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.
Well, considering you’re openly, and rightfully, ridiculed for your BS seemingly on a daily basis, I think others have already made their judgement.
It’s not about whether you agree or not, or even whether the claim is correct. It’s about claims backed with legitimate arguments being discounted simply cause the person making the claim has worse (not bad) stats.
Person 1: “Guys vehicle A is sooo brokenly OP, trust me.”
Person 1’s stats with vehicle A: 0.4 K/D
Global stats with vehicle A: 0.6 K/D
You bet people will call out Person 1 for his baseless claims simply by checking few things in about a minute. Prolonged discussion about that was quickly avoided.
Making all stats private would just open up the flood gates for low IQ posts, rage baits and whatnot.
Look guys, I think T58 is utter crap and it should go to 6.0 right this second. Good thing there’re no public stats you can check and disprove my ridiculous claim with it.
Pretty much all decently popular competitive games have public stats, stop being a snowflake.
You yourself are also awfully quick to pull the skill issue card, you just don’t like it when people pull it on you (and have proof that they are right).
That would lead to the implementation of SBMM that is supposedly not a thing in this game where supposedly every match is a random combination of nations and BRs in a set BR bracket.
Um, I’d look again. There’s a space for public comments on all our Statshark profiles. You should see what I just added to yours :)
One of the interesting things about this new app, is where the previous free web version that they withdrew came with a promise from Statshark that if anyone was proven to be using it for griefing or ODLing, they would be permabanned from using Statshark at all. It could be seen as a little concerning that we see no such promise this time on the paid version.
Worth remembering that they had better winrate stats until a couple months ago, the actual winrates by match BR. Now it’s just the aggregate of vehicle winrates from service records, which is a little misleading.
The reason they had to remove that better data, we will all no doubt recall, is because their live app developer Pluspy was caught out harassing a trans person and in-game DOSsing a content creator, among other things, and he was the only one who knew how to get it off Gaijin’s servers.
Whether Pluspy has had any involvement with the new in-game viewer this time is an open question, given it’s so similar to what he made before he publicly quit the Statshark Discord. I have no idea. Certainly anyone downloading this app is taking on a degree of risk there if they don’t know more about what else this code might also be able to do to your computer and your game, but we’re all grownups here, right? (Oh. Wait…) More to my point, should this blow up again, those other cool things about Statshark we all appreciate (like global vehicle stats and performance curves) could again be put at risk. Which would be a shame. Again, I’d just like to see a little more communication and a few more reassurances (a more prominent “use at your own risk of Gaijin banning you” statement would be nice, too).
For the second time, that’s not what I’m talking about.
Again, not what I’m talking about. Stats are rarely used to counter arguments, they’re primarily used to say you’re a slightly worse player than me hence you’re wrong. In other words attacking players instead of attacking what they say.
It absolutely is, though? Don’t give them your $78 a year until you get some more answers to legitimate concerns you might have about the impact to the game, your own privacy, etc. Encourage others to do likewise, if you like. It’s just basic consumer awareness: no one’s asking for magically better hair growth tonic, we’re just asking to read the bottle before we pour it on our head.
As to whether the users had to click on a “I will not abuse this” checkmark to install it… if it had any value they would still need to repeat the words (like, on how to complain) on their Discord, which they have not this time to my knowledge.
