It is my belief that we need some sort of database for competitive ban/pick statistics.

I'll be completely honest, I'm a terrible HoN player, so, I've no real business dealing with competitive HoN. However, I do love analyzing metagames and deriving statistics from said analysis (I'm a mathematician, what can I say). So, I found it greatly disappointing that unlike over in DotA, where I know of a couple places with rigorous listings of ban and pick information for tournament matches, I can't find such a place for HoN.

So, I've got a question and a statement to follow up said question:

Is there such a sit and for some reason I just can't find it? If there isn't might I be able to request that people list ban and pick info for individual matches and who won or lost with every match posting they make? Said information is quite important. Even better, it would be amazing if we had some sort of database listing all of this information, since it would allow for teams and crazy mathematicians like me to analyze the metagame with considerable efficiency.

Wait for replay system to be implemented. As well as CM.

Then just look up the replay page and find the bans and picks.
Right now if someone doesn't write them down immidiately, they are gone for good (because who cares about the bans when your in the middle of a game)

me thinks your not newb D8 actually, its the first one i have in attention after opening this section.

they SHOULD HAVE a database about it, but not necessarily open to the public as much as you were saying. It is critical to have one since balancing lies from the competitive scene, but in pubs.... meh pubs is pubs nothing is special about it nor a basis of balancing issues.

relax, s2 is still new in this type of genre but they will make sure to have a response about these kind of matter.
