You also have to take into account for all the scrub players that want to be Good so they chased FoTM as well.
Good and Bad players chase FoTM and there are some players so bad not even a crutch can help them.

The disparity between basic, advanced, and proto tier suits seems far too great. Not at all.
- New players will run Standard suits for a long time. By the time they get into Advanced and Proto suits they have more experience.
- People who are getting stomped often run cheaper suits.
- People don't run expensive suits unless they can minimize their deaths. Otherwise it is too expensive.
So for the most part, only good players run expensive suits regularly, and everyone else runs less expensive suits. Therefor the stats of the Standard suits is primarily a representation of unskilled players, while the stats of the Proto suits represents primarily the skilled players. It is a reflection of the cost of the suit more than the quality.
That said, I do support tieracide.

This is my thinking as well (kind of) on usage rates. Is it not possible that a disproportionately high number of "bads" are running MN Assault and artificially deflating its KDR?
I suspect there's more at play here then what this set of numbers is telling us, as these numbers do not jive with months of elevated usage rates and months of forum feedback.
Suggestion: We could filter out a high percentage of bads (and snipers) from the data by looking at PC usage and efficiency rates rather than global efficiency rates.

For the assault and logi i think the only reason why thats so high is that before the other assaults have beeing introduced it was the only Assault suit of its kind. The logi K/D can be explained by back in the day it was massively spammed and misused as a slayer suit in pubs and PC.
So overall i think that data is way too old to be reliable. It would be more accurate if you show the K/D ratio over a 30 day timeframe instead of all time. The data is only for the last 30 days.
Also, if you seem to never see a suit on the field, that means the masses aren't dying in it. Anyone using the suit is probably an expert on that suit, and therefor will get a better KDR than the masses.

Do people use a pro cal assault to snipe? I would be surprised if many do.
The numbers certainly aren't meaningless, but they perhaps don't give a definitive indication of relative power.
Usage stats would also be useful. People tend to use what they can do well with.
It would also be good if we could eliminate snipers from the data. |

Using kdr over the last 30 days to claim ' balance ', while nice to see stats being pulled, doesn't provide proof of any sort of suit performance balance.
Padding KDR? Use caldari suit and sit in redline, drive a tank or run away from every firefight. Hurray! Stats will show suit is balanced!
Wanna play the game? Use any other suit and hack objectives, be a logi, have a logi rep you, push an objective, use damage mods and tank your suit, run in a group and be useful.
Caldari scout and Minmitar assault are the only shield suits that have any sort of survivability thanks to strafe speeds and hitboxes that make it neer impossible for a large blaster to hit you from 10m away unless you stop moving. This is not thanks to the shields, it is the terrible hit detection on fast suits. Direct hits do nothing, shooting in front of them does nothing, shooting behend them does nothing, just get lucky and get a random headshot for a kill.
There is no balance, there is playing the game and running away from the game.
Caldari ( THE SHIELD RACE ) is garbage due to shields being inferior, why don't you pull the stats on how many shield extenders were used on all the shield suits that were lost? Gauranteed the average with a kdr over 1 is at max 1 or 2 slots because the shield suits are sitting in the redline with damage mods trying not to die. Sure, in the last 30 days maybe a bunch of newbs tried out the game and stuck 4 extenders in thier caldari highs.... got smashed... then started speccing into amar or galente or minmitar.
Shields are garbage for playing this game.
Look at the shield tanks, it's a good indicator of the shape shield infantry are in. |

Doc, shields aren't inferior, or at least not by much. Plenty of people use shields and do well.
Also, shield tanks were more powerful than armour tanks until recently, so your tank comment is meaningless. |

The disparity between basic, advanced, and proto tier suits seems far too great. The only way we can make a reasonable assessment of your statement is if Rattati breaks this data out by mu rating, passive skills, squad/nosquad, Gallogiscans/noGallogiscans. That breakout would show us more clearly what's going on.
For my money it's not tiers, it's playerskill/squads/sharedscan. Claiming it's tiers is like the citing the correlation between skirt length and ovarian cancer.

That's a great way to view the data.
It seems to me that racially, things are pretty balanced. Improvements can always be made, but in terms of killing potential there is little variation between races within a suit type.
Obviously sniping scews the Caldari comando stats. I suspect Minmatar scout's bonus to hacking probably results in a lower kdr than other scouts, who have bonuses that are more helpful for fighting.
As for balance between roles, it's a complex issue. Assaults seem a bit high, scouts and logis seem a bit low. Rattati's recent suggestions for future balance tweaks will probably address these issues.
Though as a said before, these stats can't give a definitive indication of power. |

Good point, I went on a sniping spree yesterday with my cal assault and did maintain a very positive KDR. I tend to when running my suit in the assault function too though, but not nearly as often.
While the data says otherwise, I do feel there is a sort of imbalance still there. Slightly more base eHP or better base recharge delay would help this perhaps.

