  • Most underrated players you've played with?

    I was curious to know who you guys think are some of the most underrated Quakers..

    There are certain players who get more attention than others when it comes to their skill set, but there are a lot of guys who contribute a lot to a team who don't get noticed often.

    Personally speaking, I found through playing CTF, that r00k is one of the most underrated players I've played with.

    I recently got to watch some demos he sent me, and I watched some from his pov and I was very impressed. r00k will often do what the other people aren't paying attention to.

    A few examples:

    1. When he's stacked on 80-90 rockets, he'll start giving up rocket packs to teammates in the base to load them up.

    2. He always defends the base when no one else is doing their job, he immediately picks it up and will fill in until the defensive player gets back in position.

    3. He always takes off routes with the flag and gets a lot of sneak caps

    4. He always bothers the opposing players trying to grab quad. Through watching several demos, I realized that I could've nearly doubled my quad numbers if it wasn't for r00k. I was often fighting 1-2 guys for it, but he will sit in one spot and be a thorn in my side without me paying attention to him as I'm fighting other people; then he will consequently kill me.

    5. His timing is really good, if its not one of the top 2 players getting the RA or Q, he's on top of it. He times multiple items at once, I found this pretty impressive as well.

    It's players like r00k who have a impact on winning. Many times when you try to stick a few great players together, those players tend to try and do the same things and clash. We need glue guys to do the dirty work.

    Good point, enjoy the read, i can certainly agree that r00k is one of the un-most sought after player's except for his talent in coding. r00k has unique way's of playing, just like that runequake'R named GL0.. He's smart and tries to pull you into him when he plays CA. Matter fact i just played about 20 matches against him on maps dm2,dm3,dm6 & ztndm3.

    Alot of people are talented at the game. Some are more skilled then others in certain area's. I am an aggressive player and i chase people regardless of the out come. I do not like those that seek to hide or play catch me if you can, but i enjoy the chase. So because im aggressive toward's other's in game, it gives them a chance to recoup their thought's and find a way to murder me. Believe me, it works more often then i like to admit. I have no patience.

      i dun really play online much myself, so i cant really talk about any player in particular

      but i agree that the kinda players who really play together and actually look at their team-mates and give them ammo when they need it, and in teamgames really look at what the team needs most for a player to do rather then just running around charging in like everyone else and such are the most under-rated kind of players.

        I also vote for the Rookie as most underrated.He easily has the broadest set of skills in the game and if you ever watched him play Qball back in the day you certainly missed some eye popping shit.

                Was it you that I 1v1'd at NY.quakeitup.com the other day? Too much incognito/BUNS running around.

                I cant think of one player that is under rated If anyone, Mark. He can be a real PITA sometimes when he is pinging good and actually trying. Otherwise he's known for fighting at RocketLauncher through window / Lurking somewhere near Bridges / Giving the ORDER to DO IT NOW, FOK.
