Someone brought up an interesting topic in another post about some general stats and his play being 'average'. I'm curious to see the spread on what us reasonably dedicated players achieve. I almost never look at the pgi stats, but I did after this comment. It's intersting to validate what I feel are my best mechs and usually I'm right, but there are also some interesting ones that rise to the top that surprise me. There are a lot of possible stats, but I personally feel average damage is the best stat that we have easy access to from the PGI forum. Win/Loss I find meaningless because PGI actively tries to get 50%, KDR is an okay metric, but once again, is easily manipulated by the playstyle of yourself and/or the mech loadout. So, that leaves us with Average Damage - even this has pitfalls for those that precisely shoot at components vs an lrmboat for example, but whatever. I'll make a poll for each class, but if you care to take the time to pull your stats out of the PGI forum, what is your BEST MECH in this class' average damage (take "Damage Done" divided by "Matches Played"). FYI, if you don't know, you can log into http://mwomercs.com/forums/, click profile in the top right, then click stats, then mech stats... I copy/pasted the table into Excel and then did the calc Damage Done / Matches played and sorted
I have a lot of mechs...give me a second... Medium mech 8160.69230769231 is the Average Damage of all my mechs.. 212178 is the sum of the Damage for the Medium mechs.... That's a lot! but the number of games played... 848 total... turns out my medium mechs get me about 9.6 damage on average... as for the best medium mech, the HBK-4P has 252 average damage. I am not the best medium pilot, I guess. Even with my Shadowhawk 5M at 8 games with an average damage of 406...
SDH-2H: 330 damage. It looks like it'll stay ahead of my best hunchback, the 4SP which has an average of 260 damage. The hawks and hunches are the only mediums I own. Edit: All the dakka. All the dakka.
Total across all Shadow Hawks: 340 damage per match average. SHD-2H: 385.89 SHD-2D2: 338 SHD-5M: 291 Well, that wasn't surprising. Triple AC/2 is a super easy build to play. Flying AC/20 is kinda hard since I'm naturally super aggressive, and putting me in a squishy short-range mech gets me killed early a lot.
Hey, anything over a 1.0 KDR means your killing more than getting killed Can't ask for more than to give more than you get!
BJ-3 with 355dmg (54 matches, 19205dmg) My main mech is the BJ-1 with 343dmg (167 matches, 56409dmg) and the CN9-A was close with 339dmg (154 matches, 52238dmg)
The clear cut winner here is my Shadowhawk 2H with 326 damage on average. It has a 1.4 W/L ratio, a 1.25 K/D ratio and a .83 kills/ game. However, it only has 12 games under its belt. My highest W/L is my Centurion AL, at 1.45 (Though only 49 games under his belt.) My BJ-1X has the highest plays at 95.
