We should be able to see who's terrible or not.

I can tell that within 60 seconds of most matches

Sorry, but mine has professionally reviewed software for the last 15 years for Tucows.com :-) She is Librarianchick.com, I mean damn.

I demand proof.

After all, now we are at the point where we see which one has the nerdiest wife.

So stats in general are unimportant if the the guy who makes sure the team WINS gets 0 kills but a gloryhound gets 4.

The guy who never gets any kills isn't actually doing anything to make sure the team wins.

I'm not afraid of public stats but I don't like it and can imagine the amounts of grief that will certainly follow... even if you choose not to let it bother you the game will still be indirectly effected, for better and worse in their own ways.

It's possible to assume that if stats bother you, it's your fault.. but trolling at its finest will never cease to exist, nor will taking the bait, therefore you get grief.

I see...like those light mechs that only get a capture rewared and then the match is over - you mean those guys...not doing anything for the team...

My wife isn't nerdy at all, but she does paint all of my mechs. And sometimes shoots the lasers while I control the movement of my mech.

Good light mech pilots have K/D ratios that are just as high as anyone else's.

If he's getting 6-8 assists per match, he's probably doing more than most will give him credit for.

About stats being public> that is old crusty news, you missed the debate on that by months.

Stats matter. They aren't the be all and end all of everything, but there's a reason they are tracked. Better players tend to have better stats, especially win/loss ratio. Deal with it.

hold on to those pointless numbers tightly I'm sure they'll keep you warm.

I've got a screenshot of some guy who got 2 assists, and only did 1 point of damage.

consumables won't be p2w

they say they can be purchased with cbills or mc. not just mc. meaning, they're like mechs, purchasable with cbills or mc. play more and you can buy them with cbills. plus they occupy a module slot, meaning you'll have to weigh being able to take 1 airstrike and removing a different module, or 2 airstrikes and removing 2 modules, etc etc

public stats won't change anything. people who play for stats play for stats when theyre private. people who don't care about stats won't care about them when they're public. many games nowadays have some sort of public stats, and while it occasionally leads to selfish behavior, more frequently it leads to players simply trying harder, which seems like a good thing to me

Which depends ENTIRELY upon the role they have taken.

I wish I had a screenshot of the guy who got 2 kills with 1 point of damage.

Yea, but that is also rare and a few lucky shots. It is generally EASIER to skill up in a heavier mech due to their cumulative firepower compared to say a SPIDER.

This of course is dependant on the mech since the potential firepower of a 4mg and a laser spider vs a jenner are worlds apart.

I can give you a screenshot of me managin the opposite. Die twice and do 1 damage

[General Kefka]

I believe that being able to view others stats would be nice. It is basic track record of how they perform. I would like more stats. Add Favorite Weapon or Most Used Chassis or Heat Generated/Heat Dispersed. Pehaps Times Overheated or AC Rounds Fired. Make it more in-depth!

IMO: Anyone who wants it private and not share stats is:
A.) Hacker - "Hide my ridicoulous KDR plz!"
B.) Ashamed - "I'm soooo horribad, don't look!"
C.) Introverted - "I drop alone, dont want to join a group, Leave me alone!"
