<div class="IPBDescription">Built In</div>I would really love if the game had built in stats... KD, wins, losses, etc etc.
The game is a lot of fun for me, but coming from SCII, BF3, CSGO and League, stats are something important to gaming I feel. Stats give you motivation to do better play well. You feel a sense of accomplishment when you have stats or a rank to uphold. I wish that after a great hour long game where I played well, that data could be saved and built on in a profile.

Even something like SCII's ranking system, the more wins you get, the better you are ranked. Your average score and KD could play a factor in your rank as well. Rank could be a medal type (gold league, diamond) or something of a number system like Halo 3. (1 - 50)

This wouldn't affect anything about joining games or playing mind you, this would just be displayed in the tab browser so that players can see who is a good player and who is newer. I don't even need all that, just some type of stats tab where I can see general overall stats would be great . I feel like implementing something like that couldn't be that hard?

Hoping I didn't miss something huge here and stats aren't already there somewhere.

{And if I was really wishing, we could get a matchmaking system for competitive play that only starts a game when it finds x amount of players, and is best of x games.
CSGO has this, based on your rank you are pooled with certain players and can move up or down according to wins. If a player leaves early they cannot play matchmaking for 24 hours and then a week if they quit again. That's pretty far out though}

    i feel indifferent about that useless crap.

    if you want rep, join a competitive team and prove yourself in competition. don't make the mistake of believing you're good because you have >2:1 average kdr or 1000000 total points of damage etc.

    I feel that stats like KDR don't really work that well in this game. For instance you play as Gorge healing an Onos you're not fighting and your KDR is likely to be terrible but does that make you a bad player? I've seen plenty of teams with impressive KDRs that lost the game because they were all hang back heroes. None of them were prepared to risk their ratio for the sake of their team.

    Also given that a lot of how well you do is dependent on what upgrades you have researched the KDR ratio really means fk all in terms of skill.
