Oh here's a great example of why I am how I am.
I try and be professional, always. Though I am currently being less so than ever... Because apparently it gets me nowhere. (Even though my un-pro is still > most. Sad) but, below is an excerpt from my new Sealed Systems thread...

Experimentation and adapting tactics = our team's progress thru the tourney. We always tweaked between matches, but one of the biggest decisions was having Ace (one of the best bfb medics in the game) run nanites after our first fight against team tastypotato. Old school players usually have a tendency to poop on nanites as one certain caster did, a lot, but the improvement after switching one medic was noticed immediately. Which UnfoldedSoup probably suggested since it worked.

(Btw we're not talking those dumb medics in mercs who go nanite poison and get 30k, we're talking medics with brain cells here:)
Ace often QUADRUPLED TheFacture's (another of the game's best bfb medic) heals which is sic. Being able to apply them from a great distance was a huge advantage (a couple teams even just allowed him to free-snipe all match), the buff made our assaults ridic, and that HoT made moving and surviving even if we temporarily lost one player much more possible.

Ace = #1 nanite medic in GA.
