I agree with everything Ceimson writes.
KDR is the single most important stat for anybody in a FPS, this really can't be argued. The community arranged elite vs O-holder games in MAG showed exactly what supposedly more team oriented play results in. They lost. Hard.
That being said, we have to get our feet on the ground. What is a good KDR? Any suport kind of player which can keep it at least 1, is good in my book. Someone said something in the line of "I'll take the 3 KDR O-holder over the 5 KDR tryhard anyday". Yes and no. In any case so should a 3 KDR be good enough for any standard.
I'll give you the once and for all list of noob-tryhard kind of players with description and everything, thats just how nice I am 
Tryhard
KDR is everything. This is the kind of player who like to lie out of thouch on his belly all round and snipe, he'll rather go 7-0 than 30-10. This is also the kind of guy who baby sits a spawn, instead of capping the letter, he may sit there, even with his RE just in case anyone accidentally spawn there. He rage quits out of games if his team is pushed too far, he may even go to lesser game-modes just too keep that KDR respectable.
Elite O-holder
I'd like to think I'm one. The win is everything. This is for the "do what needs to be done" kind of player. Will take any objective he can but will make sure that its secure first. He's KDR is never spectacular but normally 2 or more. He can stand his ground against the tryhards. This guy knows how to shoot, move, support and win. He is aware of his KDR and try to protect, but will never back out of a fight to protect it. I think that many of the seasonen MAG players you'll face in Dust falls into this category. A good KDR doesn't mean thats all you're good for.
The O-holders
See above, remove the good gun game. Respected by all, except by the tryhards. These are the guys that will be the work horse of most of the clans. He is dedicated, dutiful and always tries his best. A better player will shoot him in the head while he shoots in the body. Some will become more "elite" by experinece, like I did, some will just be mediocre and still contribute and have fun.
The Noobs
Might just aswell write ******* in many cases. They have some gun game, perhaps even very good gun game. These guys couldn't care less about objectives, kdr or anything. They will just have fun. These guys tend to find exactly what is OP at the time and stick with it. They might spend an entire game just to see if they can get onto that ledge so that they can go somewhere they're not supposed to be to do all kinds of shenanigance. They can't fight well straight up so they tend pretend it doesn't bother them and rely on silly stuff to pass the day.
The Newbs
Title says it all really. Don't bash on people for playing stupidly when they're all new. It takes time to learn the general way of playing FPS's and it certainly takes time to learn the ropes in Dust. I hope you guys rather like to give a helping hand instead of putting them down. This is vital for long term recruitment into games like these, so do your best to welcome new players, or else non of us will have easy targets... |
