Public Stats produce:

killsteal, griefplay, noob bashing, insults, e peens, [...]

I vote for NO. Definitely.

[Soulscour]

I voted yes. I dont mind people looking at my stats and I'm curious enough to look at some other peoples stats as well.

[4lex]

To many ppl think :

* epeen > match, and will start playing to farm stats instead of wining match, kill steal, shut down to prevent getting killed.

stats > argument. My kdr is 5 so machin gun need a nerf /tread.

Stats dont mean much. The guy who sacrifice to kite 3-4 oponent for a min or two so hes team wreck the rest lower hes kdr. While the guy that wont go back to stop hes base getting caped to finish that guy with no armour left raise hes kdr.


Stats make to many ppl stupid.

[Noobzorz]

Public stats are a disaster for intelligent discussion. See: StarCraft 2.

In a game where stats are an even shittier estimator of a player's skill, we should be cautious.

I'm an average mechwarrior, btw I'm here for fun and as long as I'm having fun I don't care if I'm just an average Joe and the world knows

That said, I'm all for public stats, however I believe one should have the option to make those private (either in full or in part). I would make mines 100% public, btw I believe a configurable privacy option would be fair.

[Xenosphobatic]

I'd really like to know where my ELO stands in the general scheme of things.

[Yokaiko]

If you have ever seen the googiness that goes on in Eve (lol KBwhores) ...no god no, no public stats. It makes for really silly play.

[Vahnn]

NO.

If people running off and shutting down to hide and preserve their stats is a problem when no one can see your stats, imagine what a problem it will be when people are trying to look good for everyone else.

[Lorcan Lladd]

The current matchmaker is so messed up with regards to weight and skill balance that I seriously doubt any statistics are worth anything at this point...
But sure, I'd support making them visible - maybe people would demand matchmaking improvements if it were so.

[SnuggleBug]

Sure take a look at them. I don't care if anyone knows how bad of a player I am. I am just having fun playing.

[FETTY WAP]

Nope. I am terrible at this game (but I love it.)

[NKAc Street]

I like stats for myself. They are interesting to look at.
But stats have nothing to offer the public eye concerning whether a player is good or bad or what potential they have.

[Teralitha]

I will say yes and no.

I think that solo pug matches should not have any viewable stats.

I think that the competitive level games when it gets here, should show everything even ELO.

No, even private stats make me reluctant to pilot 'mechs like the 4 AC5 Cataphract 4X. It's a different play style than I normally prefer, since the 4X is slow, but I do like taking it out for a spin every once in a while.

I'd frankly prefer we had no stats at all, that way if I want to slum it up in an awful Spider variant, I can do so without "ruining" my good stats.

[IIIuminaughty]

they look at my stats they see how superior I actually am

[Horned Bull]

I would like to know my ELO rather than know who belongs to the biggest 4 man pubstomping team.

[Walk]

As with any other game ever, I really do not care. While I may not be the best player in the world, I've mastered pretty much every game I've ever played, and my stats always reflect that. However, I do notice that a lot of people don't understand statistics, and will quickly claim someones opinion is completely invalid if they see their own stats being higher. One example is from League of Legends, back when Elo was visible. Saw someone go on a rant about how someone else shouldn't discuss strategy and how bad they are when they were literally 1 Elo above the person they were criticizing.

ok, I see this all the time... and tell me, who do you think is a better pilot...

Pilot A ) 40 games played, 3.5 KDR, 60% Win rate
Pilot B ) 100 games played, 1.5 KDR, 40% Win rate

Using just those 3 stats, who would you rather have on your team? Also, assume all game are pugs.
