Strat feeds this game, whether you like it or not. Every time strat stopped, NA1 stopped. 4 vs 4 tourneys don't drive this game, Strat does. An awesome dueler is good for defending/capping flags or for hanging out on the flanks. Guys who fight in a group, oddly enough, are good for fighting in a group. They are the guys you run to in a big battle. Just be the diversion while they kill. And some guys just know where to be in a big battle. If they run, you should run too.
And I don't believe in level crutching. It gives them a small bonus. I don't whine when a level 32 beats my level 30. If you really believe that a lvl 36 can only survive because of their level, well then, you must admire their patience in keeping the same character for years and dying and dying and dying until they could finally reach the levels they could kill people at.
Most of the people I have talked to were pretty happy with their results, maybe claiming to be 1 or 2 levels higher. I was just ecstatic that I wasn't the lowest tier. I do adequately in NA1, but horrible in strat. It could be because people know my banner and see an easy kill.
???? who are you arguing with? i never claimed that strat wasnt good for the community, or that 4v4s kept the community alive. I said judging who is a good player based off strat is retarded because strat battles take fuckin hours and in order to top frag you need to play for its entirety. and ya what ur saying is true, people can be good at group fighting and bad at dueling and vice versa. But according to knightmares criteria, a S player needs to be competent in both, and a good chunk of those S players are trash at dueling, also before ppl start screaming down my ear "HAHA WHY DO UCARE SO MUCH UR SO SALTY LOL" im just sharing my humble opinion in order to make this list as accurate as possible !!1!
