[@jman8821]

The issue with Vegas is that no one who was on the team prior to asim has stepped up in the comms in respawn to keep their systems going. When you plug and play the new guy CANNOT replace your main director in the respawns because hes NEW. he doesnt know the system like the people who hav been there since day one. Asim is there to follow directions and give you more kills but soemone else has to step up in giving DIRECTION to the team.

[@Jockuptown]

nah, you can absolutely plug and play with a new guy to lead comms and direction, the in-game leader is a role after all. Ideally you would bring the guy up to speed on the system as it stands currently (this really shouldnt take more than a week) and then the rest of the team needs to make sure they follow his approach. After a few scrims and matches you'd expect to see the in-game leader offering suggestions for new strats that incorporate their knowledge of cod and other teams/pros and that complement the teams play styles. That said, im not really sure if thats why they brought in Asim but its just more about the fact you can totally bring in a new player to lead if required, probably wouldnt be bringing in anyone mid-season who doesnt have at least some experience playing at the pro level for this role, but its totally doable.

[@jman8821]

@@Jockuptown you can absolutely bring in a guy that can bring in a new system but that’s the the entire point. It’s a NEW system brought in by a new guy. The only way to learn a new system as a new guy is to be taught that system by someone who knew the old systems. If no one steps up then the new guy has to have complete control over the new systems he’s bringing in to the team.
