TA time with tea
Posted: 05 Sep 2016, 19:47
I'm drinking tea and doing TA's
These TA's are brought to you by my hand, foot and mouth disease. Too tired to do anything meaningful, also really bored.
The problem with my TAs is that first I did these on 3, 4 and so on scale. Then for some reason started doing decimals for some people. In the end I realized that now trev is a 3 and some other people who definitely shouldn't be ahead of him are 3.25 or something. So I redid some but didn't really think it through again so there might be some scandalous mistakes.
5 - Cruniac - Godly ratios every game. Can not comment on his decision making but he has shown enough to be trusted with any power unit sets.
5 - Arzenic - Used to always be 4 balls in my eyes but with the dwindling myth population there's no way to rate him anything else but 5 now. I've even noticed some AGGRESSIVE PLAYING in a couple of games??
5 - East Wind - The prototype of the new millenium myther. Will dance with an fg for 30 mins without taking a risk if the good of the team depends on it. Will even do it in random rabble games. Someone kill me.
4.5 - Gekko - Active enough that his 4 ball skills are starting to transcend him to 5 ball status
4.5 - Dantski - DANTSKI WILL NEVER BE A 5 BALLER IN MY EYES. NEVER
4.1 - Adrenaline - Adren's rating is the most debated in all of history. Is he a 5 baller, is he a 3 baller? Myth community needs to come to a conclusion and poll it at the same time the less important US elections are going on. Obviously by my great bullet points (see Shadows TA), Adren is a 4 baller. I also think he is better than say, Kilgrath. Now is he enough of a strategical mastermind or the robot like millenial super start EW? It's hard to say but I can't give him 5 balls.
4 - tirri - I think I'm probably 5 balls after a little practice but with my recent results I can't rate me 5 balls even if I feel the balls in my heart of hearts. With the new preset controls and me only showing up for tourney games in half a decade means that I don't have the controls in my spine anymore which also leads to bad map aweress and not following chat. Am I motivated enough to shed the rust? YES I AM
4 - Paris - Paris has been meta-ing myth for so long it's really hard to determine his actual skill level. Can he cap? Can he power hit? Can he even be trusted with small unit sets? Probably, but the meta gets in the way
4 - Kryptos - WHO ARE YOU KRYPTOS I DEMAND TO KNOW
4 - Lizard King - Easily 4 balls, probably never 5
4 - Ratking - See the nifty list I made for shadow. Ratking can be said to deliver in maybe even all 3 points but nothing so far has made me convinced he could do it at a 5 ball level.
4 - Slate - Used to be 3-3.5. Has maybe gotten a little better and with the dwindling population can be rated 4 now. He fits one 4 baller criteria which is I believe he can handle some powerhitting roles even in a classy match between 2 good teams, although rarely ends up in that role.
4 - Chron1 - Really hard to say nowadays but he used to do ok a couple of years ago while being pretty inactive. Thus he gets the benefit of the doubt.
3.85 - wwo - Not quite a 4 baller but at least I do remember facing him in games and never recall him crumbling. So higher than the 3.5 ballers but not really 4 balls in my eyes either (*refer to the 3 point list in Shadow's TA)
3.76 - ska - Ska has to be rated similarly to Rab but you know, without the decade of decadence so an extra 0.01 balls
3.75 - Akira - He used to be 4 right? Although i hardly remember him doing any power hitting against me. He has been inactive right??? Minus -0.25 balls
3.75 - rab - Honestly rab has played pretty freaking badly every time I have seen him play since what, 2007? Rab's skills were never about fast clicking so with motivation he could maybe become a good myth strategist again but has a decade of decandece left him unable? I sincerly hope not my dear old fatty.
3.7 - Shaitan - 4 baller in his youth, no one can say what's up now
3.6 - Asmo - Asmo just still isn't 4 baller material for me although after not keeping an eye on Myth for the past 2 years, I readily admit my knowledge might be outdated. Will probably trade for ok units if captain (following the GKG trade bible) but I'm still not really sure about his decisions in-game
3.6 - Shadow - Manages small unit sets well but I can only rate people 4 balls or higher if I can be sure of at least one of 3 things: 1) a good captain. 2) can carry on powerhitting roles in a match with good players. 3) doesn't need to be babysit and doesn't have too many brain farts. Like shadow, many players probably don't hit any of those 3 criteria and end up being 3 ballers. However an active player like shadow has to be rated higher than TB for example so it's 3.5 now
3.5 - Duke of Absorption (an alias) - Is this seeker? Seeker is another player who I think I've played a lot of games with but really don't remember any games with him doing anything. Is that good or bad? For some reason I'm still edging towards 4-3.5, not 3, let's call it my gut instinct
3.5 - ZAK - See seeker's TA. Except for some reason I remember several big screw ups from Zak. Still I kinda feel like 3.5 is more appropriate than 3
3.5 - Funk - I see him in a lot of games but he has never left an impression on me. See shadows TA
3.5 - Garrick - I wish Garrick would take me to ice-cream
3.5 - Jeff the Meek - Will he really show up? Would be up there with Chron but I don't remember any proven records of him being able to shed rust in later years (has he done it or no?) so unlike Chron, he won't get the benefit of the doubt.
3.5 - Trevelyan - Might even be 4 balls, hell if I know. Played a couple of games and saw no glaring mistakes. Will probably do a solid job with a small set of units but no idea about his heavy hitting skills.
3.25 - LordScaryOwl - Do not remember ever playing with him but i'm probably wrong. Responsible for the biggest mwc upset of all time must surely be worth 3 balls
3.25 - HMP - See shadow, Asmo etc but I just have a weirder feeling about him, thus only 3.25. SORRY
3.25 - garnish (wonka) - I kinda know who he is but not really. I don't dislike him at all which is super rare. Garnish don't let me down this tourney
3.1 - SomeLoser - The .1 is for old times sake. It's hard to tell about SL's level now
3 - Sharkdrivingabus - Perennial 3 baller who is cursed with the fact that even if he plays good, no one knows it's him since he changes names so often
3 - Cheezefist - So many games with cheeze and so little clue about how good he is. Or have i played many games with him after all? I don't know.
3 - Flatline - So much trash talking about flat's skills has got to me and unlike chron, who got the 4 balls from me, I can't give flat more than 3 right now. I haven't played a game with him in ages though.
3 - Scratch - Falls into the same slot as TB. Has he been more active? No idea.
3 - nitro - No idea about nitro's skills nowadays. Was he close to 4 balls once?? I'm not sure
3 - Father Xmas - My fever is rising again and I'm growing tired. Before father xmas used to be even less than 3 balls but I have no idea if things have changed lately.
3 - killerking - Honestly? No idea, literally do not remember a single encounter even though I do know I have played hundreds of games with him.
3 - switch - See TB and Scratch. All 3 are interchangeable for me.
3 - Revan - I just don't know.
2.75 - Coca-Cola - Who?
2.75 - bachner - Who?
2.75 - Tycho X - Who?
