Stickerbook "Cool Stats" page is incorrect (PC)

Various information is incorrect, such as kill and death totals, k/d ratios and other information. It doesn't seem to be consistent. Death totals seems correct, but kill total for all variants of that character type is off. It's greater than just a simple sum of all the kills. Also k/d ratio isn't correct either. If you simply divide the players vanquished by your death total, it's off from what is displayed there for some reason. (PC version btw, if it matters)

  • ... never mind. I just figured out that KO's include deaths via potted plants and summoned zombies, which don't count against K/D ratio. In that case I'd rather have two separate KO statistics in that case, one for pvp and one for pve, for the sake of clarity.

    Okay, there are still clear discrepencies in the stats page, especially amongst the DLC characters.

    Firstly the sky trooper and landscaper's K/D ratio is wrong. The ratio is taking the KO's of the arctic trooper and plumber and the vanquishes of the correct variant. The wrestling star seems fine, but I haven't played the archeologist yet so I can't say anything about that one for now.

    Also the vanquish total for each class adds up to more than the individual number of kills each variant has, though there may be some hidden variable at work here. Same thing with the player total, the total number of player vanquishes is greater than the sum of the total vanquishes per class. Again, this may be due to a hidden variable, but nothing is clear.

    In any case the real issue is with the k/d ratio of the sky trooper and landscaper, and possibly the archeologist. I'll update this post after playing a few matches with him.

    I checked my Foot Soldier and Engineer stats.  Compared them against Sky Trooper and Landscaper.

    Add them all up and I'm 200 some short.  Seems reasonable that I KO'd 200 people on the base Foot Soldier.. numbers seem to make sense.

    Engineer I came up with 100 short... would make sense to me I KO'd about 100 people with base Engineer.

    Maybe I'm looking at it wrong but I think the base stats for the Class, also adds in the KO's you got while playing as the base class because it does not have it's own indiviual stats like extra chars do.

  • Update: The Archaeologist was fine.

    Proof of problems with Stats: Soldier Stats page & Engineer Stats page

    With the sky trooper we see he has 7 player vanquishes and 5 KO's, which means a ratio of at least 1.4, assuming every KO was by a player. However the stat we see is around 0.30 which is the around the same as 7 divided by 23, which is the number of KO's the Artic trooper has.

    Similiarly for the landscaper, he has 23 vanquishes and 22 KO's which should leave his a k/d ratio of 1.04 or 1.05 depending on whether the stats page rounds up or not. However we see a ratio of 11.5! Right next to it we see that the plumber only has 2 KO's, which is convenient, as we can see that 23 divided by 2 = 11.5, the exact number.

    Also if you add the vanquishes for the all the footsoldier variants including the Base footsoldier, it should total 499 vanquishes, but the Overall vanquish count is 514, which is clearly higher by a significant amount. Similarly for the engineer, the total vanquish count should be 652, but instead we see 661 vanquishes.

    Now as I mentioned before it may tally up the total vanquishes slightly differently, such as counting vanquishes by summoned zombies or potted plants, however the k/d ratio is clearly wrong, at least for my stickerbook on the PC version.
