Why do Some Argue Against Skill Based MM?

And this wasn't bragging, it was me informing him that the numbers changed so he doesn't accuse me of lying. - Second paragraph says looking at it monthly is stupid  Yep, just like picking the 500+ for a tech tree tank - Third paragraph tells us he doesn't understand what "challege" and "pointless" mean.  In that a 50% ctw battle IS a challenge, you might only win half of them - challenge.  While a 20% ctw battle, you'll lose 85-95% of them - pointless. Oh, I know what a challenge is: trying to win a fight you are supposed to lose. I also know what pointless is: trying to get you to use logic and reason correctly. - As for selecting 500+, umm, WG chose to make that the benchmark, you moron.   What's more impressive, having a 60% win rate for 50 battles, or having a win rate of 60% for 500 battles?  The higher the battle count, the harder it is to maintain a high win rate - DUH...    That's the same reason I use the date "Since 2014", that's the longest time period WG tracks - thus having a high win rate over a longer period of time is more impressive than having a high win rate for a very short periof of time - DUH. It's actually 60% at 150+ and 60% at 500+. You know, 150+, the other category actually used for all time stats. And I'd rate those at about the same. But to be in the top 10 for 150+ you need over 70%, which is a lot more impressive than the 500+ requirement, because you dealing with most players who played through the tank. The 500+ takes most good players out of the selection because people just don't play tech tree tanks that much unless they have a reason. Also, the more you play a tank, the more you minimize the effect of the stock grind. The number of battles you played at less then full capacity shrinks % wise. - But you keep on touting your 'monthly' win rate...  If it bugs you this much, maybe I will.
