How to Read These Charts

These charts do not indicate that players stopped playing one faction and started playing another. Few players go to multiple events in these short periods. Instead, this represents distinct sets of players attending events with a different mix of factions.

Meta Shifts - VP Scoring

How does VP scoring change over time?

July 2025 Balance Update (2025-07-23 - 2025-09-13) vs Tomb World (2025-09-13 - present)

How to Read These Charts

These violin plots show how Victory Points are distributed across games:

  • Width = Frequency: The wider the shape at any point, the more games ended with that VP score. Think of it like a sideways histogram - fat areas mean common scores, thin areas mean rare scores.
  • Dashed Line = Median: The horizontal dashed line shows the median (middle value) - half of all games scored above this line, half below.
  • Box = Middle 50%: The rectangular box highlights where the middle 50% of scores fall (from the 25th to 75th percentile). Most "typical" games end up in this range.

Example: If the violin is widest at 3 VP, that means 3 VP was the most common score. If it's thin at 0 VP and 6 VP, those extreme scores were rare.

Faction Diversity Metrics

How likely is it to face the same team multiple times at an event?

2025-09-13 - present

How to Read These Charts

This shows how likely a player attending a typical event will play against the same faction 2+ times:

High risk (≥20%)
Medium risk (10-19%)
Low risk (5-9%)
Minimal risk (<5%)

How it's calculated: This number is estimated by looking at the faction composition of each event and computing the probability of facing the same faction 2+ times assuming random pairings each round. The calculation considers the number of players using each faction and the number of rounds in the event.
