hello, i am Cotus of Aerie Peak - Horde, and i'm making this thread to recognize the players at the f2p 20 bracket who are actually good. let's be honest: most of the people in this bracket are absolutely terrible. virtually all of the pvp in the level 20 f2p bracket that i participate in consists of a contest of: 1. which side has more twink hunters, and to a lesser extent, 24s, and 2. which side has less worthless noobs with sub-1000 hp.
but there are some people in this bracket who are indeed good players, and it's their presence in battlegrounds that really make the games fun - not the endless legions of hunters and the endless legions of scrubs. i want to point out the players that i've especially enjoyed playing with in this bracket, to let them know that i've really enjoyed playing with them, and i'm going to organize the list by class for the sake of convenience:
DRUID: Shfthappens and Wcer. shfthappens is a fantastic player, a guy who takes an otherwise utterly gimped healing class at 20 and makes it a powerful weapon. he is always on the ball with his heals, roots, and utility, and always does his absolute best to help his team win. Wcer is one of the scariest players i have encountered in this bracket. his feral druid rips people apart without exception, and he is probably the strongest node defender in AB that i have met in this bracket.
HUNTER: i'll be honest - i don't have somebody that comes to mind for this class. (not to mention, this class is ****ing lame as hell in the 20 bracket). if i had to name someone, it'd be Thirk, because he is a really intelligent and pleasant guy to play with - i've just never really played with his hunter. if he was ever part of our BG premades, i'm sure i'd have more good things to say about him.
MAGE: Deadvulcano is a fantastic mage who knows his shit and is always at the right place at the right time. he knows his role and knows what he has to do to help his team win. i'm always happy to have him on my team.
PALADIN: you guys are going to hate me for this, but i have to say that i enjoy going up against Kale the most in BGs. sure, the guy afks out whenever he runs into a game in which his team doesn't have a massive advantage and he's not gonna get a free win. but i do appreciate the effort he puts into his twink - if he's going to be in a battleground, he's going to do his absolute best to be the most powerful and effective character possible. this is what a "twink" is, for better or for worse.
PRIEST: without a doubt, far and away, Decem and Sabelith are my two favorite priests in this bracket. they are extremely alert and effective healers, always going where they need to go and doing what they need to do for their team. in addition, they have great, positive attitudes, and never give up when they are up against seemingly insurmountable odds or a preponderance of (****ing lame) hunters. i always have a great time playing with them.
ROGUE: Medanx. Medan is the kind of guy that anyone would want to include on their team for anything. he has a good, friendly attitude, understands the game at a high level, and always gives 100%. whenever i see him on the opposing team, i know that i'm going to have to take the game seriously, because he's going to make sure to make it as absolutely hard as possible for my team to win.
SHAMAN: Shockur and Scripts. unfortunately, i haven't seen Shockur for a long time, and i think that he probably quit. but he was a great player who knew how to squeeze the most out of shaman at this level, and knew how to play to win. Scripts, who also hasn't played in a long time, was another excellent shaman who was always alert and knew where to be and when to be there.
WARLOCK: there are no good warlocks in this bracket, unfortunately. if i ever get around to making another 20 twink, it will be a warlock, so people can see that this class does have some strong untapped potential in 20 battlegrounds.
WARRIOR: Wyomings and Nonsense. i love playing against Wyomings. he is a very skilled player who manages to have a powerful presence despite playing a gimped-ass class at 20. he is relentlessly aggressive and always punishes any mistakes that you make. Nonsense is another great 20 warrior, a guy who knows when to be offensive, when to be defensive, and when to defend his healers.
if i did not list you above, it does not mean that i don't like you, and it does not mean that i don't think you are good. i just wanted to let the standout players in this bracket know that they are appreciated (if they even read this forum), and that i really enjoy playing with or against them.
if there is someone that you really like playing with or against in this bracket, i encourage you to post in this thread and let them know, or to just tell them yourself in-game. it's the good players with good attitudes that keep this bracket alive - not the s-keying hunter scrubs, not the alliance leather/mail wearing facerollers, not the 24s. without you guys, this bracket would die and wouldn't be any fun. thanks, and keep doing what you're doing.
