If this is the case then maybe I can use personal ordnances to bait people into assassinations. Just another tool in my toolbox towards humiliation. I love the concept of assassinations. Official and earned T-Bagging. Now complete with killcams and final killcams.
No matter how good the other team is doing, they still feel like an idiot when they know I'm around them and I still pull off the assassination. So satisfying...
Those are some damn solid points. The "feel" of the cadence is definitely a hard thing to measure with hard facts, but I get what you're saying. "Chain" teamshotting, or a person going from being shot by one person to being shot by another person around the corner, is definitely something I didn't consider. I definitely agree that 4sk definitely benefits that better than 5sk does. And shield/health awareness is definitely important too as 5sk means just another interval to muck up a reading and be less accurate. Labeling a player as 1sk or 2sk is definitely preferred over labeling someone as 1sk, 2sk, OR 3sk as well as keeping track of it and accurately labeling is better under the 4sk.
And only briefly bringing back in the math; under a 4sk between 1 person involved and 3 people involved you get a total of 2.5 seconds shaved off your kill time, while under 5sk you would have 3 seconds saved off your kill with 3 people. So while you don't get as much shaved from 2 people in 5sk you still get more time shaved when you add that 3rd person. And you still get a reward for adding that second player it is just .5 seconds less of a reward (from 3 secs in 5sk to 2.5 secs in 4sk).
And I'm definitely curious as to what their particular reasoning is behind taking the 5sk route. Not for argument, but FOR SCIENCE/theorycrafting.
