What's making someone a VET ??

[StarKitty]

Lol Anduril you stole my topic hehe

but anyway....

-When a vet loses at elim, they were never trying anyways.
-When a vet wins at elim, it was easy as pie.
-Whenever a vet dies, they respond in laughter, apparently vets think it's funny when they die.
-Or, whenever a vet dies, they become tired and begin to yawn, alot. On average 1 per death.
-Or even, whenever a vet dies, they are apparently "newbed". They in fact state that a player "lesser" than them has successfully killed them, and no matter how many times more the "newb" kills the "vet", it is still always "newbed".
-Vets never have numbers, underscores, or other symbols in their names.
-Vets never communicate with players below their skill level outside of "ez", "newbed", "racial slur", etc*
-Part B to the said above: you must be lonely.

I'm not saying that players who have been around the game for a while can't be nice or whatever, I've met my share of cool people. But generally, the players who call themselves "vets" fall into one of those actions if not more or all.

Truer words have never been spoken
In my opinion the people who are vets... are those who don't "need" to say it or even be told it... they just are
Name that spring to mind over the years...
Left_Eye (former ER),
Raspi... (I've never met a cooler baser/Jav player)
uhm Tigerex? (lol another former ER)
RabbitRapist...(funny guy )

hehe these are to name just a few

Anyway things that make you either a l337 n00b or a wannabe vet...

1- Macro "EZ" after every kill...
2- Type either "lame" or "TK" or "spawn" after every death
3- whinging that they can't change freq when their team is losing..
4- ALWAYS spawning... and then saying "sorry .. reactions" every god dam time

Meh i think my post is long enough now lolz i can think of many more but honestly can't be bothered to whine about the lamers hehe

a vet is someone with true skill. me, for example. i never played this game until january of this year, so when i used Jerome in-game, people were already like WOAH WOAH you that jerome from the forums? THE jerome?

The entire concept of a "vet" is overrated. It should have nothing to do with skill either.

In my book, a vet is a survivor.

[StarKitty]

define "survivor" then...

Because you can survive simply by running away... popularly demonstrated by many in elim...

[Verthanthi]

Very clever, that would indeed fit TK's definition.

I mean survivor in the carnal, gritty sense, but if you want to lump that definition to the word, then go ahead.

The word "vet" holds little glamour to me, and not all its uses should be positive.

[Firesprout]

imo a vet is usually a silent one and doesnt fuss over petty things. he/she plays this as a GAME not as his entire life

btw why cant xs be vets?

[King Baba]

Andu is the man. :up:

[pascone]

a vet is a nice car

a vet is a 12 year old staffer who yells at everybody

[PaulOakenfold]

Vet should be taken out of the TW language for misuse and overuse. KTHNXBYEVETS

[Awesome]

contrary to most true newbie beliefs, a staffer does not equal a vet.

secondly, a vet in my opinion, is someone who has performed well in leagues more than once... Tys (aka Tyson_Bitbeast), Mega Newbie, Deck, Colonel and Nikolai played great last year in leagues but none of them seem like vets to me because it was one year.... obviously all of them will likely become vets in years to come but they are not quite there yet. vets to me are someone who has done it for many years in a row.

thirdly, people like 2dragons, Epinephrine, demonfaze, vihta, koan, blood, banzi, foreign, sika, domi, DUMBRIT!, ara, Hercules, Annul, code, eRad, Golden Knight.... they've all been playing the game for a long time, done well in leagues in the past, and have the right attitude... these are true vets in my opinion

.....but who even cares, ....vets is a title thrown around by newbies for the most part in hopes that they actually know one of these people who everyone considers a vet so that they can feel like they are one too simply because they know one.

EDIT: i agree with DUE.... pure basers, to me, are not "vets" or whatever you wanna call that class of players that is at the "elite" level. they just arent in my opinion.... in basing, 1 player wont make MUCH of a difference between winning or losing, except Brookus... who in my opinion is the only baser vet.

ROMES!! IS THAT YOU?

[Crossfirez]

But there are people who have been playing this game for 10 yrs and are still unknown without a good level of skills. They aren't seen as vets I believe.

sry but this game isn't 10 years old. Not that it's far from now though.

A real Vet rarely talks. Actions speak louder than your macroed text.
