    Is there any cases where there is no correlation between something like win rate when you draw it vs win rate when it's in your deck overall? One could think that it's just a sample size issue to derive one from the other, no?

    In the cases of some very popular cards like PW:Shield, win rate when it's in a deck doesn't really paint the picture of how powerful the card is.... because it's in basically every deck. Showing the win rate of PWS will simply output whatever the win rate for Priest is, where as win rate when drawn can give some idea of how powerful two cards that go in every deck are in relation to one another.

    It must close to your in house system considering almost all of the cards you removed from Arena for the bad classes matched up as being the lowest rated cards in HearthArena's statistics.

    Not sure that would always be true, I honestly assumed the ratings for HA were hand picked based on hearthstone experience and not based on data because it's so difficult to choose which metrics are relevant.

    Does Team 5 take on board Kripps opinions through his videos?

    Not sure what this means, but sure I watch most every kripp video because he's a smart guy that makes entertaining and insightful content. I know lots of other people on the team watch them too.

    Prince Malchezar is performing worse than Pit Fighter? I found that fact absolutely astonishing! I would have expected his effect to at least be a small upside in arena.

    Pretty surprising to me too :). I'm actually very curious how HearthArena comes up with a card rating. There are tons of ways try and understand how powerful a card is. Win rate when you draw, when you play, when its in a deck at all, normalized vs class win rate, normalized vs win rate of a specific archetype. None of them are perfect, and there are way more metrics than I just listed to consider. Interesting conversation to have.
