Improve Picked Hero Overview

[phil-zxx]

I was wondering if it's worth updating the picked hero overview https://www.w3champions.com/OverallStatistics/heroes-winrates:

1. Group by Race (HU, ORC, UD, NE & Tavern) and sort by picked hero count within each group. That way, it's a lot easier (and more intuitive) to find heroes in the graph.
2. Instead of showing a total count, show a percentage (normalised by race). That way, we can actually compare whether e.g. HU players choose AM more than NE players choose DH.

I've attached examples for 1on1 & FFA. Happy to help, if necessary.

Yeah good idea. Would be awesome if you can help with implementation.

On the site we use ChartJS for all the graphs.

This PR should give some clues as to how stacked bars could be implemented:

chartjs/Chart.js#3563

I will start working on this. I don't have permissions yet to assign this to myself.

Looks nice, how about one color per race? Makes the coloring more clear. For example between NE and UD, the colors are hard to distinguish. Like blue for HU, red orc, teal ne, purple ud and yellow for neutral.
I assigned your name btw.

I really like the look of it. Maybe also add some (white) space between each race; as in my original suggestion (since it helps visually to have each race in its own block).

@phil-zxx @modmoto Here are some updated screenshots. It might be a bit tricky to get spacing in there but I'll give it a go.

Looks really good!

Without having the played race, the percentage will not be correct.

I think that the endpoint will need to be updated to return the played race as well.

The way it is now, when calculating by race, if they picked a tavern hero that will throw off the percentages. Also, this way one can filter by race as well.

I think it would also be helpful to filter by season.

I'll put in a pull request for what I have and then create new issues to address the above concerns.

there will always be an issue when a random player picks only tavern heroes. maybe filter out random players entirely? Should be less than 10% of games in solo.

Yeah I was thinking about how random and tavern heroes affected this.

My thought is that if we can get picked race and then actual race and group the data by that then we can add a drop-down to filter this in a meaningful way.

I think these dropdowns would need to be added to add more usefulness to the data:

• season
• race
• for this I think it would contain this:
  All
  Human
  Orc
  NE
  Undead
  Random - Human
  Random - Orc
  Random - NE
  Random - Undead

In the future it may be nice to have one for map as well.
