You right, this graph does show a tiny piece of the story. But this would have never have came up if people did not back up this graph. People, including myself, saw how powerful the Magrider was first hand, and I'm sure anyone not playing VS saw it (i'm sure alot of VS saw this too). Does it seem kind of strange that no (to very little) VS were complaining that the Vanguard or Prowler were OP, but yet nearly every TR and NC were. Higby only looked at that graph because so many TR and NC were reporting it and the graph backed up what the TR and NC were saying.
So the graph was the hard evidence of what the TR and NC were whinning about. lol
EDIT:
Player skill is too variable. One day an awesome player could be crappy, and the next he is rocking it out. So we have to look at the total average. Time for me to sleep. Check back later if this thread hasn't blown up yet.

VS are easy to play in comparison to NC. Stock VS Vs Stock NC. NC generally loses. Stock Inf, Stock ESF, and Stock MBT. (people of equal skill 1v1)
VS and TR are about equal.
