I'm good at some things, bad at others. I would definitely do better if I can adjust the controls more to my liking, I'm pretty limited as the controls go now. I have a specific set of controls in mind that results in very good kill to death ratios of 10 or higher, but not being able to map to mouse causes me alot of problems. for example, I have trouble jump-crouching. I can't use sprint since there's no keys left for assignment. (Ctrl is unbound but I can't reach). in 0.75 block color selection is slow as I cannot map mouse buttons.
going by kill/death isn't really fair for me since this game isn't a pure FPS. if I was to go purely FPS and assuming there's no hackers/spawn campers I'd make at least 6 to 8 kills per death. average, with my usual sprees of 15+ before dying, typically since I'm out of ammo. There's entire maps that I do nothing but build, and other times I don't do anything but destroy. During those times I get killed alot (most spawn campers) and rarely make any kills since I'm fairly close to spawn all the time.
My skill regarding kills/playing seriously is so good on many servers sore loosers like to accuse me of hacking.
It's not my fault they suck and I kill them 25 times in a row! with the SMG. at sniper ranges. while moving.
usually the end comes when 10 people attack me and I only get 9 of them in one magazine.
in 0.70 I was somewhat of an expert shot with the SMG. now in 0.75 with different weapons features I have yet to find a nw weapon I'm perfect with.
I also had 8 years of practice in Counter Strike 1.6 Superhero mod servers (you get infinite ammo) to master the art of spray n pray. Why I'm so good with the SMG.
I've probably shot over 100,000,000,000 rounds in all kinds of FPS games to master spray n pray. it looks like I'm just randomly spraying, but I'm getting loads of kills.
in AoS I acquired a few special skills that only apply to AoS.
1, I'm very good with building, whether that be addition or subtraction.
2, since I'm, good at subtraction, I'm very good at destruction
3, I can snipe very well at the edge of fog. in Babel maps I'd often camp just beyond the fog on the enemy side and shoot at the hazy figures in the distance. Usually I'd only make 4-12 kills since most of them miss (due to lag or something).
4, since I'm good at extreme range sniping naturally I can shoot at blocks at that distance as well.
5, I can dig incredible cross-map tunnels. You would never know it unless you happen not seem me come out of the hole. or when I take the intel and you follow rather than shoot. of the 50+ cross-map tunnel's I've done only 7 have been discovered, and only 3 that's been used against me. in Which case comes #6-
6, I'm very good with the shovel. nothing is too big to destroy. it just depends on if there's enough time or not.
I believe if I can fully customize the controls I can play at my full potential- average 10+ kills per death all the time no matter what I was doing. I just need to be able to custom bind mouse buttons.
mouse 1 fire, mouse 2 ironsights/select block color, Mouse3 jump, Mouse4 reload/drag & build, Mouse5 sprint
then I can use my perfected "just for me" keyboard layout so I'm not constantly looking at the keyboard to find the right key or struggling to tap keys I can't reach.
