Direct Strike – Statistics (sc2dsstats)

starcraft 8 - Direct Strike – Statistics (sc2dsstats)

At the start of this year I created a
dsweb desktop - Direct Strike – Statistics (sc2dsstats)


statistic tool for Direct Strike created by Tya to get some numbers for my (and most others) favorite custom map. A recap of the development process can be found here

After one year I think it is a good time to summarize the data 🙂

With the statistic tool you can upload your anonymized DS statistics to my website – at the moment we have ~70 participants with a total of ~36k replay statistics uploaded – Thank you! The statistics are based on that data (3v3 games only).

Replays where one player left two minutes before the game end do not count for this statistic – which is the case in ~18% of the games in Commander mode and ~29% in Standard mode. I guess in Standard it is faster to realize that the game is lost with no hope to come back, but I would prefer these numbers to be lower ..

In June we had this global Winrate with ~16k replays in the database and Alarak as a clear leader:

Winrate June 2019

This is the Winrate today (18/12/2019):

Winrate Dezember

Tychus is the most played commander but he is struggling with his performance. Because every unit is so expensive one wrong one ruins the day. Short hint: Start with Tychus, do not build Nikara, try to build one unit per round (delay upgrades) and try to micro (at least Tychus and Cannonballs).

Stetmann as the latest Commander released for DS in August did have a rough start. His whole game plan is based on Gary – if you don’t build Gary/Super Gary you already lost. And if you do, but your opponent has tools to snipe your Gary you are doomed, too. But you have tools to fight and with good Aura management you can stand (my Winrate with Stetmann is 75% with 43 games played).

The top Commanders are Swann, Dehaka, Karax and Alarak. Swanns Laserdrill with constant damage does help a lot in the early game and Science Vessels almost always stack up with the other waves at some point in the late game. Karax is holding his position in the top four despite the lack of decent anti-air abilities. I don’t think the Purifier Beam has that much impact to the game, most of the time it is just a ‘win more’ modifier. And Dehaka with itself as self-growing tank it is almost irrelevant what you build behind – as long as you build something ;), and as soon as your Impalers and Creeperhosts stack up it is very hard to break it.

It is a bit surprising to me that Kerrigan is not in the Top three – I guess there are still too many options to not build Hydras 😉

Commanders played

Tychus, Dehaka and Nova are the most played Commanders, but overall it is well balanced.

Timeline Alarak Stukov

The most significant changes over the last year are Alarak and Stukov. Alarak got the ability to build more than one Mothership – which seemed to increase the chances of messing it up ;). Stukov did benefit from his revamp in May (mostly the Diamondback range and the Infested Liberater Buff). But he is still my worst commander – I guess because of refusing to build the little ones (and Banshees).

In the commander league, where experienced players played some rated 3v3 games, Stukov is the runner up behind Dehaka, but the sample size with ~50 games (150 matchups) might be too small to be significant.

When it comes to the best Commander composition, Swann and Dehaka seem to be decent teammates with their stack potential.

In the latest Commander Tournament finals – which Lolz, Chnes and I won – our unit composition was Kerrigan with Vorazun or Abathur and Dehaka or Alarak.

While this is all about the Commander mode and most of the uploader play Commander mode there are also some stats for Standard mode – the sample size is not significant but maybe we will be able to see some changes after the latest patch.

Standard stats

I guess Liberaters > Disruptor > Vipers is the summary 😉

Overall I think the game is very well balanced and Tya did a fantastic job. You can fight with every Commander and even Zagara can win vs Kerrigan 😉

Thank you to everyone who uploaded their anonymized replay-stats that made this project possible!

Have fun!
