Ignoring the real point of the topic ill just say one thing. Waving 6:1 kd around as any kind of cav player is not impressive. I consider myself a pretty average player and I managed a 4:1 KD as a 1h cav.
I don't see why people care about the K:D ratio at all...A high K:D ratio doesn't mean anything. It doesn't mean the player is good.
Likewise a low K:D ratio doesn't mean the player is bad.
I don't see why people get impressed by players topping the scoreboards or by players being good in duels either.
Instead you should be impressed and show appreciation to those contributing to their team the most.
Not saying that a 2H player getting 30-1 score isn't helping the team because he clearly does.
Just saying that the 0 kill thrower killing 5 enemy horses every round probably contributes more.
Who is the best player then?
IMO the best player is always the one contributing the most to the team, resulting in a round win.Assisting kills are worth just as much as kills and giving other players help by making them survive is also worth something.
Actually you can be the one contributing the most even though you make 0 damage to the enemy every round.
Even a lvl 1 peasant can be it. For example he could act bait fighting 5 "stupid" cavalry players at the same time.
If he manages to do this for 1-2min it usually means a victory for the ream.
