A new stat idea for implementation into the postgame

New stat: number of chat messages typed

So my hypothesis is that there will be some sort of equivalency between certain values of this and winrate a la flaming teammates or something of the sort, but there are other applications like perhaps a team that has more messages total gets more objectives. I'm sure, in the interest of science we could get this implemented and learn all sorts of new things together.

oh, and maybe pings could be somehow included

The problem is that this does not differentiate between appropriate and inappropriate use of these. When I type alot, it can mean that I gave advice to my team and communicated well. Or it can mean I was flaming more than actually playing the game.

Same for pings. It can mean that I warned my team members accordingly for threats, or I simply ? spammed them after each death.

That information alone has no value.

I imagine that 1 person talking a lot is probably bad because he is most likely flaming. 2-3 probably means that there is good communication. 5 is the worst because there was most likely flame that got to people and some are trying to quit and others are trying to get their team back together.
