Finding your ideal team, with math? (Destiny)

Both bungie.net and destinytracker pull individual game data, so you could source from there. Although I personally find this data spurious, since it doesn't factor playing with ransoms versus playing with voice-enabled teammates, which matters.

Good point. In my mind, this would be more of a player-initiated comparison where you choose who you are comparing yourself to. That will help self-select players as well.

And I'll be honest, I find this line of reasoning counterproductive. My mindset is to always excel in the role which my team requires; adapting to new challenges or teammates is part of what makes me a better player.

I get you. Part of me wonders if this would actually kill the joy of playing a bit. I love throwing math at things, so that is fun for me, but I would hate to think people would actually choose to not play with another person based on this number. My hope would be that this would just be an interesting factoid for people.
