Got some demomen to kill it seems!

Any statistics out there on who is more likely to win based on past performance?

Seems to me that when defending, demomen would kill more, and the opposite when attacking. Hard to say, but the soldier may have the edge?

There is infact.

Demomen Average 80 kills per hour.

Soldiers Average 79 kills per hour.


Soldier is played an average 13% of the time out of 100 by people.

Demoman 12.5% of the time by people.

 

So i'd give a ever so slight edge to Soldier.

But that's not what we want. That's total kills per hour, not just kills of soldier/demo vs demo/soldier.

 

It plays out pretty equally distributed... Look at the numbers.


Soldiers hold about a 100,000 lead after day one with about 1.3 million killed a piece.

 

Not really. Soldier is leading by 7.7% when on average there were just 4% more soldiers (i.e. almost twice the rate)...

I think the previous statistics are not worth that much. People are playing the game differently now. Besides not all classes kill each other equally, there are obvious cases like spy/sniper, pyro/spy, and soldier/demo probably weren't even either before the war started.

@SeriousWB: Yeah they just updated those, it's a daily update.

 

Twice the rate is to be expected.

 

Think about it.  Soldier is played 4% more NORMALLY.  However now that people are more motivated to play Soldier and Demoman... the difference is going to rise.

Though the Demoman is considered the best by "tournament" players.  He's got a much steeper learning curve then Soldier... meaning the extra hours being put into Demo aren't going to be worth it nearly as much.

Honestly 7% is lower then I thought.  I expect soldiers to win by about 10% overall.

Up to 122 dead Soldiers by the way....

and 3 dead demomen.... if we lose by 3....

Also, i'd mention there is a possibility the numbers are much more apart then we think....

and Valve is just screwin with us so the event isn't ruined.


If one group went up over a half a mil on the other.... that'd be no fun!

Yeah, that's going to be awesome.

 

The board seems to be suggesting a Rocket launcher that explodes into fire but doesn't crit as well.  Though maybe i'm looking too much into it.

 

I'm up to 204 Dead soldiers but alas i think it's pointless.

 

Though who knows.... a few servers have been caught cheating by giving soldiers phantom kills.  Never know how many kills may be knocked off... knowing valve they don't like to just fix stuff they like to outright punish people for cheating.  (See Halos for non idelers.)

Yeah, for whatever reason pirating TF2 is just hard in general as well.

I only know of one pirated server... and they can't figure out how to make it so the legal people get their steam unlocks along with the pirates.


Right now i'd probably put TF2 on my top 5 of all time and if not definitly top 10 from an enjoyment factor.

Go Demomen! I've contributed 40 dead soldiers to the cause.
