Alas you did not record which matchup each game was, only the race of one of the players. It would have been even more awesome if that was in the data so one could tease out matchup specific effects that vanish when we average over all matchups of a single race. I would love it if someone made a website where people could submit information like this for aggregation, even with self-selection it would fascinate me! | ||

There's no such implication here: fewer games -> more likely to overlap 2. There's only one sample size here - of the whole study. And we can only assume if it is increased that the curves will scale proportionately. What you meant to re-iterate with that sentence is that the overlap is relatively small to the overall sample size. That is obviously true, but it still exists and is not negligible. And even more so the closer the leagues are. Whereas to claim gaps would mean that two neighboring leagues (the closest) do not overlap at all. Which would be practically impossible by any measure, not just SQ. Luckily, the OP doesn't claim that at all. | ||

This is an average measure, and if you compare a 9 minute game of a bronzie where he hits a 3 rax timing attack (just over 600) to a GM micro-intensive game long game, it's much more likely for that bronzie to get a higher score on that one game. It's just a very small number of games. Also, some good players get accounts that they need to play out of bronze, so those 30ish games would contribute to the overlap too. I guarantee, 100%, that no legitimate bronze league player can out-macro a GM for even 2 solid minutes. Even during the best game of his life against a GM who is drunk off his ass, an accurate comparison of any relevant metric would show them to be night and day. The SQ just seems to loosely correlate to macro and skill without really measuring or displaying anything truly insightful, valuable or accurate. | ||

I checked my SQ over my last 12 games (I played 2 games after I first did calculations) and I averaged a ~46 which is consistent with my bronze ranking according to your analysis. | ||

Luckily, the OP doesn't claim that at all. ? you've got to be trolling me. the y axis of the graph is the number of games. as the number of games go up, the less two different leagues will overlap on the SQ x-axis. the OP appears to have not gone with the same number of games per league, which makes the graph a little visually misleading. as you increase the sample size per league, ie the number of games played, eg as you go up the y-axis, you can can see how the average SQ increases, and that the difference between the average SQ for each league starts to widen. | ||

As for everyone asking for this information from the get go, that's basically what your league is supposed to provide. If you're in plat, you spend money like a plat player, etc etc. I feel like including more unnecessary things on your profile page would turn more people off from laddering as it is, because people will hit a streak of 5 games or something where they're feeling really good, then stop laddering because they're afraid their "Spending Quotient" is going to plummet. But still, absolutely fantastic work and we all obviously like what you've done | ||
