Tht happens but on wekends I play alot of Ld.
Best Lockdown Players?
so this went from a shoutout thread to... what exactly?
Anyway, I have a lot of fun playing anyone in the guild Wolfpack Party (though skill may vary from above average to awesome).
Chiz.. forget the rest of his name heh. The only bomber i had to create a loadout for so i can survive the RSS shards before trying to gun him down... and even that doesn't work ever time!
well before pendents became so common mainly heart pendents i was a bulldozer i killed 8 people as striker and still took the base pad or what ever you call it but now its who ever has the most hp wins
Just out of curiosity, i know that there are people that make the top 10 and are actually legit, but the rest of them... are they just people who play excessive amounts of LD and get lucky? (and happen to win a lot, thus getting more ranking?)
I'm just going to go ahead and list myself as the best recon.
I knew it was only a matter of time until I caved in and gave myself some props.
and i am by far the best swordsman alive
well nobody can top my bombing skills
by the time you step out of spawn the floor is already lava
Didn't you say Bombing takes no Skill in a Certain Thread?
This LD thread gets longer...... and longer..... and longer... >_>
So many good LD players I don't know where to start.
I shoot toothpicks out of my eyes and poop out ctr max haze bombs. I also just throw guns into crowds and tell them to start shooting. Pullin that trigger is for noobs. Don't question it.
Lockdown players from the jempire and their money wins; they have lots of it.
Im gonna attempt to list out all the Pro players out there who for some reason have been scarcely (if at all) mentioned here. As such, you should watch out for these outstanding individuals:
Thrillhaus
Craftyzen
Mitezuss
Deoghee
Lamprophony
Roarjr
Soup-Ninja
Icegill
Dark-Fantasy
Nardcore
Vicpasta
Eckounited
Killbotxtreme
Dravor
Jcasdfqwer
Have u guys forgotten about Rdzknightz and Skybrandon? I have a full dusker set with trinkets and swift flourish/antigua but they still take me out in like 3sec. Many a times ive seen horrible teams win just becuz they had one of the two on them.
>no fishace
>no Ampersand&italic
>Tennis not listed as gunner
>not enough Sir-Pulse
>Roarr not established as miracle bomber (quadruple kills with shards, are you guys really that bad or is he that good?)
>no jontlemen
>listing feller as a good striker
>all the listed recons suck
bad thread people ITT obv never play T3 lockdown
i rarely comment on forums but for something like this it pisses me off. first of all jempire doesn't need to spam ce revives to win. so what if we use the 2, and 4 mist to revive? are u really that poor that u can't even spare 6 mist total? its guild ld, the aim is to win, not lose -_- the fact that jempire has this rep is unjust and just pure bs. we've played many other guilds that spam ce revives way more than we do, and every time we own them with our skill, its that simple. so enough of accusing us of spamming ce revives. unless u got full proof evidence, shut your whinny mouth and get some skill in ld rather than just complain all the time.
And if you catch me spamming CE revives that doesn't count. I spam CE revives even in random LD. And I'm a recon. And very offended.
Since I'm here, here's my nominations
Rubyeclipse
Waur
Bacon-Strip
Kyoshiro-Xz
Mitezeuss (< however you spell that)
Zave (recon)
Magnus
Snrub
pretty sure there's more that I can't remember off the top o' my head
2, 4 mist to revive? Please stop lying through your teeth. The last time my guild faced the jempire, rubyeclipse alone CE revived at least 7-8 times EVERY SINGLE GAME. I remember a moment where I headed to capture an enemy point, saw rubyeclipse and one of his teammates, and killed both of them 1v2. Then 3 seconds later, ruby arrived again and i killed him again 1v1 only so that he could CE revive once more to finally kill me. Then my teammates arrived and killed ruby, but you'll never guess what he did next. Yup, another CE rev. If you can't see how this merits the jempire's CE rev spamming reputation, then there is a significant defect in your cognitive function.
Now, let's see how much energy it costs to revive 8 times in a row: 2, 4, 8, 16, 32, 64, 128, 256. Yup that looks equivalent to 4 mist energy to me.
