Last week I created a reddit post containing Class Statistics after the first day of TGT Arena. We are now one week in, and with over 190,000 decks made with the HearthArena drafting assistant in the past week, we have some new statistics to share.
The biggest news is that according to the following stats, for the first time in Hearthstone history, Mage is no longer the best class in Hearthstone Arena! With the announcement of Bren Brode that TGT cards are offered more (this seems to be 20-25% according to our stats), Mage's classic cards like Flamestrike and Fireball are offered even less than we initially expected, and everyone's favorite Bolster is offered even more!
Sadly, it seems that class-wise the Arena is more imbalanced than it was before. Before, classes were all in a 0.9 wins range (4.1-5.0 wins) region. Now it seems this range has almost doubled (3.5 - 5.3 wins)! To me this is quite shocking.
It means AWDCTA's #ArenaWarriorsMatter is not exaggerated at all! Do note that there might be others reasons for this change in range: for example the amount of statistics, TGT still being new etc. However, it's definitely something we will continue to take a look at in the upcoming weeks.
Please note that for all these classes the average wins is far above the normal average in Arena. HearthArena users intend to win 61% of their games compared to the average of 50% for non-heartharena users.
If HearthArena were to give better advice for a certain class this may also influence the class win rates. Though, we currently have no reason to believe HearthArena's algorithm would perform betters for certain classes.
