I agree & disagree with the stats. Yes, some people use them, but they aren’t a way to judge your skill as you can play many game against ransoms & then get destroyed by competitive players the next few games, so stats are in that aspect meaningless fully. What my post is about, is giving you that option of recording stats, or not. It should be an option as I wasn’t referring to trolls. I’ve been literally, followed from game to game by these players because of my stats, and had message
s because of it.
you like stats so that’s great, but the majority actually don’t. If you ask most people at aren’t in the top 1.000 in leaderboards, don’t pay attention. I’ve been number 1 in a lot of games, but even then, it doesn’t mean the best as it’s just a conglomeration of everything you’ve done. Kills, wins, score. You could lose a million, but if you have more wins you’re still gonna be high up.
i made a point back in black ops 3. I was number one for 4 months for kills, and I intentionally went negative & was number 1 because of the higher kills. a lot don’t
pay attention to them. I was number one in RDR for nearly 8 months. 4 in MW3. In the top 30 BF3-4. 9th in BO2, and in the 13 years of gaming, the majority I’ve met don’t care, but like I said, it should be your choice because I’ve heard so many conversations in bf V talking trash because another guy had low stats at level 100, yet did better then most on both teams. I’ve joined games half way through yet it counts as a loss because I joined a team getting destroyed by 4 guys tank camping a spawn point.
good job though being number 1. I know it takes a ridiculous amount of time each day & that’s some good dedication. Hope you stay at the number spot.
stats need to made into an option. If you wanna keep them good, but it should be a choice if you just want to have fun for an hour or two because it’s a game.
the weekly stat rest you mentioned: I’ve played every battlefield since bad company, but my stats only change after the past 5 privous games not weekly. Maybe that’s a bug, but it’s never been weekly on any game I’ve ever played.
My 100 kills to 0 deaths was just an example. You took it out of context it was meant for. My meaning was people at get 50+ kills a game for maybe 1-5 deaths means nothing. You’ll have a good score/kd, but means nothing because you could of just played fandoms. That was what I was meaning. Hence why stats aren’t good to judge because it’s not based on skill. The new MW has a good SKBMM, but it’s getting changed I think with how many are complaining about something that’s actually good. I see the point you’re making though, but hopefully you can understand what I mean though.
thats a good kill to death. How many games is that with?
I know my idea about stats being a choice isn’t popular, but it would be a choice weather you’re hardcore into stars, or just want to play casual as I play solo only.
i like stats being part of games don’t get me wrong. It is nice to see, but at the same point: I’ve always wanted a way to turn them off because I just wanna enjoy the game without the worry of messing them up. I know that’ll sound ridiculous of my post, but I hope you & anyone reading this will get what I mean though.
sorry about the message being short. It’s 05:46am here in uk. I respect your opinion though.
ps. Please don’t take anything I’ve said to offence as I was just talking about how I feel towards stats. I’m sorry if anything was taken to
@CAPTA1N-117 I'm not offended by what you said and I can relate to what you said about people following you through maps specifically to mess with you, especially if it's due to being stat related.
After I completed the DICE BFV aerial challenge issued by Jeff Braddock and Dan Mitre (Retired Global Community Manager), I had multiple join my games just to steal the planes, go on the other team and try ram me all game, etc all so they could troll.
However stats aren't the only thing that attracts trolls or people from going into matches that simply want to harass you or spam you with questions, friend invites, etc. Notoriety gains far more traction than statistics and the best suggestion I can give you is the one that you'll find most Youtubers like, Jack Frags, Modest Pelican, Westie, Niccaman, etc use is to simply set your profile to offline. People the wont be able to follow you into servers as they wont know which one you're in. Yes you'll occasionally get unlucky and land in a server with these people from time to time but the moment you switch servers, they've lost you again.
Hopefully this resolves your issue or at least alleviates the problem to some degree, as from what I've taken from your concern isn't so much the stats themselves but the less desirable types of people that get drawn to them, that will actively seek you out as they clearly have nothing better to do than harass others for their own amusement. Again we can't even begin to imagine what someone like Jack Frags, LevelCap, Westie or Niccaman have to deal with and I doubt they'd ever talk about it because the moment they complain about trolls, it'll be like attracting moths to a flame
