Ignoring the fact that the're straight up admitting that they're leaving the mech in for bad players to feel good about themselves (hey let's just give random players in Modern Warfare AC-130 killstreaks to start the match so they don't feel bad!), they're completely ignoring how mechs change the entire game and how people play in ways that are so very conveniently not shown on a kill graph, such as:
-Players changing their starting drop location after jumping out either to avoid or go for mechs once they appear
-Players engaging or not engaging in rotations or fights they would have otherwise based on the mech location/fight
-Players carrying items they otherwise wouldn't normally carry (minigun or boogie bombs as examples) just to deal with a potential mech fight shorting them slots they would normally have more preferable items in
-People who like to immediately go for the mech on spawn and just detonate it immediately to get it out of play which me, my friends, and several streamers do
The fact that they had to try to resort to misleading graphs to try to justify their continued existence is actually pathetic. *I* am the trash player they are stating they want to appease and I think it's one of the worst game design decisions I've ever seen in a multiplayer game, and virtually everyone of all skill levels agrees. I'm not spending any more real money on the game (I get more than enough vbucks from StW daily logins plus the vbucks from the pass) and I may be done after hitting tier 100 this season for good. Even if they decided to vault it tomorrow, they've completely lost the plot on multiple occasions now and I can't frankly don't trust them long-term at this point. Like NO ONE is happy with the mechs across the entire gamut of playerskill and playerbase in a way I'm not sure I've seen offhand in a game like this before, and they still won't budge.
I'm almost buying into the theory at this point that this is going to wind up being revealed as some sort of cross promotional marketing thing and that's why they can't drop it. The straws they are grasping at are absurd at this point.
