@MrCarri-XThat vid was how it usually goes. @MandatoryIDtag Heck even without that bug it’s not that powerful until she’s in the hands of a good aimer. Daniel is drunk as always xD.
@pandareno1999yup, camper extraordinaire xD
Also the lil vid thing is still a prob for lots of vids. Luckily iphone works nowadays.
@Cheese9Man Exactly. Every time I’ve seen someone post something he says when he defends a character, it’s always “winrate this and winrate that” never “pickrate vs winrate” or “winrate when looking at how often they shoot”... or anything like that. It’s actually funny
Yah. Wattson SO OP, cause nobody plays her anymore, that’s the secret!
Boneheads.
DZK really needs to understand that Occams Razor can only be applied if all competing theories use the same set of considered evidence.
If people point out that her win-rate is inflated (and by extension, worthless) cause she is used primarily in squads with a strategy in mind in contrast to most opponents who don't (which by itself is a huge factor regardless of pick). Then the answer that her win-rate is high because she is "simply strong" without disproving the previous theory with the data he has access to but we don't does not hold much weight and makes him come across as arrogant or even dishonest.
Just release the stats, we aren't stupid and it did wonders for the games that do.
