Re: Your stats are nice. Boltshot is still OP.
Posted By: NsU Soldier <skywatcherjames@gmail.com>Date: 1/11/13 9:15 p.m.

In Response To: Re: Your stats are nice. Boltshot is still OP. (Louis Wu)


: Wait, what?

: The Boltshot caused 78 kills, the magnum caused 76. Statistically, those are
: identical to any reasonable level of precision, over 388 games. Why are
: you capitalizing COMBINED for the second time in two posts? "The
: Boltshot has as many kills as the Magnum." - this sentence is just as
: true as your far more sensationalist sentence.

1.) Statistically speaking? They are very close in this particular player's service record. But in actuality they are two different numbers.

2.) That 76 is also an artificially inflated number, as it hasn't removed deaths by Magnum in SWAT games.

3.) My point was even with the SWAT "padding" adding whatever number of kills it did to the Magnum, the Magnum still doesn't touch the Boltshot's kills. (Yes, even if it's by two kills.)

4.) Okay, so my statement was somewhat sensationalist, but it was true. That alternative statement, however, would not be factually accurate. A correct, non-"sensationalist" statement would have been, "The Magnum has almost as many kills as the Boltshot does when you include deaths by Magnum in SWAT...for KornyMunky."

And honestly the stats I've analyzed only paint part of the picture of why the Boltshot is OP. There are other inherent problems with the Boltshot's functionality as well, as RC Master touches upon (promotes camping and hinders map flow, etc.).

I'm starting to think that the only reason people defend it like they do is because they don't want to loose a starting weapon that gives them cheap and easy kills. They don't want a balanced weapon.

"Boltshot 4 lyfe!", indeed.
