Why create this thread?
Simply stated, the ladder is generally not the best depiction of skill, imho. It GENERALLY tracks who plays the game the most and/or who acts like a jerk by cheating instead of who the most talented players are. That's not to say that everyone high up in the ladder falls into this category. So, if I were to put together my own ladder that indicated skill, I wonder how things would shake out. Obvious hurdles being that many highly skilled individuals don't play each other. So, this requires either the people that don't play together to play more together (my personal choice) or I have to rely from feedback from other players.
Your part if you want to participate
Who do you guys think are the best players in demigod today? I understand that its a team game, but individual players do tend to stand out (and I also know that one great player can't guarantee a win if he has weak teammates, etc). I'm happy to have everyone's feedback. I'm not looking for people to jump in and flame. Just call out who you think is great or who you'd like to see fight. Perhaps we'll get games going. You want to flame and talk crap, your post will probably end up deleted.
You can nominate anyone you want. To keep this from being a list of who likes who, several individuals that are generally considered excellent at the game will moderate the list. If those individuals generally agree, a player can be removed or promoted in the list.
I've decided on 4 categories of players and have provided descriptions of each. Please recommend players along with the category you feel they fit in.
Tier 1 Demigod Players:
Realistically, its my belief that there are 10-30 players in this game that are tier 1 DG players (the best). Those players shine as individuals, generally with a wide variety of characters and do not depend on a specific team or teammate to do well. They can play exceptionally in 1v1, 2v2, 3v3, 4v4, and 5v5. These are players that do not cheat or desync games. These are the people that you want on your team or you want to play against because you know you will get a good game. Any player in this list or any other should currently be an active player.
Tier 2 Demigod Players:
These are players that don't quite currently fit into highest level of players, but are good players all the same. Perhaps they require a specific team or can only do well in specific types of games (1v1, 2v2). The bottom line is that they aren't quite as polished or versatile as the highest level players.
Tier 3 Demigod Players:
A third group (or list) would be everyone else. No need to list individuals...
Demigod Players that Should Be Avoided:
These would be specific individuals that clearly (and I mean clearly) cheat. You don't get on this list unless I (pacov) am VERY convinced that you belong here.
hmm... wonders if my memory is fuzzy... anyway, that's 1 against busdude being tier 2.
I think someone is upset they can't win without abusing sigils, or by playing without a premade.
I hope you only play Oak, Bus D:
I don't think Busdude should be in tier II either, putting him in the ranks of Teseer, Kira, Morpheas, Dice, thundercles, abuggered is just not right.
yay i nominate synnworld as tier II
added nomilarac to tier 2. Just noticed he wasn't on the list. Removed busdude. Post a replay busdude to show you belong if it matters to you.
I would like to vote for renzo,morpheas,iamkira and abbugeredhedgie to be put into Tier 1. I think they are all very skilled and experienced players.
Meanwhile i played a game with rembo666 and kalelmix(not kalelsmx) just now, and we got a "invalid game" at the end. Both morpheas and i recalled this happening before with them. Not exactly sure, but i am most probably guessing they use the exploit so just beware of that.
Indeed, I've experienced this several times as well with these players, though mostly with rembo666. Invalid gamestate appears nearly always at the end of a match. I would be wary of playing with these people.
Yay! Finally my 37.000 minutes of playtime ( ) are worth something . Now i can happily retire myself from Demigod .
On a serious note, i also have my concerns about kalelmix and rembo666, suspicious players.
Where is my nick? I won vs a lot of those players
you are welcome.
I haven't seen kira in awhile. Any solid replays? The other are certainly up for discussion.
2nd
3rd.
Add in Mithrandar
hehe... the words 2nd and 3rd are not equal to a discussion.
I nominate _illuminati_. He's easily Tier 2, if not tier 1.
definetly tier 2
Happened to me as well. If i recall correctly it happened once when playing against him *they were losing* and once playing with him *we were losing*. I don't think his primary language is english though.
kallemix is the way he spells it FYI.
but then again if i posted about every game that got desynced then that would be a long list, 'eh orcun?
j
Added _illuminati_ to tier 2.
Re: the 2nd's and 3rd's... tier 1 is harder to get into unless I'm on exactly the same page as you and agree they are tier 1 players BASED ON THE DEFINITION I PROVIDED FOR TIER 1.
That said - I'm about done with this list. It sparked some interest and a common ground for alot of us old players and got many of us playing together. Mission accomplished there.
psh, typical. puts himself into tier 1 then gets bored of it 2 days later.
Obviously your real reason was just to tell the community how awesome you were by initially being humble about it and then doing a double fake-out crossover once you felt you were sufficiently modest. D:
Hey i have been nominated for tier 2 meany
I of course also think the GM guys should be in tier 1 but I'll let other people discuss that because I'm biased.
As for iamkira, he is very good with beast, but a lot of people are. Also is pretty good with pure fire tb but I don't think that's the most effective way of using tb. So I don't agree with tier 1 due to his limited character selection.
I do agree with abuggered for tier 1 though. He's always been a game changer with sedna and is a very good oak. Based on his understanding of the game I'm sure he would do well with any of the other characters. Thundercles has mentioned before that he only plays well because abuggered tells him exactly where to be in vent, so that says a lot.
^Then maybe we should change GM to Tier 1. I just don't think the tag will look very nice.
I also think the list should to be cut down by deleting players that don't play anymore.
