So, my son and I is talking about if players who is just using the stormhammer with berserker cape and boots, can fit into the category of good players.
My son think that it depends on how many kills you get, so if a player is just running around using the stormhammer and get a lots of kills, he or she is a good player,regardless of how many times he or she dies.
In my opinion (and yes I do have the stormhammer but never ever use it) a good player is not just running around with a meele weapon, but he use a shooting weapon, and he also try not to be killed while he is fighting.

So we thought that we would ask you pixelgunners what you think a good player is?
 
A good player knows how to deal with certain weapons, what tactics to use, not use that much armour or armour at all and who to target to get rid in battle. A bad player is someone who uses nothing but the storm hammer with full adamant armour, berserk boots and cape. They will never in the history of PG3D fit with players like me as they cannot use real weapons and lean towards the ones that take no skill. No matter what they do, anyone who only uses a storm hammer will get multiple kills regardless how good they are the game. Now you never know, there could be a good player who got sick of being kiled by the highly overpowered weapon the storm hammer and wanted to get kills.

So no, the storm hammer does not make you good player.
 
A storm hammer requires little skill, as the area of effect allows you to kill without even looking in the players general direction, whereas any other weapon allows some level of skill.
 
IN MY OPINION,

A good player is a well balanced player. A good player would use a vast amount of different tactics,weapons,and playing style. The more you can adapt to different players,maps,and weapons,the better you'll be. But if you just use a weapon that requires little aim/skill to use, you'll never improve.

There's nothing wrong with using a melee weapon,but I dont count the storm hammer as one. The hammer is more like a special weapon. It completely removes the purpose of it being called a melee weapon since it has area damage. ANYONE can run around the map with the hammer a get 20+ kills before dying. That weapon requires little skill.

It's like saying when people would hack the gears (mech,turrets,potions etc.) and spam them the whole entire match,that they are the worlds greatest players.

It's not about how many kills you get,it's how you got them that determines it.
