AlwaysBadLuckWithTeams Weekend Tester 1,469 posts 37,910 battles Report post #1 Posted July 11, 2019 So I've been wondering before the season, with only 10 stars needed, how many matches can one actually play? 50 ? 100 ? Is triple digits actually possible ? And then I stumbled across this player. When I first met him, he had 111 matches at the safe r3. I kept an eye on him, and finally, after 188 matches in a sprint season, he finally got there. Can you really be this bad ? Or as he would probably call it: unlucky with stupid teams ? Or did he intentionally throw matches to get a counter as high as possible for the lulz ? I am still flabbergasted. I surely will watch him how he is doing in the 6th season.... 1 8 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

This sort of thing can be considered stat shaming, btw... 1 2 5 5 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

That is a complete different side of the topic, and I don't want to talk about hidden stats in general, then I would need to report my post, and then sanction it :) 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Did I disagree? Like you said, it's not against the forum rules since it's not giving the identity of the player involved, i.e.: doesn't fulfill the "name" aspect of the "naming and shaming" violation. Hence why you are technically correct with it not violating ToS, despite the fact that strictly speaking invicta isn't incorrect to say that it's stats shaming in a general sense (the thread is obviously mocking the bad performance).
