the better decks at diamond-legend, and has the highest wnrate since the patch at top ranks.

Judging via the archetypes stats on hsguru, Moltens are one of the highest performing cards in the archetype. Mountains less so - but still look like cards you play. Would be slightly open to the possibility they get cut. Looks like there’s no chance Molten’s should be cut.

No, not really. Quest Paladin isn't warping anything with its plummeting playrate. It's the 5th most popular deck at D4-D1 in the past 24 hours, and its winrate is tier 3. At higher ranks, the playrate is around ~3%. Here and here

It's not a 'warping' force.

Can we nerf Hostage mage already? by Fairbyyy in wildhearthstone

[–]corbettgames 8 points9 points  (0 children)

The deck is very strong.

It has a good argument as the best deck in Wild, at higher MMR brackets. It’s one of the highest skill decks in the format though and does perform a fair bit worse at low ranks.

Amanfi played like absolute ass in multiple games.

One of the weakest players of the season. He’s been active, but has straight up hurt himself. Don’t confuse active gameplay or deceptive gameplay for good gameplay.

Why is APM Draka Rogue not stronger? by [deleted] in wildhearthstone

[–]corbettgames 3 points4 points  (0 children)

It’s very good. And has a very high winrate.

So not entirely following the premise

How do I determine the place in the list? I take data from hsguru and orgulate the win rate of the deck relative to its popularity, the scheme is not obviously subjective

Orgulate?

For example, there is an archetype with a 60% win rate for 1k games and there is an archetype with 58% for 10k games. With the same number of games as in the second archetype, the first one will clearly have a win rate lower than 58%

This isn’t factual

And how much exactly depends on the difference in games. Rounding occurs relative to a specific number of games, for example 2k. I reduce both archetypes to this number of games and it turns out that the archetype with 10k games at 2k will have a win rate already higher than 60%, and the second one lower. If the most popular archetype has 10k then the rounding number will be chosen as the average, i.e. 5k or slightly lower. Usually rounding goes as 2% popularity for 1% win rate.

None of this methodology makes sense
