We know that snipers occupy an uniquely high KDR bracket and that snipers favor Caldari suits. Is it not reasonable to assume that these Caldari KDR statistics are being inflated by outliers?

For a few samples, specifically the Calmando, I completely agree.
In others, though? The Callogi?

No idea what's up the CalLogi; if pressed to guess, I'd say something to do with myofibs. Either way, if this were my dataset to manipulate, I'd remove from it kills from sniper rifles. Why let an easily removed outlier affect interpretation?

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.
That's pretty good rationale. Very logical. I wouldn't be surprised if this was largely true

To be honest, this is of course the right thing to do, just like with weapons, KDR plus use and actual effectiveness. I am trying to find the right combination of a key performance indicator (kpi) that just tells us whether or not something is relatively overpowered.
If I told you all these are the same, except 50% kills are performed by Minsaults, we would have a problem. Just like with the Rail Rifle before. But if the Kills are split within the Assault Role fairly equally, and the KDR is fairly equal, then I would be less concerned.
That's why I am running an experiment whether the right formula is K/S*relativeKill% for weapons. That quickly identifies weapons that kill a lot and have a high KDR, and isolates cases where KDR is good, but Kills are low, and thirdly, low KDR, low Kill weapons stand out like a sore thumb.

What about 2 separate statistics for comparison by a linking 3rd statistic?
1.The first is what you put in the original post -- KDR per suit. (with the aforementioned total kills listed as well) 2. KDR per gun 3. Most commonly used gun per suit (when spawned)
It isn't comprehensive data by any means, but it would specifically highlight outliers and give us a pretty solid idea of what type of gameplay people are using when playing each suit. It would also be fairly simple and easy to digest. It wouldn't be hard to figure out a formula from there I'd reckon. |

Here's a question for Rattati: we see that MinAssault KDR is close to the same as the other Assault suits. Now how about this data: what did those MinAssaults kill? Which suits were they best at killing, and which suits killed MinAssault the most?
We can't look at KDR of suits and declare balance. If the majority (save some outliers) are using one particular suit, then it's logical for it to have a fairly normal KDR: not only does it get most of the kills (since the majority are using it), but it would logically also do most of the dying (since the majority of players are using it.)

why do you people not realize that the reason caldari seem to have inflated kd is not because they are at a good place but because of the amount of players that use them for sniping, making those numbers inflate |

Exactly, how many cal logis do you actually see on the field? They're used for (redline) sniping due to the amount of high slots and CPU/PG

Lol and people laughed at me when I said the assaults were more or less balanced.
Well... Haha I told you so.
Interesting data, tough to say how usual playstyles affect the data (although a clear example is the calmando sniper style).
Edit: Hey Rat could you provide the standard deviation or variance for each category as well.. Just curious. |

I dont believe the cal section of this chart first of all cal suits of any varient have the lowest use in the dust community (except scout) so if their is one cal for every 3 gal min or amar of course our numbers might be off. second kdr could imply sniping e.c.t
Id like to see total amount of players for each race who played during this period of chart then id take it seriously allot of people who still run caldari are the most expierenced players whove learned how to deal with cals low survivabilty.

Loads of people use caldari suits. Im not saying their arent cal users but for evry battle u see one cal user you see 2 of every other race.(just example not literal). But pretty close in my opinion |

I agree that KDR isn't the sole metric to go by. At the same time i'm seeing a lot of people on these forums rejecting this data because of thier own personal opions, more or less along the lines of 'it killed me it must be OP', or 'its popular it must be OP'.
All in all its looking at the data backward. Instead of
'here's the data what is OP and what isnt'
we have
'the Minmatar Assault is OP! Where is the data to justify this? But- i've been complaining how could i have been wrong and the data be right? Must find another source'
hence my 'SUCK IT NERDS' comment. Because there are few trhings i hate more than the second line of reasoning. Screw the emotional state of the forums and screw PC, that is no way to balance dust at all.

This data is inaccurate sadly.
There's no info of how many suits were used.
For example. Sure caldari assault has 3.5+ kdr here but we don't know how many suits were used. Probably not much, that's why the score is at equal level as of the rest. Because there's way more amarr, gal and min assaults out there and thier KDR is divided by higher number.
