I agree with what you say to an extent, there are pros that do admit imbalances in games, the major difference that separates from the good players from the bad is that the pros can accept that there is an imbalance but they will still go on with their game, adapting their playstyle to counter that imbalance to the best of their ability. I also find that people have this sense of ego, if that's the right word, where they find themselves above of using a certain tactic or weapon because they feel it is for "noobs" or exploiters or whatever negative connotations towards other people.klasbo said:Well, you don't get far in tournaments without it... I know I'm in a tiny minority here, though.
You know what, I'd suggest you try online gaming again. Find a team-based game (not CoD, for obvious reasons), and gather around with a few friends, all on the same team. Working together with people you already know will make it easier to learn how to work together with people you don't know, and eventually you'll have a skillset that lets you successfully lead random teammates. Being that leader type [http://www.escapistmagazine.com/articles/view/issues/issue_286/8463-The-12-Year-Old-English-Kid-Who-Carried-Us-to-Victory] is immensely satisfying.
The most overpowered strategy is knowing how to work together. No amount of quick-scopers can stop you then.
Before I go on, I was against quickscoping, mainly because there were a lot of crappy players that tried to emulate people that were good at it and doing poorly because they absolutely failed at it and made themselves to be big hindrances to the team, especially for more objective-based gamemodes.
Anyways, people who say quickscoping is an exploit clearly have no idea on what they're talking about. It's using the ADS feature that allows you to gain accuracy while you are zoomed in. The way it was programmed was that the second you are zoomed in, you have better accuracy for your weapon. It technically has been in existence since the first CoD, where you would AIM DOWN SIGHTS in order to gain an accuracy with the bolt action rifles. It has existed in other games WAY BEFORE CoD, it's just CoD made it a bit easier to perform.
And to the OP, there will be people that always complain on what you do to make themselves feel better that you killed them.
