unfortunately it is true as many have testified.
I’m not talking about wild claims (e.g players calling BMPT balanced). I’m talking about actually rational claims, e.g “F-16A is underperforming.”
As an example,
User A claims F-16A is underperforming
User B (who has better stats according to statshark) says that User A is wrong because they’re worse and aboslutely nothing else (especially not their argument) matters.
Id say thats also possible, yes, but again highly depends on the specifics.
Aight, ping them and make them testify here :) if unable to do that, linking their comments will suffice. Cmon, ill be waiting.
Are you living under a rock?
doesnt look like user ping nor linked comment.
Someone can just follow a user with these sites and stat shame them and mock them indefinitely, this community is full of vindictive and toxic and evil people. Privacy should be there for these cases.
I dont believe it shows any other player stats that Gaijin doesn’t already show. Where it is invaluable is nation win rates. Until Gaijin decides to share their data with us, it is the next best thing. Transparency is never a bad thing and it speaks to see where certain nations are performing.
These people can also just remember or write down the name of their target and statshame them through game.
Also there is no critical information shown on statshark (unless you are uncreative like me and just use your first name as your WT name), so who cares that people can look you up.
A) such stalking is definetively against forum rules about harrasment
B) again, these sites only display stats publicly accessible through your profile. said stalker could (not that he should mind you) simply harrass you (and subsequently get banned ideally) even without site like statshark.
Oh on that I can absolutely agree.
The fringe cases of stalking and continuous harrasment unrelated to the discussed matter fall under harrasment rules.
I think global vehicle and nation stats are fine, and these sites do provide a good way to gauge how each nation is doing relative to one another, I have no issues with that.
They can look your stat via game and do the same. And you can blacklist people both on forum and in-game. What’s the problem here?
i think we should bully the bad stat people so they use it as motivation to get better at the game
Quoting this might lead to derailment, so I am a bit scared rn.
But, seems this isn’t a rational claim, I think…
The problem with the F-16A is compression. not F-16A itself.
It isn’t underperforming; other counterparts are overperforming too much thanks to SNAFU compression.
Just like a chocolate lava cake isn’t an undercooked chocolate cake.
Boi do I have thread for you :D
Ah hell no
:d
You do realize your posts are literally public right? Like, literally anyone can do a quick search and find people calling you out on your BS.
Buddy we’re not stupid or blind.
F-16A and Netz are pretty bad overall, regardless of why, and it’s generally agreed upon that they are. However, despite dozens of players agreeing that they’re bad, there’s still people who try to claim they’re perfectly fine just on the basis of the person claiming they’re bad having worse stats.
In your case I highly doubt that since
A) you think linking single out of context comment proves anything
B) I never said I dont use the stat argument in the first place, I merely responded to you claiming, and I quote:
You certainly do not make valid arguments. And likely neither did the person in the OSA thread.
You proposed an argument that whoever has stat argument used against him, his argument must be valid, which is nonsense.
XD you’re only making yourself look worse, and also proving my point that your misuse and abuse stats/statshark, but go ahead. Keep shooting yourself in the foot.
Others can be judges of that. As for your opinion specifically, well, between two of us, Im not the one dismissing anyone disagreeing with me as “CAS hater”.
Misusing numbers , what a terrifying world you must live in.
EDIT: Also found the comment you screenshoted:
Quite lengthy, but that specific sentence you took out of context is calling out person with barely positive KD in OSA that he does not always detect and instantly destroy his enemies as he claims - and doing so through his profile, not statshark which is all the funnier since you called me a statshark abuser.
Anyway were getting bit offtopic here.
Sorry, but I can’t agree with this part.
not because you are having a bad stat.
Because it doesn’t need a buff.
Other jets that make the F-16A look pretty bad should get nerfed instead.
with joke, I would’ve opposed you even if you had insane stats as DEFYN does.
If someone made a bad take, no matter how good or bad, they deserve to get counterclaimed.
Stats work like a bulletproof vest.
And in this case… You came with a training plate in your Plate carrier, I guess.
