Some one pointed out that I had an error in my charts. He assumed the error because the websites he uses showed different results.

The discrepancy was real. The difference in our calculations was what data we used. I use the global kills tally, and the websites use the sum of the maps kills

I checked the last data grab for the tier in question and it turns out the Seafarers rests map total was 34370 but the global total was above 50K.

Should these numbers be different? If so why?

I’m attaching the api snapshot that I am referring to.

They really shouldn’t — the map totals are computed on the API frontend as the sum of all the maps. The per-map kills/deaths are the authoritative values. I’m gonna track down why this is happening and have it fixed sometime this week. Here’s a tracking issue.

Just deployed the fix. For the interested, the global sums were including kills/deaths from Obsidian Sanctum, which isn’t listed in the maps array (also OS doesn’t count towards PPK when PPK is enabled).

Sorry about that

Thanks. I saw the fix in the tracking issue.

No harm done, other than challenges to the accuracy of my data :P
