Usually there is not many ppl in T1 LD, i can wait for hour to play but mostly i fail on both US and EU server.

After recent steam achievment, many ppl made accs just for LD T1 to get achievment.

In response some T2, T3 players equiped newbharvest gear and jumped into T1 LD. The later it was the more of them joined.

Sure, pwning afk newbs is not fun BUT when a newb harvester meets newb harvester its fun. I made yesterday many good games when actually instead of steam newbs there were several newb harvesters in both team.

Those matches were WAY better than any other T3 matches. In those T1 LD (where teams were full of good players, not steam newbs, with T1 eq) what really mattered was REAL SKILL, not that who has better uv, faster pierce blade or less lags. In those matches it took several hits to kill someone so you actually could respond and use evade, attack skills where in T3 its what? Its just show of which blade is faster, killing and being killed in one/two hit is limiting use of real LD fight skills to minimum.

To sum up. Those T1 LD matches were best of all (when you fought with multiple real players, not steam newbs) where skill really mattered, in skirmishes it took multiple hits, evades to kill someone not which forced you to use tactic, watch for hp not just berserk run on enemy with "oh i have best asi uv ill just 2-stab him to death".

Cheers for all T1 Newbharvesters witch who and against i fought great skirmishes and really close call matches.