"every time we own them with our skill" - I literally laughed out loud at this conjecture. The only player that I have seen in the jempire that I can honestly say is very VERY good in LD is Bacon-Strip. No one else in your guild is even worth mentioning from what I've seen.
yes rage more about ruby kicking your butts in ld, rage more about jempire beating your guild in gvg RAGE RAGE RAGE MUHAHAHAHA
Accusing? The Jempire being CE rev spammers is not an accusation, it is a well known FACT. You see, when you can go ask any T3 lockdown guild about the Jempire's LD strategy and every single one of them replies, "they CE rev a lot," it's most likely true. It is a general consensus that all T3 LD guilds have come to. And when did I ever say only rubyeclipse CE revs in the jempire? I merely mentioned him because he does it the most. Crying? I'm presenting a well supported argument. You speak like a child and in all probability are one, considering your level of intellect doesn't surpass that of a 5 year old's. The only "crying" I see here is your pathetic denial of your guild's excessive usage of CE revives. No matter how much you say otherwise, it's not going to change anything. The Jempire will always be known for CE rev spamming. Sorry but it's true, so you need to suck it up and deal with it.
Edit: Started this reply before your edit, but I can definitely see you as a 10 year old kid. Your mental capacity is most likely too deficient to enable you to partake in any logical conversation, so I won't even bother continuing this.
I find it almost hilarious how several Lockdown players from the Jempire have had low UVs (or even none) on their LD gear before joining the guild. After they joined the Jempire.......shazzam! Godly UVs magically appeared on all their stuff! Hey Ruby, can I get a FREE ASI VH Weapon or Max Pierce Skolver too?
Im not sure how much exactly Ruby "convinces" his guildlings to deny all the accusations but the fact that the Jempire spams CE revives in Lockdown is well observed by almost everyone who plays Lockdown. That alone should be enough proof that they win with the help of $$$. Granted, the Jempire DOES have almost as much skill as any other good PvP guild out there, but sadly they couple that skill with money. Therefore, a good pvp guild with raw talent alone will find it difficult to beat the Jempire who are almost as skilled BUT with the unsporting help of UV'd gear and excessive CE revs.
How anyone could deny or is unknowing of something so obvious is well beyond me.
i don't deny that we ce revive. i never said we didn't. but the fact that ppl say we are solely dependent on it, is what pisses me off the most. you can ce revive up to 1k for all i care, but at the end of the day ce reviving doesn't win you matches, skill does. and yes before i joined jempire i had low uv's on my armor and weapons. i got better gear because guild ld is more uv based than random. having an asi med flourish against an entire guild with asi vh and pierce max made it difficult to play matches and thats y "all of a sudden" our members got better gear. it has nothing to do with ruby paying us or as some ppl might think ruby giving us the uv gears. its the fact that we want to do better in guild ld and in random and to support the team and not drag it down. ruby doesn't try and tell us to hide the fact that we ce revive in matches, he really doesn't care. but to set things straight we don't depend on ce revives to win our matches, despite what most ppl think.
The reason people are against ce rez so much is that it's a rolling cost. There is no flat pay and then you're set, like with UVs or gear. I mean, I saw Ruby say he spent a million ce on rez's in LD at one point. Whether he was being hyperbolic or not I sincerely could not tell, and that should say something about his reputation over rez'ing.
Using the rez button brings a distinct advantage in that enemies that should have been knocked down for 20 seconds can get right back into the fray, while those that don't are down a teammate for while. Trying to say that using it somehow doesn't tip the balance is foolish. It might not be the only reason you win, but it is a major factor if everything else is equal. Trying to say that people are too cheap to use it is likewise foolish, for these people understand what a rolling cost is. Paying a one-off thing is a waste of money for the common man when UVs are forever.
Mind you, I only play random LD, so maybe I'm wholly off-base. I dunno, it's just how I see it as an outside observer.
first of all ruby was joking lol. its an inside joke actually you had to be there when the 1mill revive thing started XD. i understand what your saying and getting rid of the 20 sec spawn wait does give you an advantage, but thats not the point. people are accusing jempire of ce reviving when they themselves do it (and by that i mean members on their team) which is very hypocritical. also we are always accused of ce reviving like 10x a match which is so not true, the spawn timer is always diff its not always set to 20 sec, i sometimes get like 5-10 sec wait times which i normally just wait out. jempire isn't a super rich guild, its mostly just ruby thats rich XD. but anyways if we are in a close match and it gets very intense, then yeah we'll tip the favor and ce revive. is that wrong? no. the other team can ce revive as well, and most of us use our mist to revive when we have to, so we don't waste money. i always make sure i have around 50 mist or 50 ce for ld. and yes doing random ld and guild ld is diff since you're playing the top people in matches most of the time.
everyone plays striker
spam polaris on pathways
constantly cap
win gvg
i love how 90% of LD threads become "Jempire CE Rezzes" threads.
btw for the 1 million ce rev backstory it's 'cause someone was complaining about how Ruby spent 50k CE on revs while it was a documented 2+4+8+16 Rev match. The running joke is that whenever someone bawls about revs, we claim that "We spent 50k CE revving this match! We [always] do!"
