I don't see how K/D ratio isn't a skill reflection lol? Obviously if your score is shit most of the time it would suggest something.
K/D shows quite a bit. Unless your K/D is low a lot it's not something you want to talk about.
1. what makes a player good at a game that's very skill based?
Teamwork? Yah but that's easy we know what to do. Good at many different builds? yah some people are. Can do things on the fly? yup
So I gotta say The best players would be the monsters who can
1. Feint very, very well while attacking.
2. Footwork, angles spins etc for the kill shot.
3. Amazing blocking
That's about it. If you can't do these things that well you should practice cause your K/D ratio wil be low. If your K'D ratio is low on your team, is it fair to say you're not that good?
K/D is the main skill indicator of skill. But not when you'd use the cookie cutter builds that are easier to get kills with.
So if you're using an easy build to get kills more often then others you shouldn't be considered that good.
Easier builds to win with against more skilled builds. Now I'll say now there are some, very few shielders that are good. But most of them arn't that good when the shield breaks. Go check The guy every noob seems to love Balb out. His shield breaks and "ohh ohh he doesn't seem soo good anymore" To point out he has 24 agility and uses the Elite Scimitar to outswing people. Just to let people know. There's a reason he doesn't play anything else seriously. No 2handers for him or polearms.
Lists of easier builds to start with and easier to kill people with
1. Would be archers and throwers. 1-2 hit kills maybe 3 from far away. good build for beginners to start with but easy to kill with
2. Next and a lot of people use. Shielders. Using a shielder obviously fixes a few problems. Now you don't have to block until it breaks. So the blocking skill is something you don't have to deal with. You could just hold your shield up and wait for backup to save you if you liked. Simple feints left swing, overhead with a fast weapon like the Elite Scimitar. Or others
3. After those it goes into move skilled builds that take advantage of the players raw skills. ( And so you know most builds of 1handers also kill 2handers 2-3 hits as well.)
two handers, Polearms or one hander with no sheild. Commonsense here, I don't need to tell why it's harder then using a bow or throwing crap or wearing a sheild
Now the Cookie cutter Weapons people use to get easier kills with. (If you're trying to outspam someone with a fast build and a fast weapon rather then relying on your own skill you're not good. Aka Outswinging people. That's spamming. Not feinting like a lot of noobs say.
1. Elite Scimitar/ The other sword like it near the bottom of the list.
2. Great maul (Any crushthough weapon)
3. Steel shielder that lasts 20 hits
4. Long spears. to walk people down with a buddy and hold poke so they can't do anything against you or your buddy. Mostly on battle it fixes the problem of you being not that good. Just poke them, they get stunned then hit by your friend. It's an easy thing to do very unskilled.
5. The jumping poke with very long spears. Using only 1 attack, the poke to kill people with. this was suppose to be fixed. But wasn't, you'll be right in front of someone then they jump and spin and poke you with their 15 foot pole. Somehow it hits you when it didn't even come near you.
6.People that walk around in all plate. Most of them suck but still a cheap thing to do.
That's about it for now. I know all the players that use these things won't like this post but so what. They know why they do what they do. Some people say those builds are good to start with and some people don't care about skill they just like getting kills
More things can be added if you people like. The reason I mention these things is because I like to kill people using my own skills and not relying on builds or specific weapons. In every game out there are overpowered weapons or builds. You know in Cod's Bf any game. It's just cheap and pathetic to have to always use them to win. It's okay to fuck around with a build here and there for fun. But to use it seriously all the time, you're just a big fat pussy lol
And for your info I've used 1handers, 2handers, polearms archers all builds. But for fun. I mostly use the 2handers and poles for more enjoyment and skill.
So that's how the Little Burger king crown should go.
