k feel free to impersonate me in league of legends then
Yeah I know, League of Legends is far too low skill to match Sauer (which isn't even really high skill in itself when you compare it to other games like high level quake or even CS) but I'm just saying, if he needs a bit of a boost in reputation when he's playing he's welcome to use my name.
totally agree. however in this case, i'm comparing quake, which is one of the most prolific e-sports games of all time, has many different casted + cash prize tournaments such as QuakeCon, Zotac and Dreamhack, and generally requires an absurdly high skill level to be good at (you can play for 5 years and still nobody will know your name), to league of legends, a game where if you have been a nerd and researched your champions, you will beat people on that same three lane map that was stolen from every other dota map ever. alternatively you could just have "flash" in your spell slot, making sure you'll rape your enemies in the fucking ass every single time you use it. so skilled
Also, name a community worse than LoL. bet you can't. If you're losing, every team member will blame it on another team member until the flame war starts, and then the chat will be spammed with various "cancer" insults until the metaplay of the game has turned you into a raging asshole who can't take the slightest responsibility for his own failure.
I don't like CS but there is more skill involved than in LoL, which just involves knowing your champions and experience - there is no need for creative thinking at the highest level since you'll have already experienced the majority of situations before and therefore it becomes ridiculously easy to make your decisions based off past habits (that's what happens when you only ever pick one map ever). Furthermore, LoL has no mechanical skill, such as aiming (don't spout this nonsense about ashe's ult being aim, it isn't). I have barely ever played LoL so I'm not the most qualified to insult it's gameplay but this is something I have observed from about five games. I'm sure as a more experienced player, you could pick more holes in the gameplay than I could. You just don't want to since you're used to games like AC so LoL seems skilled by comparison.
Before you call me a hypocrite, I don't play CS, I'm not claiming to be even half-decent at quake, and the only half-"competitive" game I'm playing atm is Sauer, which has a similar skill set and gameplay style to quake (the "duel" mode in quake + "ffa" mode in sauer are essentially the same) although the skill level lacks by comparison due to people overplaying insta (one shot one kill) modes and also a lack of top-tier players who have mastered the game (there are many in quake). Despite all this I still know that League of Legends isn't worth playing.
Btw we should still remember that this is an application, if you want to discuss why your game is worse than most other competitive games feel free to open a separate thread so I can bash you moar.
Acuerta was the mastermind behind creating such a wonderful crosshair, but I was the one who asked and chose the colors Between Acuerta, Vanquish and a little bit of myself we have made a damn fine crosshair :p
