You are right. Butttt, I did try to take teamwork into consideration when I did the TEAM rankings. And also the pocket/medic rankings. Not so much the "top 5", which is pretty much why it is completely useless aside from getting people talking about something.

I would've ranked your team higher because of defined, unified calling (a statement I put in the team ranking) but from what I saw Bird Noises had very good focus in fights and Six Guys Off had a similar level of calling with marginally better players overall.

teamwork doesn't just come from teams playing together for a long time, it comes from some players who are more predisposed to working off their teammates, or frankly are just smarter or more dedicated to begin with

therefore it has to be factored into individual rankings for them to be accurate

cookiejake is by far the best medic i have ever played with. the fact that he's not even on your top 5 in IM is beyond me...

I have literally put every factor you have come up with into my rankings for both the team and individual. Would it soothe you if I went player to player and explained in explicit painful detail. Frankly the fact that you think I haphazardly threw these together is more insulting than anything.

you literally just said you didn't take teamwork into account for individual player rankings at all

and your rankings are so terrible (and your reasoning behind said rankings so contradictory and nonsensical) that it's impossible to think you DIDN'T haphazardly throw them together

Be honest Mustard, are you just being a baby because you didn't make the pocket list again. Because that is how it started each time, with you believing you deserved it somehow.

.

One final clarification, when I did the individual rankings for for Demoman, Pocket, and Roamer I didn't put a lot of stake of teamwork. The reason behind that particular decision was the fact that this is a pre-season ranking. It is entirely too hard to project how two random people over the internet will gel.

I tried to do so a little bit more with scouts and pocket/medic, but unless there was continuity that was just as hard. For scouts I tried to weigh how they played with past teams and the role they played along with DM and what I perceived to be their level of game-sense and decision making. But unless I had comms and extensive interviews with past teammates I can't be 100% accurate.

But justifying myself at this point is going nowhere. No amount of reason will convince you of anything, I can at least assure you my image of players as people had no bearing on their rating.

If pie hero would just play with some halfway decent teammates he'd be a lot better off.

Owl, Pie_hero may be the most skilled player on our team in the DM department and has the most experience out of all of us but we all play an important part on our team.

Xen, our roamer, is a force so unpredictable that even we don't know exactly what he's doing. He is an engima but not as good. He may not really tell us when he's bombing in but in silence he succeeds. His bombs are so sneaky that it is often hard to determine if their medic was fragged or they hit their kill bind.

KevinIsPwn may not have the strongest DM in the esea-average division but his drive to be the best rivals those of invite players sandbagging in open. His part in developing tf2stadium.com will also give our team somewhere to play when we die mid-season.

Freddy plays a disconnected style of demo that may not look the greatest on the stats page, but its not always about how much damage gets done. Sometimes its about where it comes from.

sometimes I look at my HP and its not at 185 so im not gonna write anything about u pascal sorry :/

My DM may be incredibly inconsistent and I may occasionally feed the other team a frag twelve times a game but I am among the best at baiting playing off others damage andcapping points winning games.

You may not understand this mr. owl, but even if our medic pascal is afk because she has to clean the cat hair out of her mousepad for the 3rd time this month our team has a buff greater than any other's, the buff of friendship.

If u spent 1 minute in a dm server for every word of that post you might have mid open dm myles
