The Skill Level still high or lower than before?

Post by NekoBerk »

Well, maybe this topic is really overkilled, but let's compare once again the good old days of Age 3 with nowadays, are our appreciated top players as good (or even better) as the old top players? (Challe, NaturePhoenix for example, etc) or the skill level is lower compared to the old competitive years ?

And let me ask you something else, who would you consider as the "GOAT" (Greatest of All Time) top player of aoe3? and why?

He's a legend of the game and was the conquerer of AOE back in early 2006. He dominated World Cyber Games as well. After his domination, he road off into the sunset... and never returned again.

The real question is: Why Lebron?

Lebron vs Jordan 1v1 would end the same way as a PR 50 vs PR 15 in aoe

iamgrunt was clearly the best. He was way ahead of everyone else with macro and micro. As well I would consider StarSky as one of the best. But he mainly abused germans when the uhlans were stronger than cuir. Ah fun times.

what the fuck, literally the only argument you can make for Kobe over Lebron is Kobe finals wins which is nullified when you take into consideration Lebron's competition has been much better than Kobe's and that Lebron's career isn't anywhere near being over and he could easily win 2 more titles.

I cannot say who the GOAT was and it is hard to compare players back then to players now. I will say my favorite players to watch were NP, Iamgrunt, Starsky, braidon, Black Ice Spain and MrCheese. :)

Didn't we have this thread a few months ago? There's a 2-year interval on this topic before we're allowed to discuss this again.

Nekoburk doesn't understand that the Basement Charity Telethon was run through a trusted third party platform which handled every single cent of the donated money.

Average? Lower by far. If Diarouga, Rafufu and Mad Mankl the Mad the turd all were active, it wouldn't be so bad, given Aizamk's presence.

seriously? how was bron's competition much better? 2010 Celtics was no joke. And talking about finals wins do you remember 2011 finals, where james was virtually non-existent in the fourth quarters and had a fucking all start team. Kobe carried lakers in finals and has won championship with and without O'Neal. Bron's physical game might be stronger but Bryant is way ahead in skills be it Clutch, shooting, mentality, footwork & what not.

Yea losing to the mavs is completely on Lebron's shoulders ill give you that one. The celtics were a 50 win team that year lol how can you possibly compare them to either of the warriors teams lebron lost to or either spurs team he lost to? In 2007 he lost to the 58 win spurs with mo williams as his 2nd best player and every other team hes lost to his been a 60+ win teams. Kobe's barely a better shooter, Lebron has a much better career % overall and a better 3 point %. Lebron is just overall a more dominant player, he can dominate on both sides of the ball and makes his teammates better, while Kobe only ever did 1 of those things consistently.
