Hmmmm, where to start...lol. quote:
Since your implying that your the best and everyone that boosts is garbage. Nope, not implying anything. People who boost will have a higher win ratio than those who don't, like you said. All I'm saying is that a higher win ratio does not a better (experienced) player make. quote:
Timing should not be something I should have to explain. trying to survive until blocks start functioning as they should against a low dex str spammer isn't something I should have to explain to such a pro. You're talking probability, and in the end, it all evens out. One match vs. a low-dex str spammer you never block, and the next one you block four times. Happens all the time. But over time, the numbers don't lie. If your chance to block an opponent is 40%, if you fight them enough times that's where it will end up. Really, the difference between us is that I don't feel the need to boost when I'm going through one of those "not blocking" periods. Statistically, like I said, it will even out, so I take the good with the bad like everyone else does. The first word of RNG is random, in case you forgot, and it works for you just as much as it does against you. quote:
I guess we should all just have super fast builds that are incapable of surviving beyond round 3 and let first turn decide our fates then... If you want a super fast win build go for it. As for me, right now I'm really enjoying my 10-turn, 2-heal, Tecnician, Static Charge like 4 times build. It's slow as molasses and very reliant on blocking and not being blocked. And the funny thing is, sometimes I beat 34 full varium "Wall build" tac mercs who boost twice. quote:
And they block 4 times, crit twice, and deflect three times! Your going to say that they are more experienced? When their the one still having their starter weapon and a level 19 aux at level 30?! Thats bs to me. I don't see why you believe using everything you have at your disposal to win means you've been outmatched and you are a unskilled player. I know it's several pages before this, but in the beginning I specified that we're assuming an even-leveled, Varium vs. Varium fight. Furthermore, in your example, I'd say that player earned that win---even if it was lucky. Good for them! Me beating a player 4 levels below me means absolutely nothing. But to that player, think how awesome they feel when that *extremely rare* win does happen! I guess I'm just not so wrapped up in my win ratio as some of you are. All I know is that boosters ruin good games, not make them.
