It's embarrassing to say the least.

Clicking can't possibly be what makes a bad player. My 5 year old son has his own FTP account and I let him do WZs.

He makes solo kills.

He clicks.

So many other issues with players to solve first.

Me, I wouldn't let my son - if I had one - play War Zones with 5 years ... Far, far too young, imho ...

But if this is for real, then it is imho at least impressive ...

I'm serious.

He can't really read chat, so that eliminates 99% of what could be inappropriate content. The action depicted is no worse than what you'd see in Ben 10, and he loves Star Wars... So, I let him play. When he first started I kinda felt bad for the other players on his team having to totally carry him, but now he is consistently 3rd or 4th place or better in the match rankings (I know, those rankings don't mean that much!).

Anyway, that fact that he is able to be somewhat competitive is amazing to me, either the force really does run strong in this family, or, as I said in my first post; not key binding is the least of the problems to solve!

Not many of those left anymore after the latest rounds of quitters and unsubs, so his son may be having a slaughterfest.

I have no doubt that he is. This game does not require much real 'skill'.

Which is shocking that so many people are so bad.

I prefer keybinding over clicking, but it's not really that important to me if people click or use keybinds as long as they're doing the job well. Sure keybinders are bit on the slow side but even the PvP here doesn't require FPS level reaction times.

Would believe you if he runs pre-30 warzones. A lot of keyboard-turners in this bracket. Slightly less so in pre-55.

Quoting yourself... on a mangled, stolen quote? No comment.

But yeah, I agree. Depending on the exact classes, the only people he can beat alone are those at the very dawn of their MMO life, or dedicated noobs who feel entitled to the right to be bad.