...btw Waur, didn't Ruby say something about high paths and daily rage? ^^
Well.. no one says my nick.. Let me put myself in the list as best recon...
jkajkajkajka that's sad.
That's more sad than CE res and auto-target togheter.
Remember, I'm killing noobs with auto-target BEFORE the "heart trinkets give away".
THE BEST PLAYER SO FAR IS ARTIFICIAL AIMING. GvG it's a joke.
Handless people defending auto-noob-target in

GO !!!!!
The reason I brought it up was that I totally woulda bought him being serious about it, and I'll freely admit I only caught part of the conversation before being sent back to LD. The thing to take away is that I wouldn't be surprised to hear that he spent a million over the course of his playing, and I doubt I'm alone. That should say how prolific him rezing is and how much his reputation for it precedes him. Either way, this wasn't the point I was trying to make with my post.
Yes, it's not always 20 sec, but it's still eliminating the revive delay which is the major issue most people seem to have. Whether its fair or not we've already covered. In short, it's pretty subjective and I'm inclined to side with the guys who don't use it (I HATE rolling costs; that 50 ce you use adds up over time, and a I said you'd only be able to play a couple of games if you used only mist). It's not really wrong or right.
If others are rezing and complaining, I'll peg them as hypocrites too, however.
A few things I want to straighten out about the stances I've taken:
I have really have no comment on how much the entire Jempire team rez's, only how rez's effect matches and why they'd be frowned upon.
I in no way think that rez'ing means you have no skill or other related dribble. The two are unrelated, and rez'ing merely shifts the balance. Hell, I rez in random if the timer trolls the crap out of me and puts me at >22 seconds. Screw you game, I'm not staring at the screen for a half minute.
Wasn't this thread originally intended to praise people instead of insult, complain, and boast?
Ignore Fellar and stop worrying about if people use AA, UVs, CE rez, Toothpicks, Bombs, Polaris, or whatever else.
Focus more on those you admire and those who make Lockdown fun for you.
Denmity is a scary Guard in T2 and I have a hard time surviving against Spiral-Hipster. Vanbamf and Bulby are also two people I'm terrified of fighting and I'm still trying to decide whether it's Golza or Ylol who is the god of T1. Ponamis has been standing out a lot lately, every time I've seen him, he's had a ton of captures and some nice damage.
"Hell, I rez in random if the timer trolls the crap out of me and puts me at >22 seconds. Screw you game, I'm not staring at the screen for a half minute."
This. This is the Only Reason I ME/CE Rev.
Im not so Bad of a Recon :D Highest Damage I've done as a Recon

Sorry theres alot more but these are the ones in my head ^_^
i'd post the thing of me getting 20k damage but i don't have a posting account thing yet :p
You shouldn't treat those who spend money to acquire high UV-gear like they signed a contract with the devil. If they have the resources they are free to do what they want with it, be it buffing themselves or otherwise. So when you rate someone with those Max and Very High UVs, rate them on how well they can utilize these UVs, not by how much they paid for it.
Not the guy who laughed over my corpse after killing me tonight. Not cool. I don't type fast enough and got killed by his team when I returned the favor.
bigfootm is the best lockdown player and i endorse him for president of the united states
Apparently Zaves is a really good LD player.
/lol

I've been playing a lot of LD lately, mostly T2s.
I think the best players in the game are those who doesn't use the Snarble Barb, Flourish, Hammer or Pulsar lines or any shock weapons and can still defeat those who do. Just my opinion, but these kinds of people are really rare and hard to find in a match.
BTW, I adore Corindon as a guardian. He's the best one I found so far in T2! <3
Honourable mention to guardian Haleybaby, he can put up a good fight... before being mowed down by three strikers with pointy sticks to my absolute horror =~='
These two guys kept my faith to not resort to the weapons mentioned above (well... maybe just the shock bomb, it's the poison I choose) even after losing like 10 times in a row. I'm a baaaaaaad player ;p
There are others good guardians and recons that I've encountered, but I can't remember them atm. And there's a WHOLE LOT of good strikers, but they have been mentioned several times, and their accomplishments are nothing to be amazed of nowadays.

Sorry man, but you're a terrible recon.
Any recon that scores that much damage and not a single defend is terrible in my book. Also, losing by 140 points? Christ dude...you're going to have to play a bit smarter. If you aren't averaging at least 3 defends per game, you're playing recon wrong.
EDIT: you can make the argument that you had a leaver, but a team that doesn't hold points is a bad team to begin with.
I consider myself to be an Ace Player in lockdown, I remember winning atleast 7 to 6 games in a row. Would`ve bin more if I continued longer.
So happy I think xzuberant was not in form today as I defeated him with a red bar latency
