Hey Jack, this is awesome to see! I love seeing fellow data nerds on here. The analysis that you did was thorough and you were thoughtful of potential biases.
A question I have for my own curiosity: for Gold and Diamond players respectively, what was the size distribution like for each of those "Time before Requeueing" Bars? In other words, what is the % breakdown of how many games are in the "Immediate," "Short break," and "Long break" bars for Gold players and Diamond players?
Again, thanks for providing such an interesting read!
