W/L ratios don't mean a whole lot. A lot of people (including gaffers) quit if the other team is winning by far but, lo and behold, when we are steamrolling and either racing to the crates with ease or base raping nobody hardly ever quits.
I have to somewhat disagree.
*rings the Dream about to offend someone bell*
With the exception of one or two people (ex: compulsive quitter Sekoku), I personally think that a significantly high w/l ratio is a good indicator of the playstyle, not necessarily skill, of peoples play.
I, for example, probably only have a high w/l in rush since I prefer to watch the crates like a hawk (even if were steamrolling). Hence the motto, If Im getting Ace pins, then theres something seriously wrong with the team.
Of course, does not necessarily mean the team will win? I dont know.
Although I assume the teams chance of losing should be much lower than usual
Assuming equal skill levels and RUSH only, a lower w/l among gaffers often indicates to me that a player is more likely: 1) an aggressive front line type, 2) more likely to be vehicle focused/obsessed. This bias of mine has usually turned out to be right (again, observers bias.)
Admittedly, I would therefore avoid playing with a certain combination of Gaffers to save myself the stress + people hearing me agonize over creates that shouldnt be lost (ex: I cant comfortably play rush with a team of just aggressive-type players.)
All of the BS above doesnt apply to conquest though, where team actions tend to matter more than individual action.
