With another year having passed that we can look back at, Helpstone has decided to do exactly that. Specifically by looking at the matchups' statistical bias, calculated with the data from W3Champions' season 12 and 13.
The entirety of the article below - including tables/plots - are created by Helpstone. It is a delightful read!
I hope y'all had a pleasant take-off to 2023. Happy reading!
In this article, we will look at the Warcraft 3 end game score screen and the resulting in-game data in a comparative manner among W3Champions divisions, as well as creating detailed user profiles as a means to quantify perfomance.
Last week, W3Champions released a new matchmaking system that affected all modes, but in particular team games! Today members of the data science team, Toxi and Helpstone would like to share some information on what was changed, and how it should improve matchmaking in future.

About a year ago, the Reddit user /u/DarkTetine had the audacity to use our replay collection to make an overview of the hero pick percentages for patch 1.29 and 1.30. Well, that was actually a pretty good idea, so I decided to follow his lead and do the same for patch 1.31.
Currently, my favourite matchup is Human versus Orc. Over the course of patch 1.31.1, the meta has changed several times and still has not settled completely. In this article I will take a look at the stats for the rather controversial matchup.
It is always a gratifying occasion for us when we can present something new and fresh to the community. Some time ago, we implemented the Elo-chart feature. Today, we sum up our historic Elo-ranking which dates back to 2015 into one video.
Recently here at Warcraft3.info, we have been hard at work downloading a huge amount of data from the Battle.net website. We took data from ~120,000 games. Just over 76,500 of those games were 1v1. Today we bring you the first part in a series of articles diving deep into these games to see if we can spot any patterns or get any useful information. Today: Winrates!
