Is anyone guilty of looking up other people stat while in game? How often do you guys look at your teammate stats before you know your team is about to get stomped? If these questions are not enough...look at the one under..

 

How many of you guys actually care about stats?

 

Be honest.

I only look up someones stats when they start abusing people for being noobs.  Normally find they are complete potatoes and don't have a ruddy clue.  :Smile-_tongue:

I check my own stats regularly - it's the way I make sure that I have some pressure to improve.

 

I also check other people's stats if they stand out - either they have a phenomenal game, in which case I want to see if it was a fluke or if they are actually god-like, in which case I will PM them and try to learn from them.

Conversely if I see a t10 player that does nothing the whole match, I will occasionally check their stats out of pure curiosity. It's like when you're driving and you see someone doing something really stupid, you will try to see their face out of curiosity.

 

I will also occasionally check stats of people handing out advice. That doesn't mean that I don't take their opinions into account, just that I will be a bit more skeptic because then their advice is unproven theory while if someone is super-unicum on a boat, they are speaking from experience.

 

Stats are important to me as they are the only objective measure we have.

Me and a division mate have a little mini game - if we get a rager on our team who starts screaming about noob team we play guess the WR.

Point of note though: we don't then actually bring up their WR in chat, its purely a game for our personal amusement

All the time, as T0byJug says it is useful to do it as the game loads. Not just CVs. I look for very good or very bad players then either avoid or play near those players. I want to smoke to BB player with high damage/kills rather than the one who can't hit anything. I use matchmaking monitor which does all the work for you. Download from mods section.

^This.

 

Out of battle - I do track my own regularly. How else do you know that you are improving (and yes, enjoying the game is why I play, but getting stuff very wrong goes against my grain).

 

Q:- I would guess that quite a few of the people who do look up while in battle have 2 screens? I have to alt-tab.

NEVER during the game.

If you have time for that, you are doing something wrong.

This. I also throw it their face and it usually descends to a total crapfest. I also look at my own stats regularly.

You've got to learn what to prioritize.

I look up the stats of the BB players in my team art the start of a match when playing a ship with smoke. When in doubt of who to smoke, i smoke up the better players because they have more impact on the game most of the time.

I look at my own stats regulairy. To see if I have improved myself. 

 

I look at stats of another if (mostly after the game) :

- Players do some unusual maneuvers or tactics ingame. (Maybe I have missed something and they know better as me (result :  most of the time they have a 44-46% WR).

- Players do some strange suggestions (c.q demands) of how I play a particulair vessel (Result : most of the time they have a 44-46% WR or don't play that class or techtree at all).

- Players who blame others to be killed (Result : Most of the time players with a very bad WR or a high WR).

I have done in ranked in previous seasons, for key ships, but I haven't even bothered doing that recently.

 

If I am waiting for the game to start I am usually faffing with my phone, or looking at the news, or imgur, or reddit.

 

I don't see the point in looking up ship stats just so that you can decide you are going to lose before the match starts - to me that is terrible attitude! You just need to put your big boy pants on try your best and that goes for any match you are in.

I check them after each time I have stopped playing - I only look at my own, but occasionaly I check if I am close to the top players for specific ships(only PR/WTR as my WR isn't great) :cap_wander_2:

I hardly check statistics in-game; statistics are just that, statistics that doesn't take the moment and the flow of a battle into account. However, if one player really plays well, I will check his/her (you never know) statistics afterwards as I am always on the look-out for new talent for the clan

I do check my own statistics very often though; always challenging myself to improve

I only look up other players stats if they start mouthing off.

 

As for my own stats I only really care about them by extension. I want to do my best so that often means better stats. But I never try to hunt a certain damage number bar or anything similar.

Never before a battle..... never used XVM in WoT either because I would rather enjoy the game and do my best to win in any circumstances rather than lose hope at the beginning.

Never done it. 

 

I can can understand that's valuable information but at the same time I feel it's a sort of prejudice, don't really sure if I expressed myself clearly.

 

Every bad player can have a great game, some players with really good stats could simply be sealclubbers playing their weekly high tier game.

Only time I check player stats before battle starts is when I play with CV, to see whether I stand a chance or not :Smile_bajan2:. Also if someone starts the usual noob-rant in chat then I'll play the "guess WR" game...
