Wanted to take a moment to try and maximize visibility for a cool new addition being rapidly developed for the community.

The site is collecting and displaying statistics from USL mixes, giving us a better look at what's actually happening in games beyond what we can see and laugh about from spec!
Right now, you can dig into things like player stats, game results, class usage & win rates, weapon stats, opening kills, side-vs.-side performance, and more. As additional mixes are played, the growing dataset will obviously improve the picture it provides (following what will likely be multiple ELO resets while sorting through the initial balancing woes).
It's exciting technology that could enable a lot of good things going forward.
Historically, a lot of conversations among the community have been observation-based. Having actual data captured gives the community another tool to supplement those observations. Over time, trends that otherwise may have been missed could be highlighted and serve as talking points as we continue to balance the game.
Additionally, there's a public API behind this, which opens the door for additional community tools, displays, bots, or other ideas techies may come up with in the future.
This is still in an early stage, so don't read too much into small sample sizes just yet. The value of the data will grow substantially as more games are played.
Huge credit to Axidus (and Champion, who has been assisting him behind the scenes) for building this and establishing the infrastructure for it. Also a special shoutout to the folks who have already engaged with the tech and provided feedback on it. It's a really cool addition to the game, and I'm excited to see what we're able to do with it as the dataset grows.
Check it out, play some mixes, and help us generate more data!
