mustardoverlordI don't mean to suggest that it's impossible for a relatively lower-level player to give accurate feedback, I just think it's dumb that the protection of an alt allows someone who otherwise wouldn't be taken seriously to have some level of importance
if people really had balls they'd rate people on their main account, but no one other than like plat has done that
Sure, but I think your opinion is a bit misguided. If you're like me (and, I think, like most people in this thread, I THINK), you're just looking for a way to get better, from any and all perspectives. That's what makes an alt account so interesting and valuable. I don't think most open players have reliable mentors, but they're definitely looking for them, most likely.
And the anonymity allows for mistakes; one errant mistake, and you'll be branded for a long time.
EDIT: missed an 'and'

Mustard: rate me. This is your test. If I get below a 9.9/10 your system is flawed.

ok thanx ukm, sorry i tried to do something that might be a little useful to someone. I'll continue for those interested. Sorry for the mistakes I made. kinda helped me to give myself a review and realize i shouldn't play open yet, so at least i got that out of it for me.
JDMYoshioka- It's sad to see you not play medic anymore, you were very good at it. Your scout and soldier are both solid, there've just been a couple slip ups due to basically inexperience. whatever you do next season will probably be miles better and i'm expecting you to be in playoffs in some form.
Sinner- you didn't always do too hot this season but I saw a lot of flashes of excellence. With some more practice and maybe a pocket mentor, you'll be awesome next season.
Fooby- You're a pretty good pocket but you took a long break during most of the season. When you got back, you were pretty rusty. With a more clear schedule you'll be very good next season. Be a little more aggressive, you played a little too close leash this season.
zephyr- you aren't fapping enough
ma3la- You made a very strong if not sudden entrance into invite, and you performed much better than I had expected. You're a very strong pocket. One thing i've seen you have a bit of an issue with is tracking roamers who jump your medic, you tend to take a while to find their landing, and by that time it is too late for your medic.
Key- Your soldier and demo are both very strong, and you will likely do well next season.
I've seen you play scout before, and your DM is very strong already. You had an issue with watching the flank when I last played with you, but playing roamer for a while probably fixed that.
Pie_hero- You have extremely good scatter aim, and your gamesense is usually good. You could probably play for a team trying to win open this season, and you'd do pretty well in IM the next season.
Radium- You made a solid medic, and it's transferring to you being a solid pocket. You do pretty well even when not at 300 health. Your biggest problem is that you chase frags too much sometimes, and you roam too far from the medic sometimes.
LightningSpike- On good days, you're easily a high open scout. You get meatshots, aim is impeccable, nobody passes through your flank. You have your bad days though, and they hit hard. I don't know what's different when you have off days, but figure out what it is and practice under those conditions until your good and bad days are the same.
showstopper- You did some work in s13. The biggest issue was your occasional overextension.
kace- you're a very solid roamer. you made some silly decisions this season that worked simply because of your DM, but if you're playing in IM next season, you'll meet your match and realize you need to play a bit more passively.
.k.L- You're a great demo. You put out some impressive damage this season. Your weakest part I'd say was your pipe aim, and it was still pretty good. A bit of MGE will help that.
capnfapn- you've been getting continuously better over the past couple seasons, shame that you can't play for a while. I don't know what to tell you except to find a way to practice reflexes/gamesense/whatever while you're gone.
wowzers- don't know you or how you play, but remember to stick with the medic and don't go for airshots.
spamfest- I'm not totally sure, because both matches you played for Zaboomacrew were 5-0s. You seemed solid as both scout and roamer, but if you play next season i'll have a better idea then.
rando- take the game more seriously. You went a couple weeks into invite and decided to give up and fuck around the rest of the season. You missed a lot of learning and experience as a result. I hope with someone as dedicated as indust on your team next season you can make a turnaround.
serv0- don't know of you, i wouldn't be typing anything but i want to give you props for putting out so much damage.

rb- didn't you learn what not to do by playing with arc
sakura- You're very solid, but you could use some surfing practice. Find an MGE server that allows medic and go against soldiers. If you can consistantly beat sub-open soldiers, you're doing it right.
leaky- Your sniper is ridiculous, and your scout is great as well. Practice more spontaneous movement, you're a bit predictable sometimes.
duwatna- I don't have any criticism for you really, i think you'll find yourself in invite for s15.
fuuzi0n- You're a solid roamer who's definitely improved over the course of s13. I prescribe DM, you need to practice against scouts.
rikachu- Work on your sticky aim. Sometimes sticky spamming is good practice.
spadez- You tend to DM it out a bit too much, the flank is more a danger to your team than the enemies.
devon- you have good DM but you do silly things sometimes. You need to have a better attitude and fix your ego.
OMZ- I played against you once or twice, you're a solid medic with good deathmatch. I don't think I saw anyone on your team the whole match who didn't have overheal (besides yourself)
there's through post 124, i'll do more later

With an unknown alt, you can't confirm the information you're about to post without giving yourself away, which is what you're trying to avoid.
If you're just asking around, then the information you deliver can be accurate. Even if you are a "shit player," you're someone with a different perspective, and you have no obligation to any of the people you are rating most of the time, so you can avoid some of the flattery that comes with being friends with people (unless you're a merciless critic).

SKILL_ENHANCERkinda helped me to give myself a review and realize i shouldn't play open yet, so at least i got that out of it for me.
You gave yourself bad advice. Open isn't that hard. Especially if you are ok with not being a playoff team. The season isn't going to start for another month. That is plenty of time to get "mid" open.

TurinGhos7 is too good but Ma3la, Rando, rb, Duwatna are all bad enough.

the only one in that list i gave gameplay criticism to was ma3la and he jumped from im to invite this season of course he's not playing perfectly.

I wouldn't be so hard on yourself. You should always strive to improve, doesn't matter where you're starting from. As defiance said, there's still plenty of time if you get started right now.
I don't know if you're looking to do mentoring, but as long as you let your mentee know that you're still learning, they're going to understand (at least, they will, if they're worth your time).

listen anjiro.. A season of open, as bad as it could be, will make you learn and improve much more than 3 months of pugging, DMing and even UGCing imo. You just have to find the right team.
In the mean time, practice your DM as if you were getting paid to do it.
