race stats

[brett friggin favre]

according to psychostats:

most played races: human, vagabond, undead (in order, 1-3)
least played races: genocide, panorama, die xonvert (also in order, bottom to top)

highest kdr: molecule (1.61), crypt lord (1.44), spiderman (1.40) [note a nice gap between these and number 4, shadow hunter at 1.29]
lowest kdr: rapscallion (0.55), magician (0.69), hell hunter (0.72)

just in case anyone was interested. also i think it illustrates possible balance issues for the top 3 classes in kdr and rapscallion.

Yeah, i really wish rap was stronger because of its higher level req out of the knife races. Maybe removing his ult cooldown will help, i just find it much harder to play rap then flame pred, which makes most people to not even touch rap.

"Maybe removing his ult cooldown will help"

um isnt it when you max out the ult there is no cooldown so fail post from HypeRNT


but you have a good point brent but to bad all the races arent out yet because the #1 will be evo

If Rap had a standard anti-lace it might get played more. It can be a very fun race but there is nothing worse than being 3 feet behind a player and knowing you cant get him.

another thing that would help is getting rid of that damn ulti animation you can see through walls

Usally i have some witty reply that only I think is funny, for threads like these. I'm at a loss of words, it is what it is.

:/ I mean Rap is good its just... You need to know how the other team is gonna move before they do... and be there about an hour before hand so they can't see you cloak.

another interesting comparison is between rap (0.55 kdr again) and flame pred (0.87 kdr). most evident of the differences between classes is when you see that flame preds have a 1.5 kdr to opposing rapscallions, which is the highest kdr flame pred has against any class by .3. ( http://www.ibisgaming.com/wcs_stats/...r=desc#victims )

what could be done about this is an increase in the proc rate of blades (nothing's more annoying than running into a human and having to knife him 3 times before he shoots you once in the dome, or running into a flame pred with the same problems, except he can see you better, can set you on fire, making it even harder for you to see and slowing you, and all he has to do is get you twice), increase the speed of adrenaline, and remove the ultimate animation as suggested previously.

proves vaga isnt OP.

the races aren't supposed 2 be even.... there's good races, and not so good races, and great races... and it will always be this way as counter races have been properly set up along the way with lower lvl requirements.
