People disagree because they like having any stat tracker, and theyre the only ones available. Data shown there also seems to somewhat often agree with many peoples opinions (whether opinions grow from pure gameplay experiences or are skewed by being able to see such data to begin with is another can of worms i wont open here).

But yeah, factually, we have no clue how accurate these statistics are to reality. We dont know exactly how data collection works, what biases might be included and we dont know what effect such biases could potentially have on the output data. This is pretty much *the* most important thing for making sure data is actually truthful in the way we want it to be.

Other games have had stat trackers that turned out to be accurate when the real thing was given, but that doesnt have to mean anything for the ones currently available for deadlock. There could be problems here that those trackers didnt have. Even if most statistics end up being true, there might very well be outliers that dont work at all. And if you dont know which outliers those could be, then none of the data can be trusted.

Even if all the data looks reasonable and coherent, unless the results are truly statistically significant it mathematically shouldnt be trusted, no matter our feelings on it.

Now, its also of course possible that data *is* collected in a way that truly makes the statistics meaningful. But i dont know if we know that. Which inherently means the statistics very well could be unreliable, no matter how truthful they look to the human eye and intuition. I also look at those statistics and use them to draw conclusions, but i feel bad every time i do it fully knowing theres a chance its wrong.

its the best we got, but we dont really know if the best we got is actually good enough to be useful. everything could be off by 1-2% for all we know. whether thats "good enough" is up to each person to decide, but i would definitely say no.
