    I'm going to go crazy if you people don't stop drawing power conclusions from this report. Can you really not understand how idiotic that is? It's a snap shot of the last bg the current top 200 ranks were using.

    How many faction power swings have we been through? 50? People don't gravitate to that faction as you suggest. The play with what they have. There are a very small percentage of people who have access to all the runes and all leveled avatars but for the most part people have most of one faction and some of a couple more.

    That's also the reason you hear about a faction being OP, precisely since people do not have access to it and want it to be competitive to what they are able to use.

    The overall faction representation is like my own. So I'm the average example. (Not talking power here at all, just the general faction appeal to the average poxer)

    8) Shattered Peaks - Never touch with a long stick (cuz acid)
    7) Forglar Swamp - There is a 7th faction? I'm fine, I guess
    6) Sundered Lands - Never really played them
    5) - 2) Alriight
    1) Demons and dragons

    I have gotten reports on a daily basis in the past. It doesn't usually change the trend very much. Thus, if you look at a series of these snapshots over time, it becomes more relevant as to what is happening in the meta.

    It is funny to see many of the players backtracking now that this data has come out. KF has never been the most popular faction but it has usually been in the top 5, the data seems to support that. However, as we all know, when a faction is OP, people tend to swarm to that faction. The thing is many people in the lobby and the forums have been making claims like how KF lines the ranks of limited league and that playing KF has been artificially boosting player's rank so that players that are exo league are attaining limited league status. This data shows that this is simply not the case.

    That is an interesting question, and probably best answered by the most interesting man in the world.

    Ok, now I'm on a crusade against ignorance. Popularity does not equal power. K, bro?


    And the only data we've ever seen shows that people DO NOT swarm factions in power. K, bro?

    Have you heard any complaints that KF (or recently IS) is OMG LOL LOL KF/IS I SO POPULAR wutwutgaiz??!?

    Well the strongest factions seem to be KF, ST, FW, IS and UD. SP doesnt need a nerf I rest my case.

    You can say that, and it's 100% your prerogative to voice an opinion. The moment you try to.make that opinion seem a fact supported by this report, you've jumped in the abyss of ignorance. You're too good to lose PTawp, step back from the ledge.

    No, incorrect. Let me assist you:

    The most popular factions at this point in time appear to be KF, ST, FW, IS and UD. SPs possible need for nerfs cannot in any way be determined from this report.

    You're welcome.

    I think no 1 is going to argue that rage of the circle doesnt need a nerf. Well if Konung is not in the top 10 SP doesnt need a nerf end of.

    are you kidding some of SP themes are quite strong (like voils) only that they are not used is probably they lack enough counters thats probably why UD is less than IS ST and FW

    this post isn't biased or inaccurate at all. you're right scampy, I agree 100%. lol.

    I think that you shouldn't speak for every 1, while that champ may be slightly OP, it's not by far and not near the biggest problem in the game. Secondly, regardless of what Rage of the Circle needs/doesnt need, this thread has nothing to do with it.

    HeroeXXXX (the current BM) got destroyed by it when MW24 used it. Every time I see that champ used it seems to destroy people.

    I've been playing a game thats balanced, fun, has a population. I've rewarded them by probabaly spending 1200 in their item mall since Jan 1. I did come throw a Sokbone at Pox though, bought a couple mega packs.

    Here's what the data looked like in 2012:

    Compared to the purple on the right being from yesterday.

    Interestingly, KF, SL FS, AND SP are all seen less frequently than just over 2 years ago.
