Some TWD visualizations I've made. Most are made possible by the positions of kills/deaths being stored since the 2nd of December 2020.
Interested to know your opinion on why it shows what it shows.
Legend:
white/blue = kill
red = death
DD kill/death positions
JD
Combined match kill/death positions, pairs linked
Interestingly the distribution shows a definite bias to the bottom right corner. The most likely reason seems to be the position of the radar, which is less in the way when the opponent is in the top left area of the screen. This clear bias made us look at the win percentage of each starting side, which was locked to the top left for the challenging team, and the bottom right for the accepting team.
When looking at round wins per side for TWD:
Match wins all time:
TWDD range distribution
R1: 0 - 240px R2: 241 - 640px R3: 641 - 1280px R4: 1281+px
TWDTD range distribution (very low sample size)
From these very early results it looks like draft matches tend to play out a bit more on the safe side/further away from the opponent, which is to be expected.
JD kills/deaths without walls
Looks like the JD map is used pretty much 100% with not that much difference between areas. Only the walls in the top left and right corners show a definite lack of kills/deaths. The bias for fighting on the right side is less pronounced here than it is in DD but is still there.
BD base - kills without walls
Shows the positions of the lining spots to break cram, as well as cram, top bar, and side bars being popular/effective/concentrated areas to kill from.
BD base - deaths without walls
The death data show the high concentration of deaths in the entrance, as well as higher density in spots where terrs get cornered like the ears, bottom corners, and bottom pockets. BDs also show a slight bias to the right.
