New CTF Tier List!!!!

[gladius]

Yeah so two mostly lackluster ctfs were hosted today, and afterwards rufus looked at some old threads where we found some ctf tiers and stuff (lol @ 19 pages).

Then he asked for an updated tier list, so here we go.

Thor*

High Tier:
Rufus*
Mystic-
Glad
Clel'
Mighty^
Luda
Yump-
Rob'
Tats'

Zero
Chelsie'
Xaphan
Ranger'
Skyzer
Drew
Aerox
Blitz

Low Tiers:
Jade
Pyro

Tier Key:
* = lags
- = tendancy to leave matches when losing
^ = hax?
' = doesn't play much anymore


Yeah there you go. Twas all the people I could think of. I'm sure I'm missing more so do inform me.

If people aren't happy with their placement or the keys I placed on them...then do something about it. Step up yo game dawg.

Thor qualified for the top tier b/c hes a 90% lock for the first pick, and usually wins, especially in ctf sumo. His lag/delay/reach/? dominates most matches and he scores off the chain.

High tier is for players who are usually within top 3 picks and usually end up on the winning team. Some of them have issues, whether they leave or they have some lag. But they are still pretty good.

Middle tier is where most of the players are, and several people could move to the high tier if they play more/play better consistantly.

The low tier is for players that you usually save until the last pick or so. Most of them are lacking in basic ctf knowledge and just play b/c they see the shiny red pm bubble.

Let the debating begin.

[Thor]

Not sure why you would place Rob in the middle tier with some of those names.
He doesn't play as much but if he was there you would pick him.
I'd also say Mighty is now a top tier player.
He makes games harder to player against and much easier to win with for me.
Deophite still plays occasionally, there's a player who causes problems no matter who you are.
Majority of other players don't really make that much difference individually,
it's more of a matter of them being a better than the player the other captain picks after.
Clel is difficult to tell because i don't think he's actually been trying in CTF games the last few months.

Surprised you didn't make a Headless Chicken tier.
A year ago most games were tighter, most players knew their role and stuck to it, less mistakes were made, it would be either individual brilliance, or lag that decided the outcome.
Instead of experience getting the better of inexperience.
Obviously this was helped by there being a handful or so of top tiered players.
Just now i get the impression that there is an abundance of players inwhich if they're not grabbing the flag, they're not doing anything at all.
These people annoy me more so than players we know suck overall but try.

[Gemini]

Hmmm happy with my position

[gladius]

Well I haven't seen deo play a game in a few months so it's tough to have him on the list, though no doubt hes good.

Clel is hard to take seriously but he was one of the best back in the day.

Rob has had some good games when he's played, keyword when. It's not like he's an idiot out there.

TBH our old tier threads (still lol @ 19 pages) had people discuss what they were best at (defense, hunting, offense). Now it's just being good or bad.

[MysticX2X]

Well i usually just leave games when my team does something dumb that makes me so stunned and annoyed. Such as not coming to help me for a whole minute while the other team had their flag carrier in there with all of their members in the same level trying to kill me.

[gladius]

Yeah cause you're the only person to ever be stranded in a base.

Plus it doesn't help when you yell at your team half the match.

[Gemini]

less talking more playing

[kill]

I don't think that's very accurate in a more perspective view.
Sure they may not play as much, but some of those you put so low are much better than you think, Glad.

Top Tier:
Deo
Mighty
Luda
Rob
Clel
Thor

High Tier:
Ogg
Trip
Zero
Rufus
Mystic
Kill
Glad
Crono
Dante
Xaphan
Kevin

Middle Tier:
Shimmy
Nighty
Laura
Jade <--- most improved CTF player of this era.
Death
Lakuta
Oni
Gemini
Zedo
Chelsie
Ranger
Tatsumi

Low Tiers:
Pyro
UN noobs
TheDae
Ph@ntom
Silverice

[gladius]

Wow I can't believe I forgot luda.

Anyways, deo doesn't play anymore. Neither does night. Nor Ogg nor Trip. Crono i used to see a bit but not recently.

Jade is easily the most improved player, but it's not hard to improve on garbage. She used to be auto lost and last pick, now shes still last pick or so but can contribute in a winning effort.

Kevin can't been seen as high tier as he A) has used his staff powers to benefit him (trident + other stuff) and B) he hasn't always put forth a serious effort (probably sabatoged a team or two).

Zero doesn't play as much either. Dante is close to high tier, so not really going to argue with that. Xaphan doesn't play much either.

Rob top tier is questionable. The man doesn't play much, though he is good. Deo was top 2 pick guaranteed back in the day, but doesnt play much (how many times have I said that this post alone). Mighty I have no problem with. Clel doesn't take much seriously so who knows. Besides, his favorite gametype is gravity. Ew.

Other than all of that, looks pretty good.

Except for that dude named Kill. Not sure why he's high tier but w/e. Maybe he can prove otherwise.

[gladius]

BTW added Luda and Yump to my list.

+ added Deo to top tier

+ moved Rob from middle to high tier

[kill]

Even if they don't play much anymore, they still play, and just because you aren't online when they are, doesn't mean their quality is degraded.
Also, i am quite clearly better than middle tier since i am the best @ future.

[gladius]

Hammer is top tier.

Wtf do you mean "they still play".

I haven't seen Deo, Ogg, Trip, Tats, Crono, Zero play in more than 1 game in the last month.

I haven't seen Rob or Xaphan in more than 2 in the last month. Maybe rob was in 3 but beyond that is pushing it.

If these people are playing in ctfs, it must be at midnight or something.

[kill]

Hello?
you come on at 10pm 0:00GMT (my time) for 1 hour a day... What do you see?
pr0n

but no seriously, Glad ofcourse these people play, you're just not on at the right times to see them comrade.

[gladius]

I need proof.

[Oni]

**** off middle tier is gay
