Im aware of king of the hill, seeing as how i played in it.
Dave already made frequent use of paras, and he held rank 1 with usf pretty consistently but not too many people adopted his strategy. His build was a little too prone to being punished and required a more specific style in order to pull off. While i generally agree top players usually look towards the absolute best players for their builds, i think that some strategies are too specific to be adopted by other players. Then again, that isnt even the main point youre trying to make, so just consider this just some of my ramblings.
The ultimate point is there is no reason for you to be against USF weapons to be field upgrades. Your argument of being a TOP 1vs1 USF players is not valid since it would be exactly the same for you while improving USF gameplay on teamgame.
I suspect that your answer and little speech on TOP1vs1 vs TOP teamplayer had more to do with the poster than the topic itself looking at past discussions between the two of you.
