Hello!

Adding a new entry, I share here:

Thanks for reading!

Really interesting read!
I would suggest however that you mix decks with a proeminent clan with deck with a poreminent discipline.
For instance, it doesn't really make any sense for a Weenie DEM, weenie ANI or tap'n'bleed using Presence and Mind Numb to pick a clan for them.

Hello! THanks for the comment.

Yes, I agree with you on your point. I am eager to make upgrades on the research, and that would be a good one. I will meditate on a way to incorporate such a feature. At the moment, I think those decks for which clan is not important are being represented in the archetypes, but I will think about it!

Regards!!!

About disciplines, at the moment the feature is counting decks that include at least 1 card of a given discipline. Due to the nature of my research, I could not think of an easy way to count discipline cards in each deck (what would be the most precise). It requires a lot of time and is beyond my possibilities right now...

So he system currently works so that if there is at least one card of certain discipline included in the deck, the said discipline gets tallied?

No problems there, just trying the be sure I understand how the system works...

I believe we use to think on Cel as a support discipline, but maybe after V5 we should rethink that...

There is not much payload in Celerity...
Also, inferior Celerity tends to be pretty darn feeble.

Weenie Celerity stickmen is about the only Cel-centered deck that I know. (tjenare Robert!)

The killer denomination, I though it would reflect they are decks that are focused on direct attack to the pool of their prey. I tried to illustrate their aggressive mood, but it is just a personal denomination, and I´m open to suggestions

No problem there. It was just a new term for me and caused some puzzlement.

Yeah, Stanislava won just 1 of the 9 tournament won by Gangrel. Not good times for her, it seems

Nah, it would seem that BCP managed to make the other options for the clan viable besides just her. Which is just GREAT!

I'd also say that using other options besides Stanislava are perhaps a bit less risky as she tends to fall into pieces when matched against combat monsters that can get around combat end (say the currently prevalent Banu Haqim as well as the traditional IG Potence combat)

And regarding tournament size, I am already considering the number of players in the events as a % rate for most indicators, but I agree with you in the need to discriminate big events from regular ones. I am thinking of a max number of players to include the event in the regular season... 50 or 75 is what now I am thinking of, and maybe 50 is the best number. What are your thoughts?

I'd say that there aren't that many of 50 players tournaments around either... :/
So defining the switch off point between the different sizes would be very difficult.
Hmmm, perhaps 20 and under would be small?
More than 50 would be large?

If you want to be pedant about it,make an annual tally of all the tournament sizes for the past 1-3 years and decide the switch off points for the sizes based on that. Giving perhaps a bit more weight to the latest year?

Hello!

I have finished the data gagthering for the month of April. I leave it here for anyone who feels curious and does not have anything better to do.

There is an archetype "Old Assamites" winning a tournament this month...!

RESPECT!



Also, nice to notice that in the card types it ain't Action or Action Modifiers (ie. Bleed or Stealth) that score the highest but Combat. Good to see that Combat cards have gained momentum which I think is probably due to the fact that BCP has tried to make Combat a more viable option as a winning strategy.

Just as nice it is to see Dominate taking a downfall in Disciplines.

Variance is good!


And having only three Ashur Tablets decks in the list is just awesome!


Once again, THANK YOU for the interesting, and important, analysis of the current meta! <3
