5 reasons why PS4 players need a parser in game

[Reiryuu]

I think I know why SE don't want parsers, and we'll likely never see them in game. It's not a level playing field, and never will be. You can have the same player, same skill, parse them at sub 50ms, then at 150/200/300. There will be a marked difference based on ping alone.

One of the reasons they have said is that they don't want people to be able to reverse engineer the damage formulas. Whether that's a true concern of theirs or not doesn't really matter to me. I am in agreement with them and think that parsers will be more detrimental than good if they are "legalized" per se.
