Most of those "pros" just had a lot of SP and took advantage of a ludicrously OP fits. It wasn't even really about how talented you are. I've played with a lot of the "pros" on other games like Destiny, BF or CS:GO and they just plain suck. It was easy before because of the SP gaps of players, and you could just bulldoze through a squad with the most OP weapons in the game. Those same "pros" that still play all got caught up to by a lot of the old hardcore community they used to wreck. I know from personal experience. Btw, PSN: TerrifiedPotato if anyone wants to play some BF4 or GTA V, lemme know
^ This. I watched that video ydubbs posted in another thread, talking about the "greatest vets" on both sides. Watched the entire video....guys were good AT BEST, certainly not the greatest ever. OP fits galore, no strategy, no logistics, no teamwork, total **** show. Fiddle, you were running around in a min logi with MD and got pwnt terribly. Vets lost the sp advantage, subsequently plateaued, and left due to their lack of OP in reality (some got burnt out, and other reasons, I understand). Get over it, either you're good now or you never were. We're still here, ready for the challenge....certainly not to say in any way "well, we're the best because no one else is here anymore," honestly I wish those guys were still here so we could test this theory. They were good in their respective times. Simply a judgement call based on what I've seen for 18 months. Kalante, Arirana, Espeon, etc. still running around pulling 5.0's daily - no one can argue those guys don't have talent, STILL. TO. THIS. DAY. Go into a pub blunt, many that you thought were scrubs long ago have caught up to you. |

dubbs im not saying in that pc one or more of the guys versing each other had more sp than another. I'm saying, THOSE guys in that pc had 6.0+ k/d's on the leaderboards and 50k more kills than 90% of the playerbase. And everyone boasts them as being the elite. You're right, people in that match probably barely had a suit or vehicle, 1 or 2 roles at most, and fought well. My argument is, the guys you see that don't play anymore...the beta vets with insane k/d's w/l's....if they started at the exact time I did (uprising), would not have such numbers. I spent 6 months getting crushed by them, CRUSHED, but I had what? A dragonfly suit and 5 mil sp? Stood no chance.
I believe that, you bring those same teams back right now - give them however much time they need to unrust - and have pc's verse any of the top 10 weekly corps right now. It would shock you to believe the "no-namers" on the newer side that I'd place my bet on. When bf3 came out, the clan I formed absolutely demolished the game for about 3-4 months...I took a break, everyone caught up. We became mortal.
Just look at our corp k/d or w/l. Terrible comparatively to the elite corps of old. I remember our stats being below 1.0 for both, having our entire corp membership post-uprising players. I would bet every isk I have that we could match up to any one corp, not 16 elite ringer teams mind you....the actual corp itself. Hell OH has twice as good stats as us, we went 50/50 with them at their peak. FPS games are half talent, half knowledge of the game mechanics itself (maps/weaponry etc.). In the future, I see an FPS where professional matches are on unique maps no one has ever seen before - talent/teamwork will prevail. |
