How do you play?

So i have noticed 2 types of playing styles in kag as a knight
1 - where you want to get the best k/d possible
2 - where you help your team advance by helping team mates out, destroying buildings e.t.c

I used to play as number 1 but recently I have gotten bored of this and have moved closer to number 2 as its a much more fun experience.

What play style do you mostly use?

 

both

But in complete seriousness, having a good K/D and killing lots of enemies does help the team more than you might think. It's also probably a given that you should actually try to break defensive buildings and whatnot while stomping scrubs instead of camping in a tower using the conventional butt-pirate method.

Also, more often than not, being active and participating in the game (bombjumping over towers, kegging the enemy, pushing) generally does give you good K/D unless you are unable to pull it off and instead feed the enemy. The two methods, I think, go hand in hand. By getting good K/D, you help the team. In order to get high K/D, you push and probably rek some of their defenses/shops in the process. It is not as if grabbing a keg and exploding yourself on the nearest enemy defensive structure the whole round is a viable (nor fun) way to play. Also, how do you get money for kegs/whatnot by feeding/without stomping? Yes, you could ask your teammates, but there are surprisingly many who are reluctant to give "their" keg to others - because it's "their" property and theirs only. -> Rage ensues if you steal. Other than kegs or any other type of explosive, the only way a knight can help the team is basically by killing others, whether it is for fun or to protect a teammate (unless you call taunting the enemy by playing with/throwing dead bodies at their towers, or simply slashing at their walls, a way of helping the team advance).

Tl;dr, bottom line is that I think that there is no definite "ways" to play a knight. Both method 1&2 go hand in hand and are sort of dependable on eachother. Lets say you try to help the team as a knight and start escorting builders/kegsbearers. If you are unable to play well and die instantly, you probably wont be of much help. It is also a kind of good way to get a good K/D, because the enemy usually swarm to builders and keg-bearers in order to stop them. Being a good knight, is being able to take different aspects of different "methods" and mix them in order to both help the team and satisfy your e-pen.

 

I also do both.

Why can't I help my team advance but still maintain a 3.0 k/d ratio for 3 games (has actually happened :P)

 

banakaI1 ye you can still do that but I mean k/d isn't your main point of playing the game.

 

I second that, after trying it over and over again I can guarantee. It is fun.

 

I usually do both, when i get bored of going solo on the enemy team. I change to teamplay and help the team move forward, its quite fun doing this is a set because you get to kill/be killed and also be a good team sport.

 

I like to go with the flow, baby.

When there are enough knights on our team, I will go builder.

When there too many builders, I will go knight.

If we need to defend or push, I will go knight, because archers are dumb.

 

Did you know, if you put trap bridges above you, you can block collapses.

 

< best player in KAG

 

pfft, like i know how to use forums

 

I do both! When I play a knight and I see oh we're not coming forward, because of a wall, trap or whatever, I switch to builder.

I also often see how knights stand before a covered flag, dont know what to do. climbing and slashing again and again. I always think "WTF? Guys please think how we can get further". But it's always me who switches to archer, buy three f*****g bomb arrows, get back to my foolish teammates, still standing for a covered flag, and shooting the wall down! And then it's always "YEAH, we got the flag you noobs!111oneeleven" -.-

People have to work together! The most type of players is egoistic.

Only a few people are smart and try different things to get further!

Greetz Khaleesi!

 

im to good bad to do any of thoes XD

 

Im the guy how gets launched from the catapult to clear the way for the keg guy ... and still survive

 

When KAG, my eye automatically goes to the tower. I leap off the tower and feel I have sex with the knights below. All becoming STOMP

 

i move forward and kill people.

sometimes when i dont want to lose yet i defend the base and bomb the enemy's ballistas

 

I just constantlly fuck around with the grapple hook and piss off as many knights as possible by getting them to fall to their death over, and over, and over
