I don't think toothpicking requires no skill. I just think that most players choose the obviously overpowered and obviously hands-down best Lockdown set, and then tout it off as skill, even if they have very little of it. THOSE are the clones, and don't tell me you don't see them around.
Just came by to say that if you're surviving, contributing to the team through damage/kills, captures & defends, then you're playing LD with this elusive "skill that everyone claims to have but no one else can match."
It strikes me as odd that Fluffyfoxxie issues a challenge to try bombing out, but then calls these same people "clones," which is a term that implies that a skolver/toothpick striker player has no skills and is only successful because of the gear they use.
I also noticed that Juances, Mastersleety and others then proceed to dis polaris spam, another implication that pointing and clicking is a skill-less vocation.
Really, how do you expect people to recognize the skill required to bomb well when you are implying their current strategies are skill-less?
I've seen some very awful toothpicking and polaris spammers who die quickly, and some who do well. I've seen bombers who can deal with that stuff, and others that can't. I don't get this perpetuating cycle of "I have skill and whatever you do requires none."
Maybe if you're being called a skill-less bomber, you can take that as a compliment; it means you are being noticed for your skill. The rage and hate is because they didn't notice your bomb or something.

Also, just a question. How many of you RSS 1v1? I hardly find it a threat. I find RSS more threatening when I'm distracted by another opponent. If my full attention is on the bomber, it's just a long drawn out bomb vs gun battle.
