I was laughing down at you when your l33t lvl 1 Hunter got downed in that Perilous game. Please keep telling us about your rank and stats... All I saw was a leacher who didnt have a clue what he was talking about
IMO, for some reason, top leader boards ppl like to play hunter. I've played two gold games in a lobby of a player /name removed by self censorship/, and he has prestige similar to Drasca or around that number. My hopes were very high and I expected to be gloriously curried to extraction. Alas, it did not happen and in the first game, we wiped in zone 3 and in the second game, me and another keeper were the last standing in zone 5 while our glorious host top scored in both games with lvl 10/12 hunter iirc by quite a narrow margin. Not being impressed, I left to find another lobby which went through much smoother. Also, there was a lot of trash talking there from the host about leader boards and our scrubby game play while all others were silent during the game. I even had to mute him at some point as it were getting annoying. I know, I am not a good player. There is no need to rub it in. Just show how to do it well like it has to be done.
So, IMO, as a player on his own self, he was very good but it did not help nobody. I then met him again struggling with Katari on silver. That was painful to watch despite the fact that he had Sulevin blade. No trash talking this time, I think he remembered me or maybe mic was not plugged, not sure.
I've stumbled also on two other people from top leader boards. Again, sparing the names due to self censorship. Both were in gold pugs and they were high level elementalists spamming firestorm every time all the time. I don't think they have used anything else, well, may be firewall once or twice. Very smooth and easy games apart from screen shakes.
