EPTOnly reasonable way to get more bronze/silver participation would be to reach them in-game somehow. Can't see too many lower league players browsing community sites and then taking the time to do a survey related to something they're probably not too passionate about.

Are you getting getting a normal distribution of players or are your responses skewed towards the higher end of the spectrum? It's a gut feel, but what if people who have just entered masters, don't feel they "represent" masters? Do you have a way of ensuring that you get a decent distribution of replays? Also do you expect to have similar numbers of participants in each league or would you stratify based on blizzard's estimates for each league. For example, Bronze would be expected to have much larger numbers than masters, how is that dealth with? I'm not sure how you'd tell about the distribution with leagues. You have to pick a specific variable and see how that varies within league. But you'd have no way of knowing if, for example, your sample is mainly high gold vs. low gold. We don't, unfortunately, have access to the MMR for each player, just their league. My hope isn't for an equal proportion to what Blizzard uses. It's pretty clear that we'll have fewer lower level players than higher level players. It won't be a problem unless we don't have enough low level players to get reliable numbers. It's not ideal that the players that have the most variability in their data are also the least likely to participate. We have around 150 bronze now, and I'll breath a sigh of relief when we hit 200. Unless the data are unexpected noisy (always a possibility), we should be fine. It's true though that we will have better estimates of those leagues with the most participants. | ||

I recently started playing with sound after playing without since last October and I didn't realize how much of a difference it can make sometimes. I agree with you. Maybe next time. Sigh. | ||

What I wondered about was the mouse sensitivity question. What does the % tell you, if you dont know the Windows sens and dpi? | ||
