What's the point of 3 weeks long stats?

Every time I see almost any stats on a new killer, I don't understand why devs even publish it. 3 weeks immediately after the release is the time during which killers teach new killer, and survivors learn to play against him, so I'm not interested in these statistics at all.
What worries me even more: why does BHVR post stats that end on July 7 on SEPTEMBER 9? Why can't you release more extensive statistics, which at least will affect June-September and will be more objective? It's so weird for me. Some posting just for posting stuff.

    Agree. I posted this in a different topic: these stats are not really helpful because there are so many things that affect these stats:

    • When a new killer drops, the killer-player will learn this one quicker than the survivor because the killerplayer plays him more than the average survivor sees him. So the survivors need more time to understand the killer which affects the killrate. 3% pickrate is also not alot for a new killer that is also the anniversary killer so survivors see him not that often. I remember when Unknown was released and survivors made the mistake to hug the walls which was nearly always a free UVX hit. Today, survivors learned to not hug the wall because of UVX which made this ability wrose.
    • Vecna is also a special case because he has an unique achievement and players love to throw the match for archives and achievements. He also has these magic items which survivors also have to understand how good they are and how worth it it is to look for them.
    • There is no information if the developers took the stats from the anniversary modifier too or not which has also an impact on the stats. Also if they used matches with a dc and/or early hook kill.

    It's been said that stats don't change much so no matter the date range Vecna's killrate is likely going to be the same.

    On NL it become 7% lower from first weeks to now. With no exception every killer had way higher kill rate in first month, than on average now. Regardless of if stats change anything or not, what's the point to publish it, if it reflects literally nothing?
