That's because you don't have a point. It is completely moronic to judge a mech based on the performance of random players seen in a single battle.
You are selecting a single data point to support your argument, a fallacy termed 'cherry picking'. It is not worth refutation as a result.
If you want people to positively respond to your posts, you need to make intelligent arguments.
OMG have you read & understood my previous posts???? That is exactly what I'm saying and what you have written proves my argument again for me!!! You cannot cherry pick stats from a single battle because it is anecdotal! I keep saying, take all the data as a whole, data we do not have. And do you not see how ridiculous it is to show data which contradicts itself in the same screenshot as per OP??? And as previously posted, I can bring up absurd stats like the 50 WLR light pilot to show how you should nerf light mechs instead!
And your opinion that playing 1 mech improves your skills across all mechs. How do you know that to be true across the board? And you can't prove it. The way you play lights and mediums are vastly different. And this is easily disproved by raising WLR and KDR once I play exclusively in light mechs (accounting for weight difference). Perhaps I will do it in November when I got the time (btw my light mech matches are 9% of my assault, med mechs are 3%, i.e. a total of 65 matches in meds, heavies are also at 9%. Do you realise how ridiculous low that med number is and doesn't prove anything about anyone's competence in any chassis).
You claim that we shouldn't cherry pick stats and yet you cherry pick stats from certain players to "prove" your argument. Again contradicting your own stance.
