What determines good and bad sparring?
 

What things make you think someone is bad or good at sparring?

I see people complain about others and I see people say others are good at times when I don't quite see it.

I wonder what most people think makes someone good or bad.

check their stats

Maybe I should have said, what do people like and dislike about how others spar? Or is there a right or wrong way to spar?

Some positive sparrers are worse than me. You can't just determine a person by their stats. They can face newbs all the time and have 10:1 rating.

A good sparrer to me is someone who only uses their main account to spar on. It shows that they don't care as much for ratios compared to someone who uses noob accounts to "practice spar".

-Not raging after a match
-Not cocky
-Not selective sparring underrated players


Now what I like about how other people spar is they have their own style, which is unique and challenging sometimes. I have no problems with people who rushes their oppenent, stays on walls, lags, runs, ect. To be honest, everyone else shouldn't have a problem with that either. You know better than to click the queue button and expect to have a solid-going match.

What I dislike about how other people spar is only if they intentionally lag, speed hack, invisibility hack, or logs off during the match. Other then that, I'm pretty easy going with the whole spar issues like so many other players have.

Winning...

Top of the leader board on their main account.

Ignorant scrubs who know they lag/delay, being French, Aussie, or Japanese, and are at the top of the leaderboards and boast like there's no tomorrow...all this makes a bad sparrer.

This. People who blames others because of their race and where they live. It's their fault because they live where they are? No. People like him are at the bottom of the Spar Community. Not trying to start anything, but it is just a game. No reason to hate anyone because of their nationality/race.

I have seen a few statuses these days saying "if you live in Japan don't play graal because you ruin the game for everyone else". Not exactly kind eh.

None taken. Not hating, someone could be from the US and still know they lag/delay excessively and still brag about their wins. Frankly, I find it pathetic to brag about anything at all about this game.

made me lol late at night

lol a sparring thread

Winning against others makes you a good sparrer. You don't become a good sparrer by losing obviously.

Hacking good sparrers

Spar is full of delayers and intentional laggers[even if half say they don't](by that I don't mean they haven't got good style of sparring but some take it to next level)
