Not really. It’s showing why he asked that question. That’s how it works, make an observation and ask a question.
Yep, I fully admit this.
I think he could have asked that question without the addition of the damage comment. Sorry, but when someone becomes an MVP on here, they are, for better or worse, held to a higher standard. His post just came off as accusatory, and there was no need for that. You will not change my mind about it, you could argue until pigs fly and all the cows come home.

That’s arguable in light of the “I am guessing you have a preference for base defending” part. That needs a set up to define why such a question is being asked.
Now the adjective “super” could have been omitted for sure but the context of low damage was needed there imo.

I disagree with you but that’s because his ss did show low damage. Did you even look at it?
I did. And just because his ss showed it, it does not mean it needed to be pointed out.
Like Squeek said, it was a follow up to why he was asking the question he was. Tbh, the MVP handled that pretty well.
And what was the point of him making the comment that he seemed to prefer base sitting? The question left the suggestion that if he does prefer base sitting, he shouldn’t be doing it. And that is just flat out wrong, some of the best base sitters are rogues.
Something is clearly not right if he’s seeing such low wins. And not all maps are base sitting maps either.
The point of asking that question gave him an out (something a loaded question doesn’t do btw) as to the low damage.
He didn’t suggest anything at that point. It did set up to ask further questions based on the answers and he would have been right to suggest that maybe he try doing something else if the OP had said that it is what he does.
If things aren’t working, changing what YOU do is the only thing you can affect. Doing the same thing repeatedly and hoping it gets better is well, you know by now right? You can’t affect what I or anyone else does, you can affect what you do and that is it. Some of us are not having as bad a go at it so it’s not something he can just blame on the faction.
Try to do something different, whether it is intuitive or not. <—That’s the best advice anyone can give in a situation like this.

Well said again Squeek.
I agree that continuing to do the same thing but expecting a different result wont work. I also agree that giving someone tips about what they could be doing is fine. But the green could have simply asked about his playstyle preference, and what he normally does in bgs. And the entire damage thing should have just been left alone, at least by the green. Where angels tread and all.
The assumption that the op is the problem was already being bandied about in the thread, it should have been left alone by the green. People are quick enough to lay blame on one person in this forum, when anyone who has played any amounts of bgs at all knows there are just too many factors in every bg for one person to account for a string of losses.

Low damage in every BG is a pretty big factor
Assumptions aside let me say this:
You’re right that there are many factors in a bg and one person is not the reason in most cases that a game was lost. But games are often decided by which team makes the fewest mistakes, or does less wrong. That doesn’t make one player responsible, but it could be that player’s actions account for some of the many factors in losses.
As an individual, you could change what you’re doing and see if that changes that ledger. Things that used to be the right thing to do, are sometimes the wrong things to do now (look at how alliance plays AV and loses so often now as an example of this).
Every action a person takes is either a positive or a negative of some scale. If your positives go up, then the overall positives go up. That is what can tip the scale sometimes. That’s how one player can start to see an overall increase in winrates. You’re still gonna get crapped on a fair share of the time. That just happens. But if you win 10 more games out of a hundred than you used to, that a much bigger increase than it sounds.

Isn’t this the “your damage is low were you base guarding” thread or am I mixing this up with another thread.
Big deal. Having one’s game performance scrutinized is hardly as big of a deal as you imply it is. If it is that big of a deal, maybe sit back and rethink some things. How this progressed to domestic violence is mind-boggling.
Eh, you can blame me. I took a quote and blew it out of proportion

I don’t believe you. Reflex screens plx.

Then you need to read the progression. It was an analogy commonly used to describe what a loaded question is. It got blown out of proportion by someone who wasn’t even a main participant in the conversation.
I don’t need to rethink anything. As I stated before, unless you are playing side by side with a person, no one has the right to call them out about their performance because they cannot know everything going on in the situation.
I agree with you that pretty much anyone can find ways to improve their performance, and I agree that there are often things completely out of control of one person.
You blew the MVP post way out of proportion and that was your first post in this entire thread.
No thanks. I’ll take Jugaa’s word for it in her owning up to it comment. No need to dig further than that. Just something I noticed flipping through focusing on the reply alerts I had.
