All those points are totally arbitrary, regardless of how much data you accumulate, and when you try and bring it down to spreadsheet level analysis you miss the most important factor, that being the pilot. I feel like the best thing to do if you wanna see something different would be innovating a counter rather than choosing to wall yourself off within the confines of a like-minded herd. I find it incredibly hard to believe that you've done all this testing and the best you can come up with is just to throw out the things you don't like. If you called it casual it wouldn't be an issue, but your calling it competitive and the problems your trying to address are things people use (maliciously, but hey COD logic lol) to get a competitive edge. We may typically be dealing with cookie cutter builds in matchmaking and while they may do well they are by no means hard to anticipate. Your creating a situation were individuals who may actually innovate strategy aren't even on the board with the rest of us however and the already borderline player base will only consist of masochists (like myself) and Scooty Puff Junior. I believe that your group may share these opinions and you may have encountered these problems but that doesn't mean it's a problem for everybody, and the fact that you've seen it from that other side should give you the nuance to see that what your doing long term only hinders development of the community at large. We need pilots out here who can actually fly and not rely on just component build. I've seen players running standard Fighters dumping Build Boys, and while that may be my personal experience, every single player you've ever flown with or against started with those same standard builds. Now the flawed game mechanic of being able to continue striking out of phase is another conversation entirely. It breaks the flow of the match and turns into a s***fit of trying to sink the objective before the other team can gank yours, is maddening but that's my opinion and the devs want it a different way then it's literally their game.

I concede that I can definitely appreciate what your doing, but I respectfully disagree with it, and that is why.
