So this is a request that doesn’t actually need to be included inside the game, it could be a post on the forums or on the blog, every month or so.
What I’d find interesting would be to get some general stats for the game, such as:
most common/rare/… troop used this month (all game types together) - for instance: in epics, Brian in about 43% teams; or in legendaries, Gloom Leaf in about 99% teams (yeah, I’m just being salty here )
most used invading line-up
most used defensive line-up
this month arena’s star troop
most used hero’s weapon…
Just to have a sense of what people usually pick in general. I think that’d be good - we might see an upsurge in “new” troops or weapons, or unmovable staples. Obviously, this would always be a bit skewed by flocks of newcomers who tend to all use the epics they just got (Lady Sapphira and Brian forever I think ^^), but still, it could be pretty cool to have an overall idea of how the majority of GoW players are enjoying their game.
I might have another look at these when I have a bit of time. The current Weekly Trophies and Leveling lists were done from similar requests, but I needed to keep it to something I could generate pretty quickly on a weekly basis. Data is a tricky beast!
Yeah, to be honest I’ve never been interested in leaderboards (even though I know they are popular) because these latter only tell me who’s been grinding the most, which I don’t feel is all that fascinating (but yes, I know some people are all about their Internet grind, so they’ll always be in demand ).
But I guess that kind of datamining is not the easiest to get to, and might not be worth the effort, especially since maybe not everyone cares about it. There was a small phone game I used to play in which the devs were always keeping up-to-date the most popular line-ups in the different game modes (it was more of a fighting game with a ton of possible troop combinations), and that always seemed interesting to me to see how the meta shifted anytime a new troop was released. But I get that it might be a lot of work, and therefore not all that easy / time-worthy to get to it. And seeing that only one other player cared to respond, I guess we’re not the majority!
To discover what is the most used hero’s weapon they have to fix the weapons’ images shown for each member of a guild. The weapons appearing are wrong.
I’m actually not that interested as who I have is working for me right now, but if I did look at such reports, the thought that having them by level seemed to make it more meaningful, since someone who’s level 500+ or even 200+ could be using a team that’s not even in reach for me, given how much they’re leveled and whether I have the cards or not and whether I have the weapons or not. But maybe something to aspire to
