If you’re actually paying attention to the thread my point is that a gun that works every time (explaining why someone is wrong) is better than a gun that has a chance to fail (stat shaming).

Thats not a machine gun.
No, in fact after a few shots it’s a club until up find clean and re-install all the bits that fell off!
Although from what I hear you need to club people gently with it, cuz if you bang it too hard all the polymer cracks!

They get their stat pulled because they continue to make claims that are downright dishonest and couldn’t resist the urge to gaslight or manipulate, and not to mention their history of deception, all these behaviors have combined to create a storm of disgust. There are a bunch of active posters in here who have bad stats, yet they don’t get called out because they don’t spread lies and treat everybody like they are stupid.

You can try to justify it however you want; that doesn’t make it right nor does it make it more effective at persuading third parties.
You are just lowering yourself to their level when you do it.

It being right or not is also a completely subjective thing.
It absolutely makes it right.
Dogwater players making outrageous claims or whining for changes of game mechanics they don’t even understand and would impact the game a lot. It is important to tell those people they don’t understand the game even though they wont listen because it’s obviously never their fault. It’s also good to see for 3rd party readers, that the guy whining doesn’t know what he is talking about and that maybe a deeper look into the topic is needed.
I have seen plenty of times where stat shamers move the goal posts on what stats constitute bad play, so it would seem that stat shaming is also subjective. It isnt even always the same stat, sometimes it K/D, sometimes its matches played, etc. All in all that makes it a very arbitrary means of dismissing an argument you don’t agree with instead of engaging with it and defending the point.

Its actually quite the opposite. When you face someone with his stats he moves goal posts to fit his narrative.

I’ve seen examples of both.

What is more common is people lying about things on forum, being caught red handed as their stats showed something different and later crying all the time that someone dared to check their stats and not just belive what they are saying.

I disagree, I see more cases of people using stat shaming because they’re too lazy to engage with the argument.

Or they report your post/flag it when you ask them to demonstrate their claims in a curated 1 versus 1 environment.

SPAA is nothing much more than RNG. Like anything in this game.!

Really is that simple.

Dodged Extreme upclose
There rally isnt anything else about it really.!
You have something like this:
So why not just explain how the Ostwind and BTR are not OP instead?
Also, is playing a vehicle the only way to know whether its OP? Surely fighting against it is also a valid measure.

Because when someone tried it didn’t work and it doesn’t work with some people? Especially when someone is saying “skill issue”.
It is
If an explanation “doesnt work” why do you think stat shaming will?
I disagree, I can recall several vehicles where I fought it, thought it was OP, then later got to play it and confirmed it was OP, proving that my deduction from fighting it was correct.

It is not about to change this person opinion but to show that it has no bases.
Are we really going with that kind of logic?
How many times have You seen on forum claims about vehicles being “OP” from players that haven’t played it? Because I have seen much more opinions like that than people who haven’t played a vehicle and were right about it being OP.
