How Is It Possible?

[Majmac]

Just encountered a play today.

They have played 89 Random Battles and three Co-op battles.

All well and good, BUT they only registered yesterday (5 September, 2022).

How is it possible to play that many Random battles in less than 24 hours? That works out at more than three battles per hour, playing non-stop for 24 hours.

By the way, their Co-op win rate is 66.67%, so they are well below average in winning.

However, their Random win rate is 50.56%! That is above average.

He only played three coop games, losing one of them will result in 66.67% (2/3) win rate.

Even bots can achieve at least 96% win rate when playing coop, you shouldn't judge a player's skill based on the result of only three games

I was more interested in the Random number of games.

I know about the Co-op, and I only mentioned it because it seems like an abnormally low number of Co-op games in relation to the number of Random games.

Further with the Co-op; all three games were T1. The two wins had an average XP of 194, with the highest being 355. The loss had zero XP with zero damage being caused to the other team. Then ... the player bursts upon the Random scene and has such a high win rate. Still I wonder how someone can play so many Random games in less than 24 hours and have such a high WR?

Maybe he really played the game with no stop in the last 24 hrs, that's not impossible. But if he continued to play the game in this manner for several days, he must be using bots or the account is shared with other people......or he's so game addicted that he can kill himself by playing games......

Perhaps a bit of methamphetamine helped. 🙂

Roll a new account, then go see.

I did that earlier this year. The first 3 games are forced co-op, you don't get a choice and T1 is ALL that is available. It's the account levels bit. The first 200 games are in protected MM, as long as you stick to T4 max, (as I did - had a 90% win rate when I hit the 200th game, 3 co-op and 197 random). 

It's possible this player is a reroll, or just an actually competent new player. As for the number of games, most of my protected MM games lasted fewer than 10 minutes as I was often the only human in the game.

One possible way to buff your stats is to play low tier randoms at odd hours, especially effective if you play T1 randoms against mostly bot red teams.

89 battles in Random seems quite high for someone who just signed up IMO. Would have been understandable if it's Co-op, but for Random...dunno if that's possible. I couldn't even play 100 battles in just one day even in Co-op.

It would depend a lot if those are 1 minute or 10 minute battles..

This might explain it actually, if its just bots. You could repeatedly rush in, die and game ends because you're the only human player. Or if it doesn't end...grab another T1 for free and go again.

This might unironically be the best way to grind the really low tiers where theres few humans and little service cost.

The player only played one T1 Random game.

They played 22 T4 Random games and 38 T5 Random games.

It is not of any concern to me, I was just intrigued when the player died so easily in a 1vs1 encounter.
