RE: GU Balance: Data/it's interpretations and the state of the Meta, An in Depth Analysis w/ additional thoughts

Really great write up. I especially like the discussion of how overall win rates are just not adequate to determine deck strength. You also make a great point about mythic. Especially now with the smaller player base, the weekend ranked reset churns them down into diamond and even solar gold quite often.
Also great points about a card win rate being at best a crude indicator. People can slot in Dense Fog into a top-tier deck and pump its win rate.
For these and other reasons, I just have no confidence when GU devs say "we crunched the numbers and everything looks fine."

Hey Kstreet, thanks for stopping by. The data available for interpretation is in and of itself at most a crude indicator and balance and decisions of that nature need to take existing card statistics into account due to the nature of locking. The GU team is certainly not in an enviable position but I would also not be confident in "crunched numbers" especially in a short time period. Mythic data aswell being equally unreliable for different reasons. I sincerely appreciate you reading this man, hope you've been having a good week. Cheers, and see you on the ladder.
