I will release the results of this epic recording of my deaths once I have 100 OMS games recorded. Let me spoil it for you.... Run over by 12 year old kid driving a LAV : 25% Shot by 12 year old kid with Flaylock : 25% Shot by 12 year old kid with Mass Driver : 25% Killed by 12 year old kid with grenade : 25%
Not really if you know what you're doing...
I hardly ever die to LAVs (because I am situationally aware), hardly ever die to FL/MD (because I used them myself and know how to counter them) and grenades are only really an issue in CQC (as they should be).
I still think I die to ARs the most, but not because they're OP, just because most people seem to use them. All the other weapons are pretty equally spread out except for the plasma cannon because no one seems to use it 
Either way, only CCP has the ability to provide detailed stats...and would have to normalize it based on the number of people using a specific weapon. I'm sure they're doing just that when deciding if a weapon is OP...at least I hope they do instead of basing it on forum whining  |

Yeah, noticed a disconnect between the forums and actual gameplay too. A lot of the weapons ppl whine about don't seem to be an issue for me at all. I die to the FL maybe once a game if that...and most of those times it's because I was a donkey and either moved in a predictable way, ran into the flaylocker at CQC, simply didn't pay attention or didn't think about taking cover after the first splash damage.

The next protostomp that nets you 5 flaylock deaths throws the implicated assessment right into the bin. You need more rounds, especially with that average death count. And i agree with your observation but that's besides the point. I'm not trying to prove anything.
I take it you're an EVE player too? Only an EVE player would know proper quants and apply it to a video game |

LAVs are pathetically easy to use, make no sense in relation to physics, and are way too durable for a LIGHT attack vehicle.
I die to an LAV maybe once every 3 games, so no, they're not OP.
Question for you: In real life, when you cross the street...do you watch left/right before crossing? I suggest you start doing that in Dust too |

Only one game mode limits your results greatly. Lol. So this guy complains that there are too many variables, but then when it comes to one of the variables that the OP did take into account, he says it limits his results.
Of course it does...you can't just limit your sample size to a single game mode  |
