Do you have respect for Assassins you play with?

That's what I did. I started off as a face-grappling assassin running around cloaked trying to sneak up on people. I never touched another class until after I was level 99...and even then barely played anything else. I probably spent 3-4 months playing purely assassin and nothing else, and spent way too much time playing it.

Practice makes perfect.

Theres really only one Assassin I truly respect. KORCHANTH , I watched him beat out some of the best assassins out there. However after seeing just how hard assassin can be to play i respect the ones who play ASSASSIN and not "im gonna charge head on againt this tank and face stab him =D" ones , and this is coming from me , the onewho used to RAGE at a good assassin.

I respect assassins for sure. Ive played a couple good ones. Snarf comes to mind . He always makes me rage a little when he goes assassin lol.

PU5H never plays assassin in pub's only assault. I don't think he practices at all but he still is perfect

Three words.

How much has he played assassin in the past, though? I've found myself playing sin much less in pubs...it's not that fun to play objectively unless there is an objective assassin on the other team or the other team is stacked and I have to carry mine. But I used to only play her.

Also, why won't he ever play assassin in the scrim privs? I don't care if I get whooped (we all do anyway)...I'd like to play against him.

Fix'd
Agree with Fox, the better ones I respect.
The other ones though... :lol:

He says he will only play when its a tournament.

Well, that said, tournament or not, IMO Snarf wins.
No proof without PIX! Never seen PU5H as an assassin. I refuse to believe it.

You realize they have never lost before?

God, I hate lunging in on a Sniper or Assault and hit grapple, only to grapple a nearby Blackjack, or worse, a Slim, though I'm glad to say I've never grappled a Slim before (provided it's possible).

Sometimes, I will grapple Jackbots if they're knocking on our front door (and our turrets/moneyball), and Bouncers if I'm too impatient to try to slash it.

I was on Spunky the other day and soembody on the other team was just spamming bouncers. Just wait till like 5 of them charge at you at once. Smoke bomb. Jump on their heads and slash; instant juice.

If people knew how to use their bots strategically, you'd get more out of them.

Bouncers are damage absorbers. You come in behind a bouncer so that the bouncer takes some of the focus fire (it has to or else it will get a grapple).

Gremlins drive the enemy back out of a bot lane. If there's pros, especially squishies, in your bot lane, spawn some gremlins on that side because they will push them back so that you can push the bots up.

Gapshots are for turrets (duh)

Buzzers are for clearing out pros on top platforms (helps you regain map control)

Scramblers...suck.

Except for classes like assaults that depend on their skills. I've had a few moments where a couple sneaky scramblers closed in on me while I was fighting others. Needless to say, I didn't make it out of there alive.

Sure sucks to be Support with a Scrambler nearby.

Back in the Day PU5H used to play assassin (dirty) all the time taught me a few things.
As a note to any new dirtys reading i find that if i go for bots first and push lanes i build momentum (and juice!) and the sneaking around and harrassing pro's falls into place.

OT:

The one I play with? Immensely.

The ones that end up playing with me? Very little.

This.

Amazing that some people actually get this. I often go negative k/d on pubs against teams, but I try to keep the freaking lanes clear, even if it makes me go 5/20.
