Priestahh RANTS About Pros Playing For Stats & Not Playing to Win! (Inspirational Speech)

[@oceeta]

What Priestahh is saying is so true. The majority of the COD community, and even the FPS community at large is attracted to a high K/D ratio. That goes for the vast majority, if not the entirety of the community. This isn't a bad thing, though. It's only natural that outliers stand out to us. If the average pro K/D is a 1.00, then surely, we want to check out the guy that's getting a 2.00, 3.00, 5.00, etc. That's how you get the attention that you need to stand out in this industry. The thing is, though, that a player's game-winning abilities and a high K/D ratio are not a 1:1 correlation. This is not to say that players with a high K/D cannot be making game-winning plays; it just means that there are ways to get a higher K/D that don't necessarily correlate to winning the game. These include using things that are not competitive like certain perks or streaks. At the professional level, these things get restricted, so there are more instances of people with higher stats actually performing better. However, we also have to remember that COD is a team game. This means that these high-performing players with high stats aren't just performing in a vacuum. Just like Priestahh said, everyone needs to set each other up for success. Oftentimes, what happens is that the other people on the team are setting up people to make superstar plays. These setups can often go unnoticed because they are not reflected on the scoreboard. One such thing that people don't really factor in is the ability to gather information from various in-game cues and effectively relay the needed information to your teammates. That is a skill that is not so obvious to people that just look at stats, and it is a skill that is hard to develop. In addition to this, you and your teammates have to learn to be better at understanding what everyone on the team needs to function better. You need to be flexible enough to understand when and how to properly fill in gaps for your team, and your teammates need to know how to do that as well. All of this then needs to come in addition to having great aim and movement. Unfortunately, though, the more casual audience still might not grasp the impact of certain plays, and it is up to more knowledgeable players to explain these things to them. What ends up happening, though, is that those experts are either unwilling or unable to share their knowledge. This is why I really value people like JP Krez, MerK, Shift, Studyy, and a few others for taking the time to explain how and why plays are made. Being able to communicate your expertise is a huge thing that people don't often consider when it comes to educating people on these things. Subsequently, you get people that have consistently high K/D ratios across all the games they play, but they almost always seem to lose those games. In this instance, it becomes very easy to scapegoat other players that don't have those high stats and blame them for the team's losses.

Mack was the best example of making pred and sib look good

[@wrizu]

mack is the most underrated dirty work smg in the league

[@whosDaBun]

it’s sad but most people won’t appreciate or understand what he’s saying. people really have one track minds nowadays.

[@Vj28120]

Even HyDra said he's very underrated and can do it all... And didn't seem like he wanted to drop Pdawg at all

[@UnhingedCanadian]

So snoopy forced out slasher cause priestah didn’t want slasher out. Boston doesn’t have a clue snoopy has no brain for cod and slasher pointed that out and ever since they dropped slasher they were the worst team to exist in the cod league ever.

[@rissky.]

They were the worst team in the league with SlasheR on it as well.

[@jjaaren]

@@rissky. no they weren't, without SlasheR they won one series lol. He had a 1.5 in Hardpoint Major 1 and won a lot more than one series lmfao.

[@rissky.]

@jjaaren None of that matters. They were the worst team in the league. 12th in standings and had the least CDL points in the league. Not to mention they placed dead last at both majors they played with him as well. Lol.

[@rissky.]

PDawg lowkey needs to run a sub. He's way more impactful that way.
