New season benchmarks news

[wintry junco]

that was legit it xd

[hazy folio]

Yes I got that the first time

[wintry junco]

thanks

[lavish rivet]

What is going on in here

[limpid thicket]

oh

thats impossible

[wintry junco]

do we know what formula is used to calculate the total?

[hazy folio]

Anyway, Air Varied should be more consistent now

[wintry junco]

would be quite interesting

[quasi light]

google harmonic mean

[lavish rivet]

Is there a time kovaaks benches are official?

[quasi light]

that's the formula

[hazy folio]

=iferror(trunc(harmean(G3:G18)), 0)

This is the formula

It's in an iferror, cuz it can only take harmonic mean if all the cells have an energy value

[wintry junco]

harmonic..... bruh i legit confused that with an instrument

i need to take up english lessons

[lavish rivet]

These big brain formulas I might as well get all the scores😎

[hazy folio]

lmao

[strong nimbus]

@hazy folio what your think about randomizer bots order in ground varied and air varied? like bot 2,5,4,1,3 and sometimes bot 4,3,1,5,2? or is a bad ideia/not possible in kovaak?

[hazy folio]

it also truncates the value

so it's a whole number

and rounds it down

[wintry junco]

rng x20

[strong nimbus]

no

same bots

[wintry junco]

ah u mean the order

[quasi light]

actually never studied math so these formulas look like magic scrolls to me...

[wintry junco]

well it would just make it more frustrating

[lavish rivet]

Randomized order is interesting but starting hard is easier

So you would restart for hard bots first

[quasi light]

I don't think bringing random order would change anything tho

ppl train each individual bot, the order doesn't matter to them rly

[lavish rivet]

I would be fine with it tbh but I would feel bad for Astra players

Mentally

Having to restart to get God acc on hardest bot

[wintry junco]

yes but especially if we take Voltaic Air as an example, youd want to ALWAYS get bot 7 first since its mostly the run killer

[strong nimbus]

i thought about it because ingame doesn't know which bot or our opponent is going to do

[lavish rivet]

Good for practice in a routine, I don't think so for benches

[quasi light]

Maybe it's just me but recognising the bot pattern takes literally first strafe

[lavish rivet]

For me it's the distance

I'm coco for benches

[timber sluice]

I actually disagree with this to an extent

you can actually predict what you're opponents will do in certain situations

at least at higher levels

cause most people play similarly to an extent

[lavish rivet]

Most good players anti mirror so I think strafe scenarios will help you more than air tbh

Air for mouse control

Strafe for translating ingame

[daring trout]

is antimirror just strafing the opposite direction of the person?

[strong nimbus]

yes, but the other bots are randomized, so I don't think it would do any good to memorize the first bot (the hardest one) since it can be caught by another difficult bot, so think like this if an ingame enemy appears in front of you out of nowhere, there's no way know if his movement will be fast strafes or long strafes

[wintry junco]

Yes

[patent trail]

where can I find the new benchmarks in aimlabs?

[wintry junco]

I dont see any reason why that would improve the quality of the benches. If it aint broke dont fix it

[wintry junco]

#resources

Actually not whoops

@patent trail https://bit.ly/VTxALprogressS2

[strong nimbus]

most high rank players memorize the common order of bots and it helps them achieve higher scores

[wintry junco]

U fr?

[strong nimbus]

so… jade on gpv not memorized the bots order but nova memorized bots order

[wintry junco]

Uh no

U can „memorize“ the order after u play it 3 times

And it legit makes no difficulty difference

U still gotta hit the bot

Not like it has a consistent movement patterns

[strong nimbus]

i think the AIO idea is good

[strong nimbus]

but I would need a way to not have so much rng

[narrow rapids]

Bots don't have consistent tracks

they are randomized

if they were consistent the WHOLE time and EVERY time you got that bot it wouldn't be a good benchmark

because then it's more memorization than aim

[strong nimbus]

in the game I don't know how to have the same performance of voltaic ranks because enemies don't have a movement pattern, there's no way to know, but in kovaak maps we know every move a bot will make

i believe it

[wintry junco]

Yes!

[narrow rapids]

we don't know every move a bot will make

in kovaaks

u can see that by the fact that in the scenarios the bot starts by going left or right

most of the time right

[strong nimbus]

yeye but i know the order, i know bot 1 is fast strafes and bot 2 long strafes

[narrow rapids]

oh you mean the bots order
