I've been playing quite extensively for the last two months and reading these forums for the last four weeks. I'd still consider myself a ME3 Newbie... so here's some of my thoughts/ feelings from that perspective:

1) the Juggy - I have done 10 extractions with him and I do like his survivability A LOT.
2) I am SOO NOT able to solo Gold and Plat with "easernaut" Heck, I am not even able to solo Silver yet with any kit
3) Forum users of [insert any game here] tend to be EITHER the top 1% of AWESOME or well posers. They are the ones who CAN solo Plat with a Vanguard wielding just a predator... But they DO NOT represent the other 99% of us who wish we could.
4) The average player is casual... maybe we do some research on forums or wiki's but mostly we just want to play and have fun. We don't  care if it takes 22... 25 or 28 minutes for a Gold match, we're just bleeping pumped to have completed, and our manifests are not overflowing with UR's neither are our mods, gear or consumables...

I spend an hour or so each day minimum researching (while at work) to become a better player, I study suggested builds, vids, weapon suggestions etc... and I'm getting better (I think) The long time vets like to complain about "newbies using easynauts" but without new people ... this game WILL die. SO bear with us, once we've learned to survive a bit better with other kits, once we've learned to shoot and move ... then we'll learn to shoot more accurately and move... then we'll learn to quickscope headshot and move.... Maybe THEN we will drop the crutches and wield the EPEEN sword, or we won't... I've always been a PERMA Pugger, as I don't know or am not friends with REALLY AWESOME players.. I'm "friend requested" by people new like me, that think I am funny, cool, or something, but we're not LEET, yet. SO allow us our baby steps, please.

Am I hipster then?



I would like to see LIFETIME, ie since launch, stats too. I think I'd be interesting to see total popularity. The last three months has the skewing of everyone trying out the new shiny toys.

I just thought I would share some interesting stats. These stats are from the last 3 months of play time. Stay tuned because I will add more stats when I have time.

Top 15 Most Played Kits (All Difficulties)
15. Human Male Vanguard (2.00%)

Breakdown by class (All Difficulties)
6. Vanguard 12.0%

Would it be correct to say in 1 in 6 vanguards being played is a human male? Fascinating!

I also want to see the bottom 10 kits (probably all volus?), but I'd be happy learning anything, really.

As a baseline, I believe with 65 kits, if everything was equally popular, we'd have every kit at 1.54% (1 / 65).

Jugg gets #1

Now I remember why I don't pug anymore... scrubs are just bad and should feel bad.

It makes me sad that my two favorite classes are the least played.

It makes me depressed to see that 10 in every 100 characters used is the Juggernaut and that 25% of soldiers used are the Juggernaut, and that another 1/6 is the Destroyer (likely missile glitchers).Where's the love for AR and Marksman?

Shocking

[Daxamite]

I do not see GIs or CollectorAdepts a lot on gold, but otherwise that 2nd list seems pretty accurate to what i encounter in PUGs, although not what friends play. vanguards are def v rare on gold. I never see them among pugs or friends, and I only tend to play drellguard when on host. Havent even seen a kroguard in ages. unfortunately all i do tend to see is Juggernaut and AI bots and krolords.

Hmm, interesting, these stats tally with my own experiences of characters but the classes are a bit of a surprise, Soldiers that popular eh?

Absolutely no surprises about the Geth Jugg being top selection...

[Arkevilex]

I feel like a minority...

Asari Vanguard 100% of the time on all difficulties.

My main worry about these stats is that it will convince the devs to get rid of the diversity that has made this game so successful. Half the fun lies in trying out different kits with different builds with different weapon loadouts with different gear, etc. These top 15 are mostly weapon platforms that require little to no strategy in playing them well, I know that makes me sound like an elitist douche but let's be real here. Do we want a game that is so easy that we can walk through it with our eyes closed or do we want a bit of a challenge? I love the synergy that some classes have with each other, I love the combo system, I love mixing things up on a regular basis. Sure, there are days when I want things to be easier but in general, more options is better if possible. Please don't forget about the rest of us that don't play with the "top 15", some of us have sunk in more than 800 hours into this game and don't want ME4 to take away all of our choices.

Don't worry, we are very happy with the diversity of kits we were able to add. I think it was a huge part of the success of multiplayer.

SALARIAN POwaAA!

p.s. I played all 2012 year and now these stats from 3 last month - many good and loyal to ME players already done playing mp, so there are no stats on what kits/classes they played and especially because of the ME team is done with balance changes and dlc's... oh and I forgot one thing - the mighty stoooooore rng......

Agreed, you guys did a great job of class diversity and also on weapon diversity.  This is very clear when people start threads about how to spec classes or which classes or weapons are favoured.  There is always a very wide variety of styles, builds and fav classes in peoples posts.  A good player makes pretty well every class or weapon viable.  The balance changes were also a big help in this regard despite some of the whining that went on about them.

[Eric Fagnan]

 I've posted the 10 least played kits.

[_Ai_]

there are many different classes/characters, BUT why do we need for example infiltrator human male and infiltrator human female? In every class there are 2 absolutely the same characters with same powers, one difference - gender... and this is happening only with humans...

Drell guards that low on the totem, wow. ToLazytoName will be outraged at the lack of love for the Volus. Time to start playing some of those classes.

[FFANDRADE]

Haha, no Volus

[Daxamite]

I play drellguard on gold - but only on host!

the only Human infiltrator ive seen in the last year (so even on silver) is when Boogieman plays it. 


i like volus on silver but i dont score v well, never dared take one to gold. Cant say ive seen anyone doing it either tbh

I will never play him off-host. I'm off-host 90% of the time. I rarely play him as much I'd like to.

[Heldarion]

This has probably been pointed out already, but shouldn't female and male vanilla Human classes statistics be added up?

[stysiaq]

Drell Vanguard? The hell?

The thing that has scared me off a bit as far as giving him a proper go on the higher levels is his awful base shields to go along with suspect health as it is.  In a class where it is important to charge to get shields back you have such a patherically low amount of shields.  I worry about survivability.
