Finding your ideal team, with math? (Destiny)

There's a slight distinction between what I know for certain the Bungie API can do and what I'm hoping it can do. I know that it can pull in info for an individual as a cumulation of all matches played, e.g. Player A has 2,603 kills in Clash mode with Suros Regime. We can keep very specific cumulative stats. What I need to know is if a match is stored as a data object, and if the match has some relationship to the people partaking in it. Without the match, there is no connecting point between the data objects which represent the individuals. Thus, if Bungie stores Match objects (or whatever they call them) and matches have guardian objects, I can find which matches have all guardians queried in their data model. This will give us the data necessary to measure Guardian synergy.

That being said, and I say this in response to your last paragraph iconicbanana, I think there are many intangibles that would be difficult to measure, such as "role". Playing a support role, such as laying cover fire, would not be measureable (as far as I know). So, while counterproductive would not be the word I would use, I can understand where your coming from.

At the end of the day, I would work on this for the fun of it. I would still play with you, even if the stats said we were bad for each other. You can't measure camaraderie. :)
