New view on your strategies

PAGE UPDATE - BY ARANESH
When Legion was released, I struggled very hard to keep up with the world quests and test+add strategies. Now with BfA, since everyone can upload strategies, every one of the new quests has a number of different alternatives available already.

It worked out very well, all thanks to you, the creators of all those strategies out there. A BIG THANK YOU!

And as a little treat I've just completed the last important feature for it: A "My Strategies" section!
Hover over your name on the top right, check it out. You'll see a summary of your strats, how they do, and you get notifications if someone writes a comment on your strategy :-)

Love what you've done with the site since I used to use it back in Legion. One thing that I think would be very useful though is a summary page that lists all the pets sorted by how many different strategies they are used in. maybe even cross referenced with your collection to only show pets you don't have already. That way you would better know what pets are used a lot and would be worth getting.

Kinda in the pipeline already :D Slightly different format, but something like that ;-)

Not sure if I'm a big fan of the "upload strategies" feature. Each time I go back to a strat that I've used before (and saved the team because it worked), the front page for that particular team is now a new team and I either have to search for mine which worked before or sometimes I try out the new one and it doesn't work at all and I'm scrolling through the list trying to figure out which one was mine again. I liked the old way where the tried and true teams were the first on the page at least instead of the newest uploaded "well this is what I liked and worked for me" shows up. It's no better than scrolling through Wowhead comments almost. Maybe a ranking system so new strats with low ratings fall down off the main page would be a better way to handle newly uploaded strats at least.

I agree, it gets a little confusing when my husband goes to do it and even within the same day, the first strat seen has changed.

Hey!

Such a ranking system is already in place, but I think it needs a few tweaks to work better. Strategies rated higher should stay on top. "New" strategies do not get any preference, that is just informational but has no impact on the sorting.
However, what I noticed is that some strategies get filled with positive tags, which do have an impact on the sorting. That's something I have to review and change.

One more thing, if you are logged in and put a favourite (heart) to a strategy, it will always be shown on top for you!

I think the problem is that a new upload has 5 stars, likely due to the person uploading it rating it himself. So if a good one sits at 4.9, the new one will have preference. Probably better to require a certain amount of votes before it goes on top of everything else.

Maybe add a personnal "favorite" system :)

It has one. Read the last line of what Aranesh said above.

Also, the amount of votes and favourites has an effect as well. Strategies that have many votes (10+ and then different further steps), the value of the star rating is increased. So even if a new strat has 5 stars by the creator, another strategy with 4.5 or so, but with many different voters saying this, will still be rated higher.
This of course only kicks in after a certain time. As long as most strategies are pretty new, it has little effect.

Thank god for the favourite flag - it has been taking me longer to find the strat that I knew worked well for me, than it was to do the actual battle !

I don't see an option to see enemy trainer pets, could be useful if you don't have the right pets from the proposed strategies and want to try with the right types
