    So i can forget about ysl, kenzer, p0rthos, orpheus etc. Blacktail is the scariest legend of the bay.

    He's the original legend. He dominated the leaderboards back when the leaderboards were new lol. I was surprised to see that so few new players know this dude, he's John Wick here. Legend lol.

    True!!
    I would also love to see, how he would do now because there's a lot of competition nowadays.
    Players have evolved so much and there are so many aggressive players just like him.
    Records are made to be broken. ;)

    Old f2p players are still strong. They are very good battlers acctualy. Problem is, and most of us complain is that sometimes you can’t compete with p2w users. I get hits from legendary sniper that crits over 2.8k. Legendary Explosive criting 3.8k. Sometimes skills aren’t required to win a battle, but only firepower.

    Yeah....but Bittersteel is still hanging on with his Rares at 4k infamy, which is pretty impressive....I don't know bout others but Bittersteel is my inspiration.
    Being a Shooter, I love how he plays at his best with rares against epics and Legendaries.

    Same here. Though I think the reason I'm so obsessed with Blacktail is because he defines the full power of what an F2P can hope to wield in this game. To beat him is to surpass the limits. If he retired, we'll never know who's the best speeder, you know? I mean, of course, there's speeder types, but this dude literally MADE the meta back in the day.

    It’s not like, you can open your wallet and get things two times or even three times better than what we’ve took years and hard work to achieve, right ? That’s y I miss the days that legendaries items were true legends.

    Yeah, Bittersteel is a true god of the trade. Though I think Erik Wong was the best-equipped back when he played, Bittersteel's consistency and sheer, raw presence makes him a giant even among the Nightmares.

    When he comes back(nobody that good ever really leaves for good lol) I want a fight. Me vs him. I'm gonna lose, but I'll try to make it tough on him. (Fat chance tho, I just wanna see how he moves).

    Very much true.
    I didn't experience him playing with or against him though he's my friend in game till devs gave the sweet custom battle update.
    Thank you very much devs.
    Being a F2P Shooter, I really want to surpass him but seems like I'm standing in a long que. :p

    It’s not for your form of playing but I think he could 2 shot you, you can dodge with a lot of skill timing and luck 1 of them, (the flare probably) but stunned and on fire you would die the next cooldown.

    Just...Wow. Thank you for the compliments, you, and everyone else.

    I do think I’m overrated though. I just got a lot of positive exposure from P0rthos and Rovio. There are lots of F2P Nightmare league players, and some of them could absolutely demolish me.

    What I enjoy the most is your commentary lol. But I like a dry wit...
    And as far as nightmare league goes, my favourite aspect of your game play is your battlefield awareness. For me, the Fog of War is as thick as pea soup.

    I have had the privilege to play with (and against) Blacktail quite a few times before, mostly prior global launch. Obviously he was one of the best players at the time and probably killed me many more times than I killed him, but I still managed to catch myself few memories of those times ;)
