Win ratio visualisation: bar chart change proposal

As Kosh said, this is definitely one where we can’t please everyone.

However, I really like the new way the bars are, so I’m delighted that zormerton did that: it’s made the difference for me between “never look at that chart, can’t grok it” to “understand what that chart is telling me in a glance”.

It’s also good to hear at least one other person liking it :slight_smile:

Really, it is not even that simple since the factor normalizing the horizontal axis is different between strong and weak players. You can argue that the area contains the info but it is well known we humans suck at comparing areas. Here is the break down I put in the pull request.

There is indeed no perfect viz for such a multivariate problem. I think the pie chart brings most of the rest of the info one might want to grasp at a glance.

A problem I’ve noticed with the bar chart is that some months are unreadable for players that were very active during one month. I might look at how to rescale the height when zooming.
