Overall:
team #1 scored 32k more in S25 vs S24
team #10 scored 8k more in S25 vs S24
team #25 scored 5k less in S25 vs S24
team #50 scored 7k more in S25 vs S24
team #75 scored 1.5k less in S25 vs S24
team #100 scored 24k less in S25 vs S24
Not sure what this means at the moment, what I do know is that scores had steadily been increasing since season 16 across the T100, there was a slight dip in S24 vs S23 at the bottom, but nothing like this…
** Alright… so my quick math failed me… i have entered all this into my season tracking spreadsheet found Here and have edited this post with better math… most notably, the #75 team was no where near the drop off i reported originally, making just the #100 team the standout… this makes me feel a little better about the state of things, but with such a steep drop off from season 24, there is something to learn from these numbers…
Here’s the view from nowhere near top 100. Roaches had been hovering around #500 for 6 seasons, but the last two seasons we’ve been dropping like a stone, down to #722 this time. The alliance membership has been consistent, only 3 changes this year, but the guys just aren’t scoring the points they were previously. We’re not exactly verbose, asking for feedback often gets no response, but what I do glean is that it’s now just too much effort to pass and stay above even 300 for some of them. The best results were in the 4* Punisher event, probably for two reasons; firstly, they were using loaners against loaners, secondly it was the mad rush for points at the end of the season.
They still play every day, and rosters are slowly improving, but my feeling is that engagement is way down in anything other than Daily Deadpool. Maybe the changes to PvP will bring the fun back, but Season 26 is not looking too promising at the moment.
Not to derail your thread, but I agree… This trend doesn’t bode well for season 26, or the future… This was the lowest the #100 team had scored since season 16 (adjusting all seasons to 10 events + sim)… I have been tracking season results, and when you commented on the number of alliances being far less than last season, I looked into the point differential at these benchmarks… Wouldn’t have guessed this since every other post regarding pvp speaks to point inflation, and the proliferation of cupcakes… I would have thought the opposite would be happening, that these points inflate the shards raising all scores… But apparently this isn’t happening, outside of the top 10
We are going into a season that will start off with new the new MMR tested in Magnetic Mayhem and made permanent in Nefarious Foes. I didn’t see much of a difference in MM, and it’s hard to get an impression from an off season event like Foes, but there were some reports here that things were easier on the low end.
