I know it's not a high priority thing and I don't know how much time would take to implement it, but I think it could be nice to add a Win Rate % entry to the team page, on the bottom, in the box where there are the Games Played, TD Diff, Cas Diff.
After all, win rate it's more important than TD difference and Cas difference to quickly assess the performance of a specific team.

For accuracy, the entry should have 4 digits ideally, like this example:

Win Rate 50.65 %

But.. games played IS your win rate?

I'm talking about specific team win rate on each team page, not coach's overall win rate.

And yes, Games played is win rate, but not as summary as a percentage.
If you want to know the % you have to do the calculation manually every time you update the team page.

Probably would encourage picking even more.

Ever tried to calculate your win rate, accounting for opponent race? (So for instance, a win against amazons when you play dwarves isn't worth a full 1)

No, I didn't, anyway that kind of statistical "noise" over time it's mitigated by the number of games played, and since I don't play in Ranked picking is not a concern.

But you already got that in all your teams Matteo Very Happy

I know, but with an automated calculation I would not need to calculate it manually every time. Smile
Also, I could check my opponent's team page before a match to quickly know his team's win rate.

Oh, I thought you meant a feature for coaches on Fumbbl, but you meant a feature just for your coach page? Okay

Feature would be useful for all coaches, not just for me, but if you want to attack personally me it's ok.
People will pick with or without the win rate displayed on each team page, I guess pickers focus more on checking coach's profile (if Legend or Rookie) and team roster (bloaty or efficient) rather than checking a team's win rate.
Anyway, the feature is for team page, not for coach page (there the win rate % is already displayed). Please read carefully.

How is this
74 (39/12/23)
not enough? It seems to me that it is a far superior indicator information-wise than a percentage.

Genuinely curious.

It doesn't take to be a genius to know that percentage can summarize better the performance of a team in a single number.
This is why it's used often here on the site and in real world as well.
It's not a matter of being superior, it's a matter of providing elegantly with a single number, easily understandable, the performance of a team.
Also, makes easier to compare teams quickly, because comparing 2 win percentages is immediate, unlike checking 2 Games Played entries and do the calculations, especially when the amount of games played is big.

Let's make an example,

team A:
Games Played:
97 (56/24/17)

team B:
Games Played:
160 (84/56/20)

It's not easy to say which team has a better performance at a glance, unlike you could do by comparing the 2 win rates %:

team A Win Rate: 70.10%

team B Win Rate: 70%

It's way easier and quicker with Win %

Also, I'm not suggesting to remove Games Played entry, but to add a Win Percentage entry, there is no competition between the 2 entries, just an added value.

Do we really need to know this information? Seems kinda pointless. Just turn up and roll some dice!

Not pointless, for example I check my team's win rates to see if a team is doing better with a new build I'm trying or to see which team of mine is the best.
If you don't care about win rate % well, having it on your team pages will not harm your eyes, if you care, it's nice to have it.
Anyway, this site is full of data and %, if they were so pointless I don't think Christer would have bothered to show them.