Same here, especially in Ambush. If my scoutly arse is getting kicked or scanned, I swap out my MN/GA Scout for a CA Scout, and often "wait out" the rest of the match sniping. Same goes if the bulk of the enemy opts to megablob or rooftop camp.
The CalScout numbers fit this narrative. The CalScout numbers also fit the broken hitbox narrative.

Vindication for my Min Assault. Suck it Nerds. On par with the gallente, and the caldari assaul has a better KDR at ADV. Just edging out the caldari assault at proto. Not enough for data to back up all the 'MIN ASSAULT IS SOO OP' threads.
My Minmatar Logi is its rightfull place, and I wear that terrible KD with Pride. After all, if your a logi running around shooting people your doing your job wrong.
Also I'm glad that you rattati came up with this chart instead of rolling out the PC stats.
Can we get a similar comparision for dropships and tanks?

Markets are all about percieved value, just like in IRL trading.
Everybody talks about the Min Assault being OP, so everybody buys it. The more people use it, the more it appears on the kill feed. The more it apears there, the more it plays into the popular idea that it's OP.
So the ADV min assault is the most pupular suit purchased. It still has the 3rd ranked KD of all the ADV assault suits. No matter how many were sold if its was OP as people claim it should have the highest KD.
It isn't.
Also, we should absolutley ignore PC data when balancing for everyone.
e.g. In PC sentinels are the suits with a massive KD disproportiante to the game.
In the entire dust 514 community, Assaults have the highest KD. The freaking proto Caldari scout has a higher KD than Minmatar, gallente and Amarr prototype Sentinels. PC is the worst metric to go by. Balance for that and break the game for everyone.

So, as I thought not much is actually 'wrong' with caldari suits... at least on first glance. I'll give my thoughts on the various statistical differences.
Caldari commando: sniper rifles. Outright I think sniping is the big reason this thing seemingly has a way, way higher kills / spawn. I still feel its incredibly underpowered in terms of tank stats, so people want to stay off the field with it... which means they're sniping with 3x complex damage mods (yay +~38% rail damage!).
Caldari Sentinel: Actually a rather good suit not entirely sure why it's got such high avg KDR, but I suspect it's from long range forge gun gameplay rather than marching into walls of fire with HMG's.
Caldari Scout: This one baffles me but my initial thoughts are because it has absolutely amazing inbuilt recharge stats (3/4 delays, 50hp/sec unmodified). If I had to suggest a nerf, I'd drop the shield recharge on it by 10 points or so.
Caldari Assault: Relatively good regen stats when fit for it, rail rifle & bolt pistol are the common loadout on it.
Caldari logi: With only three equipment slots most callogi's are in a position of providing fire support for their allies and healing them through rep hives, rather than standing behind them and working on them via rep tool.

That isn't necessarily true. If this report were restricted it to the top X% of performers, then you would be correct. We're looking at averages here, not distributions.

here are the average Kill Death Ratios of dropsuits, per race and role for the last 30 days.
The reason why I rigged this up, was to check for myself whether Minsaults are as OP as reported, and it doesn't really look like it.
What I am surprised at, is actually the overall balance of dropsuits, there are a few outliers, f.ex. Galassaults, but I think it's more the weapon, than the suit.

We're only looking at one metric though. This is only scratching the surface and there's a lot more going on.
Yes, they have good KDR's but why is that the case? Is it because of the range of their weapons? Maybe partially? Is it because there's only a small 'elite' group using them and there's less 'bad' players bringind down the average? maybe. Is it because people who use these suits practice an incredible amount of risk avoidance behaviour? Probably true in the case of the cal commando.
One metric doesn't explain everything
I mean I have quite a good idea on why the cal scout and cal commando have the 'best' KDR's, and some ideas on why the assault, logistics and sentinel are up there too but that doesn't mean my ideas are necessarily correct.

The Caldari logi... that poor poor poor shield frame. So far away from all the others. It is good at dying. 3.19 to all the other logis at the high 1.9's and low 2.0's.
Why, oh why? Shielded logis just don't do as well? Poor mobility? Krap for health?... Confidence in shields at the Proto level? The learning that it is just not so? or is the stat based on 3 years ago when the Caldari was the Killer Bee and all assaults ran it as well... could be something there.
