Tf2 Stats Reset

[Asjo 90]

I came onto the forums because I noticed that the stats page was down. Recently, I've been having a good deal of fun trying to get the top ranking in the axtinguisher, flare gun and rocket airblast kill rankings. So, I've been trying to kill more people with flare gun than usual, sometimes letting easy kills run away to make sure I got a flare kill. I have to admit I've been checking many times to see whether I had gone up another rank in the weapon rankings. So, I was a bit sad to see the stats go. At the same time, I'd be really curious about the current stats of some players. Some players have played for a long time, so their current stats don't reflect their current playing styles and trends. So, with a stats reset, and possible even more accurate stats, I'd be checking up on them to see how they do nowadays. Plus, if I stayed active, getting number one axtinguisher on Lotus would be easy

Like many have mentioned, it's obvious that the ranking in the overall rank has no real significance, and thus the loss of such rank doesn't mean too much. Even on bad days, I more often get MVP # 1 than not, but rarely get many points for the rankings, while players who are more careful get a lot more. If I recall correctly, Awo was ranked second. What he does is that he places a mini-sentry in a position where it has a chance to randomly finish off or assist kills and then spams pomson around a corner. He shies away at the slightest hint of an opponent going after, hiding in spawn if he has to. If he switched to demo, he will sticky camp the grill on 2Fort, which is basically the most abusive thing you can do. From the looks of it, he's hardly more than average, and he's a terrible player to have on the server since he doens't really participate. He seems to simply to be there to get some points for his stats. The way he plays simply makes 2Fort less fun to play for people, since he's either constantly annoying pyros and scouts with random damage with mini-sentries or slowing down play with sticky camping. If an average player can make number two, that's very telling. For people who are purely motivated by the stats, I'm happy that the stats are reset.

Instead, it's very interesting to follow which player has the most kills per minute, who has more airshot rockets, players extinguished and such, and I'm sad to lose all that data. I did think of the stats as a nice historical log of whatever has been done on the servers. I thought it was awesome to keep track of what others and myself had played as and which weapons had gotten more kills. That's why an annual reset would make me quite sad. The only reason I'd support this reset was if it in fact would mean stats would work better. However, have we considered whether GameMe is superior to HLstatsX is any way? One thing I noticed was that while the design of the current stats page is very pleasant, the few two sites of the Google search Mana linked looked horrible, and I wouldn't want to regularly visit those. They didn't really have the same overview either and seemingly has a somewhat slow loading time. Are there any stats that GameMe can log, which HLstatsX doesn't? I suppose this inquiry is too late, but as a very curious person who will check up on the stats of people, I would hate to miss out on interesting details.

You and others will be able to see how the next stats work. We still have 12 days to during which we can go back to old stats if for some reason the new ones don't work out.

Now it will be time for tryhard.com gotta go big

[Harlequin 2,975]

well yeah, the update is done?

what's the new URL to search players, check server activitys and so on?

If it's active, best to switch the URL from the Lotus-Start-Page :-)

looking forward for the new system.

The URL will be the same.

They have indeed reset, but have not be updated yet on the database to look at.

Should be good to see when it does get around to that. Till then, we wait.

It's just stats. Nobody's putting them on a resume, so who cares? Reset away!

[Literally Ambersome 3]

Could we still have a kad ratio stats somewhere? Since medics players don't get much of a good kd ratio. Thanks in advance. =)

Edit: Also, just noticed it doesn't show the number of assists at all.

It does. But I will edit it so it shows it right on the profile page.

For now just click "Teams & Actions".

I'm glad the reset went through, if anyone was highly ranked before then they will most likely rank just as high after the reset. Did the other stat system reward building sentries like this new one does? Because IMO its extremely stupid. On my stats page it shows:

Headshot kills = 164 times = 328 points

Godlike (12+ kills) = 9 times = 99 points

Built a mini sentry = 157 times = 471 points

Looks like its more efficient to just spam sentries instead of kill the other team.

Building a sentry (any of them) shouldn't give any points at all. It takes far more skill to land those headshot kills than it does to drop a mini sentry infront of the enemy team, run away and build another 2 seconds later. Points should be given for the kills that the sentry gets but not the building.

I believe you lose points if the sentry is destroyed though.

I believe you lose points if the sentry is destroyed though.

That doesn't seem to be the case if you look at the event log. The only time it shows a point loss is when you destroy it yourself.

[seraphinianus 6]

Also, it looks like the class ranking page ranks only based on kills. This also sucks for medics.

You also lose points if they are destroyed at the end of the round. You only get points if an enemy destroys them.

Oh man, just when I reached top spot for most kills on x33 )

[Nano 7,892]

What an unexpected burden lifted!

Enjoying TF2 even more now that I don't have stats to think about.

You should look at the date of the OP and the votes that were put up.

Yes there was a heads up. As well as a vote. All started on 30 September 2012.
