Given this information, the 50-10 fella who could have accomplished the very same team assists while killing more. One sided assumptions won't reinforce a point. To further expand, lets just simplify my initial example: do you want to take the guy who accomplishes 5 times more in a given timeframe over the cautious guy who accomplishes little but dies a little? When you want to bust an alliance in eve, will you hire Burn Eden to camp a gate or Pandemic Legion to destroy everything they have?

The correct answer is: UDIE and PL are both excellent at their trade. Accomplishments per hour can differentiate their potentials, as it can differentiate the potential of two players.

It is a completely valid point, though, that different stats tracking adds information.

The problem your seeing is the Wolf killing ducks, what happens when your three wolves walk into the jaws on my wolf packs.

Case in point, go play a corp match against the Imprefects, I'll wait.

No?

I know I brought them up, they may not be the greatest people, some of them are good guys, but they work together and will destroy any team of random lone wolfs, because they work with each other, playing off their strenghts and are better because of it

Your never gonna have a 24 man team of lone wolves. in Corp matches you would get rolled.

Your second assumption is that grinding faster is better. not always. Example, let's say you setup 10 corp matches for tomorrow, now you assume 10 minutes to get into the match and 10 minutes to win, then you set each match to start every 15 minutes, to maximise flow without having to do match then match without a break to refit. now let us say you get into a rather nasty match, is taking forever and is gonna run 20 minutes. your now 5 minutes into your next match, are you gonna have your best players drop this match to go hit the other one, you gonna have lesser players run the other match until your good players are avalible? then that match runs long, then your in a cycle of basicly screwed.

If you want to pub stomp and think your great. Fine, but that's not what this game is about, that's not where the stats matter.

WP/H just gets down to who can sit in a tank the longest though so no.

per hour? what?

just make it WP per death

would kills per hour work? no? duh

closing your eyes do not make your bad KDR go away. TRUTH.

IMHO Clone count is completely irrelevant; we are all Immortal.

+1 to remove all referrences to KDR, it's a broken mechanic that encourages the CoD mentality that leaderboards are important and actively discourages Teamwork.

If any of you think that you can assess a player's skills by looking at a bunch of stats, you are sorely mistaken. Yes, they can give a reasonable indication, but stats can never give the full picture; you have to squad up with people to know (qualitatively) how they play.

yea because we all know it's impossible to pad WP
