It is totally possible for the druid to go over 60% in 120 games if their true winrate was 45%.

If you flip a coin 1,000,000,000 times and then looked at that data in blocks of 100, you will find cases of heads landing 60% of the time.

not enough to be relevant


*anyways we're spamming this thread when it's clear nobody has the absolute facts. Some think patrons crushed druids, some dont. cant ever have a "sureproof" sample so there's no point in continuing this.



BUT WHAT ABOUT DAT KEEPER OF ULDAMAN?!

I'm willing to look at any other evidence and admit I'm wrong if I am, if anyone has better stats that points toward patron beating druid. But apparently that's not the case.

Anecdotes and "feelings" are completely irrelevant. I feel like my opponents have more aces in poker than I do. There's this idea that druid is terrible against patron just cause swipe cant clear patrons, it's not the case.

Im not saying its actually 60% but im definitely saying its 49%+++

people who came in here saying it wasnt a flip (as in patron was 60%+ is why ive been arguing).

There is no way druid could go 60% over 119 games if their real winrate was below 45%. Id wager a lot that the true winrate is between 48-54%

Homey, in statistics and probability, it is very relevant. It's why in poker people run good and bad.... and why multitabling is very effective online. If you play 1000 hands a day vs 10000 hands a day you are more prone to variance. It's why when statisticians and economists collect large data sets.

yes, you're correct 1% of the time that the 45% is lucky enough to get 60% out of 119 games.

i guess ill take the 99% chance that I was right and misleadingly accept it as 100 .

Heads up Patron vs Druid for rollz

my friend's doing the math on the likely hood of patron being 55%+ while going 40% win over 119 sampled games

*

so he ran 100 000 simulations and the odds are 0,05% that the druids were 45% or worse during that 119 games sample.

do you still think the 0,05% is relevant?

I think you just sent your friend on a wild goose chase because you're missing the point. Without thousands of games of data, it's hard to tell which is the favorite.

yeah but my point wasnt who was the favourite at all. You're basically changing what we were talking about.

and i said that % wasnt relevant cause it was so low

so this looks wrong.

Unless we wanna argue about 0,05% chance being relevant or not, which is ridiculous to me. It's not.

Your friend is a noob, no need to run simulations when you can calculate the exact probabilities using the binomial distribution.

Have you taken stats and probability at a college level?

facepalm

fine 0,05% of the time you're right and I'm wrong

I would happily take that wager. Sadly theres no way to test it.

If you wanted is gladly do like a best of 100 where we run lists that were played in tourneys recently, could stream it. Have ppl donate to a prize pool, personally each put up a couple hundred bucks.

Maybe best of 50 is more practical.
