Hey BHVR/Devs...Show the kill stats...Some people are already creating their own narratives...

People are already creating their own narratives regarding kill/escape/solo/swf rates based on your previous statements.

Regardless of how the changes impact these, people will still stick with their own narratives/sour the new experience.

Please nip this in the bud before it grows out of control.

    Even if the Devs provide stats, people will still make their own narratives.

    When BHVR posted stats in the past, they were not correct because they did not show high Ranks or the correct platform or people just said that BHVR was lying.

    This community is not ready for stats.

    I think if they always showed stats when making claims about them, why not show them this time? I think it's only fair to be consistent.

    They should show updated stats, especially for soloQ. If someone doesn't trust stats, it's his/her own problem.

    Or even better, implement personal stats, so anyone could look them up. Right now we have many people stating they have 110% escape rate even in soloQ. And they might even feel it this way.

    BHVR literally said they don't like posting stats because people take them out of context.

    Kill stats they post are basically meaningless, because they don't account or control for factors. It's all regions, all skill levels, all player build types, solo and SWF combined, all seriousness levels (people throwing for challenge/playing casually versus going all out), all maps, combined.

    there are literally people saying that BHVR's data isn't accurate, cuz it's not what they experience in game xD just like they alone carry all the data

    It's funny if BHVR gave us few hundred MB worth of data someday.

    You know what, just gave us data with ENTIRE CONTEXT!

    I'd even buy it if it's like 15$ or so.

    They aren't saying it's inaccurate because of their own anecdotal data. That would be silly.

    They're saying it's inaccurate because it's attempting to illustrate the games balance based on a flawed metric (kills). It gives a false perception of the games balance to someone who is newer to the game or lacks an understanding of the games nuances.

    Even if they release official stats, it will be instantly dismissed because it wouldn't match their preconceived notion.
