I wondered about that myself about half way through accumulating the data. i don't have the raw data in an easy format tor this (kicking myself), but might be able to come up with it.

It may be worth bearing in mind that the Rogue class needs to be registered in advance so the Rogue tests can be emailed to the players, so might be skewing the stats a bit.

At the Normal/HC tiers, it's probably more people want the extra treasure and want to lock in for it. UR+ those are mostly trade mat fodder, but those rares are very much desired in lower games.

I'm sure both are reasons the Rogue comes out on top. In the end I think all the classes are getting played a lot and differences between many of them are not all that different.

In reference to the earlier question around fighters and wizards. I've looked at 1a and 1b so far and at least one fighter has been selected 194 times and at least one wizard was selected 185 times. Rogue was selected 185 times across those two events. So, together, those classes seem just as popular as any other class.

Both fighters selected - 109
Only Dwarf Fighter - 51
Only Fighter - 34
Both wizards selected - 85
Only Elf Wizard - 42
Only Wizard - 58

Again, you can make broad inferences, but there is still significant margin for error in the raw numbers due to previous factors. Note: One reason I track this is just to see how I stack up with my class selections. I generally prefer to play Elf Wizard and thus far have accounted for 11% of all Elf Wizard selections on my own. Do I think Elf Wizard would drop 11% if I played something else? No, but it shows that even one crazy person can influence some of the numbers. Note #2. I have personally played in about 9% of all VTD runs.

We also have issues that people who buy out runs don’t always select characters... no idea who that might be. /whistle

I select maybe 50% of the time for Synergy runs since classes are pre-determined before the run.
