no offense, but should a long time pilot that has never had a positive win/loss or KDR really be somebody mentoring other pilots?
PGI's stats are horrifically inaccurate.

Why do you go by stats?
Check your own.
On mine, the difference between mech stats, and the overall stats which show the mech stats, is off by 371 games as of yesterday.
That's 371 games not actually counted toward anything. Now imagine how this accrues over seasons, overall, and how some stats don't change for an entire week.
In other words, stats are pretty much meaningless since they effectively reflect nothing about the game due to being untrue.
Even if they did, there's 23 other players to account for in every single match which in turn help to dictate how a match flows.
Ultimately, stats are not only untrue but cannot possibly reflect the prowess of the player (edit:
when you go by "win/loss" ratio as a single player has little ability to change the outcome of the entire match if accompanied by even a single AFK player or a complete moron not to mention the possibility of having 11 of them; I've had more than two matches where 5 to 9 out of 12 players disconnected instantly as the match started) and therefore to rely on them is akin to a British Major during World War 1 taking note of the rise of head injuries by over 600% in just two days of using the newly issued helmets was a sign that the helmets were hurting the soldiers and that they should be taken off immediately.
....when in fact the rise of head injuries reflected a rise in survivors from artillery shelling and combat that would have died if not for the helmet. Because of that one general's stupid misreading of stats, 533 people died as a result of the order to remove their helmets over the course of the week it took to get the matter straightened out and overturned. Five hundred and thirty three lives lost, many of whom had injuries that could have been survived had they not taken off the helmet under orders from a guy who only read "Part" of the statistics that came in.
In other words, to rely on the stats you see is ******* ignorant. But if you actually read stats, then you didn't need this quick TL;DR.
(And would know that PGI's stats are meaningless.)
