DGS Hero%

Post by DJLLAP »

In my DGS profile, right next to my winning percentage is a stat called Hero%. I also noticed that you can filter who can accept your new game posts by minimum Hero%, but I can't find any information on what that stat actually means. The bet I can figure it might involve winning game by a large margin, or maybe involve winning streaks? Anyone know for sure?

It's the percentage of your games that you've played against players who are weaker than you. I think the cutoff is at 2 stones difference, but if not it's in that vicinity.

I see. Interesting name for that stat. It really drives home the importance of helping lower players along.
