Modification of the selection of countries where the player is strongest/weakest
BEN
As discussed on the Discord server's comment channel, right now the selection is currently based on all matches played.
Wouldn't it make more sense to only take into account only the last 50 to 100 matches, for example, in order to more accurately reflect the player's current strengths and weaknesses?
Many players find the current selection very inaccurate.

These stats are good and should be available to view on your acct.... but it's overload for duels.... and might also artificially affect speed of guess of your opponent or you during a duels... creating an advantage/disadvantage based on these. It's becoming visually off putting, and GG are providing too much info about other players....now including live view of opponents movement during duels.... getting borderline creepy!
BEN
T.B.H. I disagree, I appreciate that they added these two features, especially the new spectator mode!

BEN agree re the stats accuracy.... that's why it's good to get differing views, but as you alluded to below, I don't think they are statistically accurate (therefore relevant?) and ARE way too visually busy and really belong in a players profile, not part of the duel. I'm a bit of a hypocrite with the in game view though!... I hated the idea!... but now find myself watching! :) haha

I think the problem is NM/NMPZ games influence the calculation much more than moving. For someone like me who play 50/50 Moving and NM, the countries are just NM stats. That being said, the stats don’t really influence my decisions in game.
BEN
Kritovoulos You may not use these stats, but they should at least be accurate
Kritovoulos
BEN yeah of course, I’m saying that the larger point difference of NM/NMPZ games makes the stats less accurate. Don’t know what can be done to solve it though.
BEN
Kritovoulos I completely agree with you on that!

I think it would be better if it was all the duels from the last few months because that way all of your relevant sample size will get used. There are people who play 50+ duels per week but if you make the number too big, then players who play fewer duels will get everything from the last year or two in the calculation which doesn't make sense.
BEN
Kris I agree! Maybe a few months is a bit too long, but the developers need to discuss the sample size!

BEN Two weeks seems an adequate time to learn a lot about a country, if people feel their weaknesses are part of the calculations opponents can make when dropping a pin. I agree it should be time based, but not too distant a time.
