I'm not sure if it's just me, but I perceive a huge difference between the way people play on regular Player 1v1 and Tag versus Ranked matches.
I've played at least 5 of the top 20 on 1v1 ranked and they are nothing but spammers.
With that said, it makes me wonder: do you have to be a spammer to be a winner in MK?
I know the Leaderboard does not rank according to W:L - rather, total games w/ W:L - so it distorts the picture of who is really good out there.
There's always posts on here about how to deal with spammers and honestly, saying is not doing.
I've noticed that people on Player mode, even if they lose, will still like to stay around and play a few matches w/o complaining; however, on ranked, people are "competitive" and talk shit after one match, send hate mail, and laugh at you because they spammed to win and call you a loser.
I've also found that on ranked, people will depend on one combo the whole time and use a trap like Cyrax's net to pull it off. They will also do JP non-stop until they land it to do the combo.
When it comes down to the last few hits on both players, I usually see desperation from the opponent by resorting to cheap tactics by throwing a barrage of projectiles.
It seems that on Player mode, people don't play as cheap, use the same combo, or spam nearly as much. It's not that they necessarily don't care when they play, it seems they just want to play more for fun. Your thoughts?
Please, no asshat remarks about how to deal with spammers or how to use block (high or low). It's pretty obvious and unrelated to this topic.
I just want to know if anyone else has noticed this too.
Thanks
