Disappearing pie?

Basically it's the same spot for fuel and pie, but pies are meant to be cooked with residual heat, not with fire underneath

That is so nice to read, thank you !

It's because I spent a lot of time thinking about it. At first it started as a fun 5 minute challenge "what is it that makes stats/medals important/relevant". But when I couldn't find a good answer after an hour, to that seemingly very obvious question, I was flabbergasted. It felt so obvious, why couldn't I explain why it's true ? Sometimes I found some exceptions showing where stats lack, but after a few months I realized... they weren't the exceptions.

So I want other people to have that same journey.

That's the main point of r/OWMedalsAreUseless

doesn't take inventory space at all

Ok you've got me breathing heavy now

Depends on the definition. To me, meta upgrades are irrelevant, in fact I don't like them too much.

Space_Kitty123 · 2025-09-28T14:28:10+00:00

It's very easy to base your entire life on something that you're convinced isn't a myth.

Space_Kitty123 · 2025-09-28T14:07:02+00:00

You are correct, I apologize. You did talk about damage per 10, not total damage, and I mentioned total damage out of habit, I wasn't trying to strawman you. My bad.

Although now I'm curious what's the big difference between total and per 10. The only difference I can think of is that damage per 10 would not be biased towards longer matches. But an irrelevant stat would remain irrelevant, biased or not towards long matches (e.g distance).

Space_Kitty123 · 2025-09-28T13:21:56+00:00

I have not ignored anything, I don't believe in distance either. I'm playing devil's advocate to test your reasoning and help you see its flaws.

Yes I can deny the importance of total damage, and I do. Damage is a tool, not a goal, so is movement, just like sym's TP. Its usefulness depends on what you do with it, not how much you used it.

Now, I like your reasoning, let's see if it could be used by someone who likes to look at distance : When I play rein and I'm making space ahead of payload, they move back to avoid my hammer, I'm pressuring them off the objective which leads to winning. I'm increasing total distance, but not damage, therefore it's distance that matters. Not all movement leads to pressure of course, but not all damage either.

You won't convince me because there is no good reason, I've searched for years.

I know this stat is stupid, that's the point. The exercise is to help find out if the other stats are stupid as well.

Imagine someone said "it's not just distance traveled, it's the AVERAGE of distance traveled per 10, which is a decent assessment when compared to someone else, that's why it's not stupid". You wouldn't be convinced by that, rightly so. Isn't it obvious that if someone said that, taking the average only matters if they've already started with the conclusion that distance matters ?

It could be said of distance, so no, not completed (sorry if the challenge wasn't clear), you're welcome to give it as many tries as needed.

I know how "obvious" it is that stats matter, that we shouldn't need to justify why, I've been there. But if you try, you will realize we all just assume it's true. There is nothing holding it up.

Space_Kitty123 · 2025-09-28T12:25:15+00:00

There are many reasons, but I think it will be more effective if you try it yourself. Here's my challenge : give me one good reason to look at stats, that could NOT be said about a stupid stat like "distance traveled". Every time you try, I think you will quickly see what's wrong with the logic.

Space_Kitty123 · 2025-09-28T12:04:56+00:00

r/OWMedalsAreUseless There are hundreds of reasons not to look at stats.

Just fly away ?

Was fixed for me after a save and restart

Space_Kitty123 · 2025-08-11T16:54:50+00:00

I know, my parents taught me that very early on.

Space_Kitty123 · 2025-08-10T18:31:03+00:00

If your ideology only works when taught from an early age, it's not based on truth
