You're literally the only person here that mentioned an emblem. The guy you were responding to was talking about a puprle color in mmm. I still don't know where you're going with this. Also what questions? Can you ask them again? Sure. And again, even if I didn't, what would be the point of unhiding stats just for the once per year 5 minute event where it could've been useful?

@Mr_Damager Agree with what? That emblems have nothing to do with the purple color in mmm? It is, since you'd potentially have to do it several times a day. It's also completely pointless. Why would anyone bother doing it just so maybe once a month someone on the forums could look them up?

Guess it's a good thing nobody is talking about an emblem then, but rather MMM. And hurricane clans are very rare so that point is moot. Also, you seriously expect people to turn their profile public when they visit the forum, only to turn it back to private when they play?

Well yes, since a vast majority of players in this game are bad it stands to reason that most that have hidden stats are bad too by default. That reasoning however doesn't really apply to the forums since people who visit them tend to be more heavily invested in the game. As bait. I actually photoshopped mine.

A better question would be, why did you convince yourself that only bad players hide their stats?

Naturally mr. conspiracy theorist. Anytime you or your kind can't handle something it's immediately "the game is rigged", "wg is against me", "you're all just lucky", "you're shills".

Most of those are good players. That's especially true for wows. The only properly popular content creator that I'm personally aware of that isn't is jingles (and probably mountbatten, though he's still well above average), but he doesn't stream afaik, and he hasn't shown himself playing on youtube in years. I'm sure that there are plenty others, but I wouldn't count them among the most popular ones.

And did you cherry pick the good ones or did you also watch the mediocre twitch streamers?

Except not every single battle is a roflstomp is it?

Of course they do. Because it's easier to blame other things but oneself. For some unholy reason people that can't achieve it, always dismiss how actually difficult it is to maintain a high wr. Instead they go for: it's rigged. You know what the difference is between a 50% and a 60%? It's that for every 10 battles, a 60% player will manage to turn one loss into a win just on their own skill. That's it. And a 40% player will manage to lose one instead.

So can I. And it's about the same. In fact, some of them whine so much about getting terrible players that it's really gotten old (flamu for example)

Yes you have. Almost every day you say that MM is rigged against you and that good wr players only think they're good because they get "good teams" (whatever the hell those are, if there are no good players)

The thing that is far funnier is that you unironically believe that you're only losing because WG personally doesn't allow you to (because naturally, you're better than stats show you are), while high wr players are allowed to. Somehow (since apparently they aren't actually good, so who knows who the hell carries them).

And for some unknown reason you never see bad (by our standards, not yours) players in top leagues.

No idea.

Naturally, the high wr players are being carried by actual good players (you know, the 45% ones). How the wr of the players doing the apparent carrying remains so low on the other hand....well, let's not get bogged down with unnecessary logic shall we?

And yet the vast majority of whales are absolutely trash at the game.

Those ships aren't mutually exclusive you know. A few people have been known to play more than one ship.

Careful guys, he's got an emblem, he knows what's up.

Yes they are. You mean the youtube where youtubers will cherry pick their games and practically never show games where they got stomped? Not over a large number of battles. Skill is the only thing that matters then. It's easy to blame everything else but yourself for not winning.

The alternative explanation is that you (or whoever you were refering to in your comment)'re bad at the game. Because if everyone is getting trash teams (and don't even bother saying that some don't), then why are winrates still so different? Players using HE in their bbs against broadside targets aren't losing because of "rigged matches".

Seems like quite a fun ship. And since it's RB it's relatively easy to acquire. I'll be getting it. As opposed to 406s that don't overmatch anything? It looks to me like it's a ship that will lose out on potential against bad players that show broadsides but gain it when against things iowa can't overmatch. Better uptier but worse downtier.

No thanks.

Uh...no? In the "good old days" you potentially needed hundreds of battles to finish a grind. Now you only need a few dozen. The only things approaching that are some dockyards.
