I'm not sure I should be here.
Lockdown isn't really my forte, but I'm just going to say that there's no such thing as a 'best' Lockdown player. It's near impossible to decide who is best factually based on the game records, and even if you did do it that way, there are different factors such as damage, captures, defends, matches won, etc. Hell, I could say that I was best based on my not verbally abusing people every time I died or lost a match!
It's all down to opinions. Not facts.

If the other team spends the
If the other team spends the majority of the game dead because you killed all of them, then yes, a high damage total wins the game.
On the other hand, getting a high damage total is directly tied to how much of the game you spend fighting other players. This is why high damage totals almost always come on a striker, and almost always come with few if any captures - they spend the entire game dashing around trying to find people to kill. In games where they succeed at doing this, they get huge damage totals.
Lockdown has a rather large power gap. A skilled player can generally kill a newbie without taking any damage at all, and even if they end up needing to heal, strikers have the advantage of being able to rush home and heal quickly. And if the unthinkable happens and they actually die, dash lets them get back into the action relatively quickly.
High damage usually requires a certain amount of cooperation from the other team. In order to meet the primary requirement of spending the entire game fighting the opposition, your opponents have to let you spend all game fighting them, either by trying to attack you over and over (definition of insanity?) or by being easy targets for you to kill right as they leave their base.
Anyone who says high damage is irrelevant if you don't capture anything is wrong. Damage is, counter-intuitively, defensive play - it means the other team spends less time capturing. On the other hand, damage is very flashy, and ridiculously high damage totals aren't quite as amazing as those who get them make them out to be - at that level, it's more up to chance (will the other team allow me to kill them enough to get such a high damage total?) rather than any merit of the player themself; any top-tier striker should be capable of achieving the same feat in the right circumstances.
There is, however, more going on in Lockdown than "who damages and who captures." There are plenty of ways to monopolize the other team's time without actually killing them, and there are plenty of ways to play Lockdown off of the capture points while still actually fighting. Winning Lockdown isn't really about what you do so much as how well you do it. It's just that high damage totals are the only realistic numerical comparison for how well somebody did at their particular playstyle.

It's okay to get high damage with no captures. It would just be a lot more pleasant for people to focus on defends instead of bashing everywhere. People don't realize the difference between damage and defends. Don't say that hey're the same thing because if they were completely related to each other then they wouldn't have separated results. Damage is irrelevant, but defends are what you need to focus on if you focus on killing people a lot. You're talking about defends, and damage doesn't always mean you defend or kill.
Defend - Defense of a captured control point.
Damage - Harming others.
You don't even have to kill to get damage unlike you do for defends. People could go around hitting people once, running away after that, and act like control points aren't in sight.
Ok let me be more straight forward.
1. The picture IS FAKE. I said the others could care less meaning they dont give a rats arse about LD. 2 of them said they remember that game and he did not get above 40k. Chris edited plenty of pictures so they look real but they were fake. I have beaten nal a lot of times, literally nothing overpowering.
2. Yes, there are people better than him pve-wise. Thats great, he can waste his time setting rules for a UFSC, do it in 20 minutes then we'll talk. Vokster is just one example at someone better than him.
3. Yeah, i couldve said it better but i hate people who assume a player is the best because they are astonished by said player. In my opinion, there is no best player. There are multiple good players and a handful of overpowering players.
I respect your opinion and im sorry if i came out harshly, that was my mistake.
