I don't know who I alienated. Typically, if someone is new to the game they aren't going to be as good as someone who has been playing over a year; a simple fact in any circumstance.
I don't care if you've been playing for 2 days or 2 years, all skills and techniques are available to everyone, and it all depends on how they use them or even if you do.
Over time, in DB, new players will learn how to do things they couldn't a week or a month ago. DB is a learning process. You can't come into the game knowing every trick. It takes time.
Also, thats your opinion that the defenders of offenders haev an advantage when teams are equal, and is again, determined by skill and how people decide to play the game.
Statistically, over almost 2 years, I've found that in those situations stated in a previous post either the offense or defense has a certain advantage. I guess you could say it's an educated opinion, if not fact.
Bottom line is there is almost no way for an offensive player, 1v1, to get past a defender without juking them out, which even you've said takes skill, something that is developed over time. I don't think I would find myself playing a game 2-3 months down the road where I want to play offense, but almost require a team mate to score, thats just retarded, especially if the defenders are also getting better.
Deathball is a team game. Usually people that play for themselves will not stick around more than a week. But if they do, they will learn how to play as a team and this will get you a goal. Stick around, pubbers will get better. I'll try to get some more vets to play in pub servers so you can see some teamwork.
