Reworked playstyle scoring, an average MMR line, dossier view analytics

We reworked the playstyle formulas, the rating chart now has an average line on it, and there's analytics for views of your dossier page.

The reworked playstyle radar

Hunter archetypes got an update: 3 of the 6 axes were redone and one more was added.

The rebuilt seven-axis playstyle radar on a dossier, with the new Risk appetite axis, and the lines beside it reading in per-match and percentage units

PvP focus used to be the share of hunter kills among all your kills (AI included). It is now hunter kills per match.

Objective was banishes divided by banishes plus deaths - which brings together "do you play for the boss" and "do you survive", two different questions. It is now boss banishes per match.

Clue scout was weighed against your kill pace. It is now clues per boss banish - how many clues you scout out for each lair you open.

And a seventh axis has appeared: Risk appetite - deaths to other hunters per match. Whether you throw yourself into a fight or play to get out alive was never on the radar; it was hiding in the denominator of the Objective axis. Now it's a dimension of its own, and it affects your archetype.

Most hunters' archetypes will change: the algorithm changed, so every user was recalculated. The set of archetypes is the same.

We also made a few small fixes to the archetypes. It's still not a 100% picture of your playstyle, just a feature for fun, but it's a little more accurate now.

An average through the noise

MMR moves every match, and the rating line on the dossier page turned into mush. Now the chart also carries a dashed average line over the last 180 rating changes, so the trend is visible.

An MMR chart on a dossier: the jagged rating line with a dashed average running through it, and a legend reading "avg - last 180 changes"

The caption under the chart names the window, and hovering a point shows both numbers: your absolute rating at that moment, and where the average was running. The average is computed from the rating changes themselves, so it reads the same at any zoom.

Dossier view analytics

The view counter under your name can now be opened. Press it on your own dossier and you get a per-day chart of the last 30 days, with the same day / week / month switch the activity chart has.

Per-day view counting only started now, so the chart begins from this point, even though the total above it counts from earlier.

The feature is available from the Contractor tier upward - along with everything else at that tier.

Everything else

  • On KDA and K/D goals you can now hover the "to go" value for an estimate of how many more kills will get you to your target if you stop dying.
  • Plus a pile of small bugfixes and stability work.
