Waqui this has been answered satisfactorily every time you've asked in the past.

Have a nice Tuesday.

Well, your answer this time was nonsense - but @DarjeloSalas answered the question for you instead.

How exactly is it an advantage?

It's an advantage to know what score you need to win, obviously.

You can debate how much of an advantage, and in some cases it's none (when an opponent scores very high), but it's obviously an advantage with everything else being equal.

And it helps you score more than you could without knowing the score beforehand? How exactly?

Because you can take risks if the score is lower?

But then doesnt the advantage stem from the lower score?

Because seeing the score and it not being low doesnt seem to help at all.....

Knowing you need a high average score and a player taking more risk doesnt help them win the matches that actually effect the scoring.

Also, any perceived advantage comes from a players sense of risk, which would also be related to their strategy (what they set on D and plan to use on O). Which wouldnt necessary change with a hidden score.

Feats dont affect the match, so the ability to do them doesnt really sound like an advantage.

I am not saying there is no advantage, as I'm sure players like to like they are taking less risk, but there are ways a player can achieve this on their own with a change to the strategy they use. The percieved advantage is about comfort and doesnt make the game play any easier, you can still lose that one point in the match by making a mistake, no matter how comfortable you are.

Oh noes I went first so I will surely lose!!! :o

Did someone say you can't win if you go first?

That's not the point, and I know you know it's not the point.

Congrats on the win though.

It's not like 2476 is an unbeatable score with what I see there on defense. Malak/Nest solo vs Shaak, JKR+GMY duo vs KRU, SLKR solo vs GG, Nest solo vs Palp (depending on potency vs tenacity)..but 2476 is a good score non the less.

On topic:
Going second is a significant advantage and I'm tired of this discussion. All relevant information (banners scored, number of battles and zones cleared) should be hidden but since CG is too lazy for everything or just doesn't care this won't happen.

According to the OP, by going first I just handed my opponent a "HUGE advantage" ... or did I

The fact that people that can wait and wait and wait to see what score the other person puts up before they attack is such a HUGE advantage.

Fair enough, OP's statement is sometimes right and very often wrong.

Or the significance of this advantage is exaggerated and calling them lazy is just a lazy argument.

On the first part: That's probably why the majority of those high lifetime banner people (where it's safe to assume they get to Kyber every season and many of them having Kyber Contender titles) are desperately trying to attack second with some of those "standoffs" going so far that the first attacks are happening at the last 30 min of the match.
On the second part: Sorry, I forgot that some UI work is too complicated and expensive for a billion dollar game.

Or maybe they just don't think it's enough of a problem to spend time and money on it.

I would love to see a basketball game where the scores were hidden.

I have 393k lifetime banners and I have made Kyber in every GAC so far. I frequently attack first - actually I attack when I am ready which often happens to be before my opponent - and I rarely have a problem unless I make a miscalculation / mistake which results in a lower score.

Occasionally an opponent attacking second will beat my score but not very often. And I lose because my opponent out-matches me or I make a mistake.

I would play this way whether scores were visible or not.
