I did it and when completed it brought me to a 404d page. Hope it worked
|
done, good luck with your research ^^
|
completed. Subscribed as well so hopefully will enjoy some updates. good work
|
We'll be posting updates periodically to the list.

In case you don't already know, Crushdog5, the APM as measured ingame is based on ingame time, which, on faster, is 1.33 x regular. Therefore, APM must be multiplied by 1.33 to get the actual number of actions per minute.

Interesting how skewed towards the higher leagues the people participating in this are. Granted, people more involved with the community, and hence more likely to see this, tend to be higher ranked. Still I wonder if uploading a replay is keeping lower leaguers out because they are feel bad having someone look at their play.
Anyway, sending this link to my lower ranked buddies to try to get them to do it

Well, replays are pretty necessary as that's their primary method of determining skill, as it should be.

I'm probably going to do it, just want to make sure , is there's any problem if my replay is from an older patch and that my bnet profile doesnt have any game this season?
|
Well, i gonna help too! But not now, cant upload the replay right now cos im at work and supposed to be working xD

Oh I'm not saying they shouldn't require them. Just saying it might help explain the high skill-skewed data they are going to get.

Well, newer is better, but if you don't have anything else, go ahead and submit what you have.

Just played some games 1v1 to get a replay. First two were ZvPs with stalkers, immortals, and archons shitting on me. In the first game he kept on denying bases until switching to voids and finishing me. In the second game I just lost a big army vs big army battle despite having 10 infestors with fungal and neural. Third and final game was a ZvZ vs some dumbass who went fast roach off one base, but only made 3 roaches, and then tried to expand. I already had my expo up and running and just swarmed him with lings.
God I hate 1v1.

Done. What is the current replay/survey count?
|
This is awesome! I have participated! Good luck with the research, and I am awaiting the results with bated breath.

Something in the neighborhood of 2700.

My question is what is the distribution of responses that you are receiving within each league. 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.
Thanks for your reply! I am no statistician but stats still fascinate me. Particularly in this kind of study, where the shape of the data can influence the outcomes you achieve. I would assume you have posted something on the BNET forums. How is the response from there?
