Guild Wars 2

So question for you all… if you were to try to evaluate someones play based on collected stats alone, which ones would you pay most attention to?

Observation 1:
I’ve noticed a tendancy. In matches where our team wins considerably, my score is typically one of the lower ones. I matches where we loose quite horribly, mine is one of the higher ones. I thought it a rather amusing observation. To bad it doesn’t work that if I simply work at getting a bad score it results in our team winning So the relationship is somewhate inversely proportional.

Observation 2:
I was looking at the combat stats where you can calculate out damage taken vs. damage received and healing accomplished. These stats seem to have a much better correlation to how my team does in an actual match. There are few games in which my damage output tripples damage taken in which our team lost. Which I suppose makes sense.

I kind of wish they would remove score or make it personal rather than public. Certain actions don’t affect score, and that is the issue. Scoring can’t be perfect. I think it can be a little too misleading. What profession do you play?

A very good point. Profession matters. If your a highly mobile +1 profession you’ll probably see scores like mine. Personally I’m an engi. My current build is an all rounder which I find best for solo q. I haven’t been sold on the gyro meta, so I run a rabid with hammer.

Score doesn’t mean anything in terms of wins vs loses.

Stats rarely mean anything either. (only valid in comparing builds really)

Its this reason why spvp is so hard for most folks to get into. What you should do and why is very misleading to players with less than 1,000 games.
