Testing a new Rule for possible implementation

[BigBadHarve]

you can't attack it when the no energy icons event is out.

Incorrect actually - you CAN attack DoW even if events like 'Shockwave Rocks the World' are in play. This came from Nick Williams - the wording on DoW confuses the issue but the activators used aren't considered 'attacks.'

Also I understand the concept of the "activator dump" for DoW, but has anyone written an official rule for it. I tried searching old posts, but couldn't find were its first mentioned. I understand it's an unofficial rule, but it would be nice if it was written somewhere as if official.

I don't dig this rule. Battle sites are way more powerful than AH decks. There's no reason for this.

This is not what tournament stats show from the win Percentages of Any Hero Vs. Battlesites

Care to cite your argument?

Though I do need to run numbers to include 2015.

Thank you good Sir.

Somehow I had weird numbers and can't replicate them, but the data should be accurate now.

From March 2013 until October 2015, there were 663 matches played in total (30 byes as well).

• 292 were Battlesite vs Anyhero
  
• 271 were Anyhero vs Anyhero
  
• 100 were Battlesite vs Battlesite
  

From those 292 Battlesite vs Anyhero matches:

• 120 Battlesite wins
  
• 172 Anyhero wins
  

Just counting this year's tournaments only (March 2015 to October 2015), 295 matches were played in total (+7 byes).

• 113 were Battlesite vs Anyhero
  
• 158 were Anyhero vs Anyhero
  
• 24 were Battlesite vs Battlesite
  

In those 113 Battlesite vs Anyhero matches:

• 47 Battlesite wins
  
• 66 Anyhero wins
  

The numbers don't lie, it's still about 58 to 42.

That said, I should have a new page on the site that should generate these on the fly for whatever numbers you need.
