I'm not sure what argument you think I'm making. It's not an argument, it's an attack on credibility.

Scrimbul, not me, specifically used you and Batman as Exhibits 1 and 2 for why Ragers are overpowered. Moreover, the only objective bases he used from you two guys were your PK stats. (Batman's only PK stats and your hypothetical PK stats.). He also said that your rager would get kicked out.

I cast doubt on the credibility of his support by pointing out that you actually had played a solid rager that did not get kicked out, and your rager's PK stats were far less than his hypothetical ones, as well as far less than the ABS Mage that you played immediately afterward.

As for the quoted section, above, if
1. that Rager-player's ONLY Mage sucked at PK, and
2. that Rager-player claimed that Mages were overpowered,
then, yes, I think his only mage's PK suckiness is directly relevant to the credibility of his opinion that Mages are OP.
