Seeing as how yourself and racka aren't basers, who will be in charge of base ratings?

[beam]

Tune in and find out!

[Vehicle]

If a bunch of people show up to listen/watch, consider doing RoboBot !poll's for arena voted ratings. Don't make it the deciding factor but might be good to make it interactive.

Couple things stand out to me in WB

Turb 9 -> 9.5, performed well in LD vs strike/pandora and did fine as a 9.5 last season. I have no idea why he was lowered.
renzi 7.5 -> 8, stop letting this kid win dtd for free
jessup 7.5 -> 7, may be similar to 7.5s in talent but has the most dreaded downside in the game (makes their teammates worse)
booker 8 -> 7.5, he went 52-80 last season as a 7.5* and he isn't definitively better than the 7.5s
j-b-inc 7.5 -> 6.5, very low iq
yoast 6.5 -> 6, this guy is as bad as it gets, I would rate him a 5 if I could

No offense intended

after a quick glance these would be my proposed changes in javelin. I personally feel that the ratings are imbalanced with far too few 9-star rated players.

maketso 9.5 > 9 - he is a solid defensive player, but doesn't really carry games. he's on the same level as vys and cape in my honest opinion.
tiny 9.5 > 9 - extremely inactive and doesn't care as much about the game anymore. he had an average twdt season followed by a negative overall score in twl. currently plays at a similar level (or slightly worse?) as maketso, cape, and vys.
kado 9 > 8.5 - when was the last time this guy played and actually performed? i don't think we should rate players based on their potential from several years ago as circumstances change.
spectacular 8 > 7.5 - he's not living up to his name. i would have a hard time to justify adding him over any other 8-star rated player.
crazy canockout 8 > 7.5 - used to be a really solid player, but this was roughly 15 years ago.
major crisis 8 > 7.5 - this could be finally the season he gets dropped down to 7.5 rating. his recent performances in the past 4 seasons should be enough proof.
rojo 7.5 > 7 - he's a decent elim/duel player from svs, but still unproven in team setting.
spirit 7.5 > 7 - this man returned after basically 10 years of inactivity and is already rated based on his maximum potential.
tripin 7.5 > 7 - i don't believe he even really plays this ship anymore. similar level to banks, peru, and wbm. alternatively those three could be bumped up?
jessup 7 > 6.5 - talent wise she's definitely in the same bracket, but her style of play means you are basically playing a man down.
pineapple express 7 > 6.5 - he hates this ship with passion and is generally clueless in a team setting.
rucci 6.5 > 6 - despite having over 40,000 kills in ?go javs, this man is the current record holder of most 1-10 games in TWDT-J setting and nearly unplayable at his current rating.
snoopie 6 > 5.5 - this man had a legendary season averaging 1 kill for every 9 deaths in TWDT over 8 games for my team. 10-star mascot, would recommend.
loc_dog 6 > 6.5 - has a good amount of experience in this ship from eliminations and past twd squads like ancients. old player from sweden.

I will be updating the ratings whenever DT OPs forward me changes. If a player sees a suggested rating change, doesn't mean it's gonna happen so please don't spam me with PMs (like every DT) as I will ignore all requests for rating changes. (PS im not DT OP)

[Vehicle]

Has there been any discussion of what the star caps will be? Is draft still the 5th? It looks like there are more caps signed up then there will be teams as well...

[Cape]

Turb took the time to lower just about everyone's rating.
Might just be angry from coming up empty in the last TWL.

[Majorcrisis2]

When i see my rating the only thing i can do is laugh. You seriously consider me preforming the same as i did on my prime time? Like turban said, i think the performance of the last 4 seasons, if not more, should say enough. And that's not just jav... I guess since i can terr/shark somewhat i am a 8, when u look at the stats of last twl/twdt seasons it should tell you something else.
Lets just ignore wb... Havent touched that for years.

I was already overpriced last season and i got only more inactive since.



I feel like this might count for more players. I have no Idea who actually still play actively etc though.

I wasn't able to watch the stream live I will check it out later when heaven uploads it so I am not sure if any of these were discussed on it but these names might need a second look for base:

These people might be underrated:
+ dutch baser, maybe 8.5
+ gypsi, she has gotten a little less terrible, 6.5 feels better
+ four plai, if that is who i think it is, shes about on par with lee but way more experienced, should be a 6.5, maybe 7.
+ honcho, has improved in spider this year, should go up to at least 6.5

These people might be overrated:

- Ra, I was not all that impressed playing beside him in TWL someone told me he's good, I am still waiting to see it
- tj hazuki, Mr. 1-1 spider went from being really underrated to being rated too high. Also with all those birthdays, he is getting kinda old.
- paradise, more overrated than his fake jamaican accent
- tripin, did I miss something here, why is this guy an 8?
- beam, probably closer to 7 hes heavy
- lee, nice guy but does he ever go +?


Also +1 for making turban 9.5 in warbird, guy so close to being 30*.

I agree with
four plai being higher.
Ra used to be 9* when he was active and back in his thunder days and 8.5 seems more appropriate at his current state.
Paradise to be lowered from 8.5.
Tripin def not playable at 8 for multiple seasons now.

Other:
How is mouse not 10? His twlb finals performance should speak for itself.

How is mouse not 10? His twlb finals performance should speak for itself.

mouse is a beast but imo there's a clear difference between him and 10s such as trasher, sarger, ease, turban, cripple. so 9.5 seems right to me.

btw where is carmen "trasher" sandiego?
