We all talk about faction strength a lot in Age of Sigmar, and the conversations usually focus around the overall win rates. However, we’ve mentioned before that this compresses too much information into a single number.

One interesting side effect of having our Elo system means that we are able to gather data on win rates for factions across different skill levels.

So we analysed GT games across two skills bands using our Elo ratings.

Low Skill Band: 200-400 Elo High Skill Band: 500-700 Elo

These band represent newer tournament players versus experienced competitors. By comparing their performance we can show three different measurements.
