Ummmmm..... is the formula for Rshares in the article correct?
When I cube 2350, I get 12,977,875,000
which, divided by 1,000= 12,977,875 Rshares/win (with no starters, 100% ECR, and no Bonuses)
Even when assuming 1% ECR- that's still 129,778.75 Rshares/win, not 12,977
or are you assuming the 'average' team (in Gold) wins at 1% ECR, with 90% 'Starter' cards? Which would then get you your 12,977 number.
You are right, the formula has to be wrong.
If you take Rshares = rating^3/1000^2 and plug in the numbers for middle ratings of each league, 550, 1450, 2350, 3250, 4150 for bronze to champion you get the Avg Shares/Win in the table. This is then assuming 100% ECR and no bonuses and no starter cards.
I am also wondering if the 100 chests data is wrong, jumps a lot from bronze to silver (a factor of almost 10), silver to gold increases only for about 15% and then even decreases when going from gold to diamond...
