GetawhaleI'm curious to hear what your thoughts are on the whole "people who play longer get higher stats" thing. Because I know it can become an issue based on how the scoring ends up being done. A brief experiment with fantasy stats was tried in UGC and this is what was found.. whoever played the longest games got the best stats.
And to use a real world example.. because ESEA is fresh in my head. Looking, for example, at something like most frags. Members of Mad Men topped this list - it goes YouMustMike, seymour, and then some others. You don't even see a Froyotech member until 12th. You see a similar thing with Damage, with three Mad Men members in the top 5. This is nothing against Mad Men - they were one of the top 4 NA teams this season. But should they be the Fantasy All-Star team just because they played at least an hour more of game time than everyone else? Shade only popped 112 ubers to indust's 233 - does that mean indust is twice as good as Shade? (All jokes aside?)
I am not criticizing, because I know you're a smart dude. I'd just like to hear you talk about how this can be tackled a little more, preferably without it just turning into a big game of comparisons to real sports. In my mind this is the toughest obstacle.
frags per minute is an important stat when looking at an overall comparison
