Yeah, saying Fizzer is slightly above average is an insult. He's not a great player IMO, but far better than average. I would say the average skill level is MUCH lower than it used to be. Sure, we still have some great players on here, but there are a lot of new players that I think lower the average skill level.
^ I would also add Mod to that list, he's one of the few elites I've played several times, and he's very good, picks up varied settings fast and he's a quick thinker too.
I'd put buns on that list on that too, he's always been a good player, but in the last year or so he's really put the work in and made himself top-tier, easily one of the best in Warlight now, if less well known cos he's a Kong transfer :)
Also Fizzer is a good player, but as argued before, it's a question of whether you factor "caring about winning" into skill level, cos that's the only reason many of the veteran players don't stay on top form, no-one can forever.
