That's not Stat Padding..
Stat padding is when that Lurmer makes a target nice and soft and cherry red and then the padder kills it with one alpha.
Stat padding is when the padder hides and powers down when the game is conquest or assault and hides so that the other team just wins by objective and his KDR doesn't score a "death"
Stat padding is when the padder plays with a large organized group, with cookie-cutter mechs, and then he does linebacker / assassin pushes, and the group carries him to victory, so his W/L rises.
Stat padding is when the padder waits and times his shots to steal kills.
THAT is stat padding..
Don't spread your LRM hate please..
Right, doing 400 damage to one target without killing it = definitely not stat padding, killing an enemy that's still alive because someone was spreading their damage across literally every component = stat padding.
Hahaha except no they aren't. The only times picking up kills are stat padding are: if you deliberately and repeatedly hold fire while teammates shoot until an enemy is almost dead so that you can ninja the kill; if you hide until the end of the match with a lategame build to try to hoover up all the half-dead enemies.
How about that? My team on that match scattered to ****. I was running an old favorite of mine, just 2x LLas, 4x MLas, 3x JJ, and an XL340. Two thirds of the team was off ******* around after single targets when we reached center, so the four of us scattered. I backstabbed one guy and everything after that was drilling torsos on damaged enemies.
Is that stat padding, to go around making sure things my teammates couldn't kill actually go down instead of blobbing up and rolling all the scattered pockets of our team? According to you, it is.
Meanwhile the teammate who cored out my RT and nearly killed me with damage from three separate alphas in his desperation to kill-secure the enemy Locust he'd been shooting at and barely damaging for three minutes, according to you he's a poor unfortunate contributor who got his kill stolen by someone who had the good luck of being able to aim.
