So going off the stats that were in the Adepticon vid Tunguska had both the second highest pick rate and victories (also had the highest win percentage but means nothing) in satellite level tournaments. TJC's pick rate is close to double that of the other 2 sectorials and just over half of vanilla's. with the difference is wins being more or less the same except for it is only 66 short of vanilla. What this tells me is that TJC is no where near as bad off as some people in the forums would have you believe and that all of the sectorial's weaknesses can be overcome in a reliable manner. Personally I think that these stats and the ones that were released at adepticon should be taken with a grain of salt the size of a continent, I figured this would still make for an interesting enough discussion.
If one adds up all the games, it does roughly come to about what I would expect for all of the satelites plus IP. If it is all of those, this is a decent sample size for a dataset from competitive events. I didn't want to give it too much credit, but after looking into the sample size; it roughly matches what we've been told it is as far as I can tell.
I think this is a decent amount of samples, so it could be a proof that TJC is the most playable sectorial among others. But TBH, lacking in cheap warbands and smoke templates etc., it feels like I'm not playing Nomads Maybe that's the reason why I tend to play vanilla over TJC.
I'm pretty sure that all those numbers show is that people play new stuff. Every army has a huge bump to its most recently released sectorial.
I cannot see the two images, only the second one (the first one appears "broken" (does it only happen to me?), but as far as I know, that data is from a few months, and is lacking some important info, like aqquired TP (only winrate by itself, it should be near 50%, so is on average). If you look at the recopilated data from one year, not only 4 months (I think that was only this ITS and from september to december), the winrate was not so good (but also not so bad, just average), but the TP were below average. What does this mean? that TJC can win, but usually by the minimum. This data in the thread don't tell us much more than TJC can win having good results in one or two tournaments should not be thought as a tendency, if so, bad results in one or two should aldo be thought as that (And last interplanetario, or mallorca's satelite were not so good for TJC, for example). The same when taking into account players choice, there will be good players, but some will chose it because they like it, some because its competitiveness, and some because the challenge, but again, the "bad players" will also choose them because different reasons. Unless someone could demostrate that the reason for picking TJC is only their performance in tournaments, and only good players choose correctly, then the pick rate should not be taken into account to see if a sectorial is good or not. Remember also that nomad's sectorials have been allways a high picked options, even when all vainillas were ahead their sectorials in N2, both BJC and CJC had high rates of playing compared most other sectorials in the game.
TJC is anti-meta atm and have the magical BS 12. I personally think CJC is stronger though. Ultimately, Vanilla Nomads is the best list to run for Nomads right now; don't let that 47% rate fool you. .
