Since Solaris is an SSR/ELO driven mode, why not remove all those unnecessary stats from players so at least the only pride they lose is SSR.

Seeing the amount of salt being sprinkled from lower tiers vs. high tier matchups, (i.e. since higher tiers would like mow them down eyes closed), it makes more sense so as a high tier player you would actually be afraid to make mistakes against a low SSR opponent, and vice versa - take a shot against a superior pilot.

I mean like since we value KDR as much as our ballz.. so taking that out should make life a little less edgy.

In addition to the masses of things Solaris needs fix.. this would be an easy adjustment to make the newer participants happy - they stand to lose little - and for seasoned veterans, well you need to defend your shiet anyway - so work hard!

Why remove a game mode that some people enjoy and play regularly?

You do realize in this age it's nearly impossible to read sarcasm from random people on the internet.

Next time post a webcam video of you saying it in a sarcastic voice!

Or just don't post jokes at all because you aren't funny/clever/edgy or whatever you're trying to be.

[Romperland]

Instead of removing it, why not mask it from opponents?

What's the purpose of hiding your opponents win/ loss ratio?
It won't change the person you're fighting. If anything it will give you an indication of how serious the fight will be.

So you really do enjoy showing off how many bums you kicked out of the arena don't you? We all know half of those ridiculous KDRs comes from peeling potatoes. How many matches were actually evenly paird? From my S7 exp, I'd say less than half were fairly ranked fights.

I must admit I do revel in stomping poor greenskins - and sometimes I mask myself as one. Its just that you can't keep entertaining yourself with the same thing over and over again. And every now and then one of those fellas climb out of the cockpit to throw salt at you after you down 2 torsos leaving them with no weapons and a stick.

Maybe just show the stats at the end of the season - a bounty system would be fun tho - but that would probably sprinkle even more salt around.

y me specifically?

What would be really fun is to have even more details about a player. More than just win/loss, show the entire history of a player, all of their matches with details like opponents, variants, maybe even the loadouts used. If there was an API we could go deep, summon the spirit of Tarogato, and put together matchup tables of how mechs and loadouts perform against each other!
