"To me, a nice triple kill with the sniper is infinitely more impressive than any Living Dead Killionaire"

Does flaming people on forums count as an esport?

I was just wondering if any experienced MLG playlist guys could let me know if there's a big difference between a ZB octagon with default settings and an MLG octagon with the current settings of 110% or anything. Specifically about strafing, is it any harder to hit shots with MLG settings? and if I practice MLG settings will I get screwed when I go to default Reach?

Yes... but then again, depends on the players in question.

Obviously if they stand still it makes no difference. But will if I practice a lot with MLG settings will default Reach seem really slow and will my shot be screwed up?

Nope. SouthPole isn't a person. He's the avatar of the force of tryhards everywhere. He stalks the web looking for retards to set straight. He can not be stopped by mere bans or thread locks for he shall rise anew.

MLG will only help your game. You won't get better playing with crutches (default).

Great. I find 85% to be playable, default is absolutely infuriating, and ZB is fun when I'm feeling competitive.

Your shots will be messed up because of Bloom regardless. If you want to get better, practice with ZB.

Depends on who you get matched up with. It's too bad there isn't some system...where players...would get matched up...with other players...of the same skill level...

Trueskill does work, sometimes. When I played on a new account with friends on new aacounts, we matched terrible players. The first games you play you shouldnt get destroyed.

Nope. No trueskill in Reach. It was entirely luck that you got matched with terrible people.

Why even bother, really?
I rage.

There is some form of trueskill in reach.
It widens the search if an "optimum match" isn't found almost immediately. Due to the low population of most playlists this is the case most of the time.
Go into super slayer when it's at it's peak population and(if you've played/won enough games) you get matched with good people consistently.

But at least you know you will be playing under same conditions, except the ping which will be random

Tin shacks and catfish bones.

Correction. Your shots will be messed up because your ADD/ADHD won't allow patience not because of bloom.

When I play to win I voice message people call outs.

There is some true skill in Reach. Play on your account, in any playlist (besides MLG), and then make a new account and play in the same playlist. I promise you, you'll go +20 every game.

Are you one of those people, that take one shot and then wait for their reticle to reset completely.
