People dont need to defend me, but I appreciate it.
Im not over here with a calculator figuring out whether to give people an A- or an A. If I havent seen someone play in a tournament live the farthest I will go is check on Hancocks stats sheet or ask their captain what class they play.
Im not throwing AWH under the buss. Ive honestly been talking them up all tournament. Their ranking on my list has consistently been higher than their actual ranking in the tournament standings. It does not take a god tier strategic mind to see that you all could have won the KoA match with some better infantry cohesion and awareness. I don't see how this can be viewed as a controversial opinion when you had people like Chowski and MihaWk coming into your discord in the middle of the match and saying basically the same thing.
DoF is pretty simple. Their key players list would look really stupid without some infantry players. When I watched them play Unknown, which has been their one close match this season, they had squeaks and wastee both in. If people are expecting me to update their key players based on the comps they ran against NL3 that isnt happening. Also, I literally have not touched DoFs list since the preseason, since nothing has really made me change my opinion of them since preseason. I think the only change Ive made is moving Ale from an A+ to an A
There are more people rated A- and higher at cav because cav players have more of an affect on matches right now. This one isnt that hard to figure out. You can say that Archer has a similar affect on matches, but teams tend to run less of them than they do cav. The power class with more people maining it is naturally going to have more people doing well. I wrote an entire post on the forums about how infantry has less mains and worse K-Ds, complete with charts.
In terms of Chowski having an A-, its a combination of his stats prior to this week and the head to head matchup RCC had with Unknown. We got to play Unknown in what was essentially a giant cav v cav during the first set of our match, and quite frankly the RCC cav dominated and were the reason we won that set. With everything else being equal the RCC cav played better and that is why they are As compared to A-s. Im just now checking the stats against RM and it looks like Chowski played really well, and he will probably get bumped up to an A.
I dont know why anyone thinks an A- is even a bad thing. Thats still within the top players of the tournament. I mean Aaron Rodgers got an 89 B+ on madden this year? Congrats, you are complaining about having a better rating as a Bannerlord player than Aaron Rodgers does as a football player.
