the one thing i've learned from this heated topic is that all one needs is experience. no matter where it may be or who with. the more practice, the more you'll learn.
I think you've got the right mindset, but the wrong idea. If you train with the wrong people, you develop bad tactics. And in my mind, training is every game between LC games. It's simple, the more you play games, as in actual official AA games, the better you get. I haven't played in a while, but I think if you ask Vince, Ben or Hunter, the last few games I played, I wasn't bad at. That's because I used to play alot before then.
I don't have time to play now, so I'm getting worse. If I played with Doug and the Team of Twelve's, I would probably know half of what I know now. I think he's got the right idea, to train, but going about it in the wrong way. I'm not saying I've got a better way, I'm not even trying. So he's doing better than me by putting the effort forth, but I'll wait till' the games, where the experience builds. Plus, you get the same amount of experience, twice as often, with no charge, with people my age.
