Well rounded means all stops. "Fast internet" included, unfortunately for you who think it should simply not count. It should, but shouldn't weigh as heavily. (I am a very good freestyle player, but since I have been in Europe, where the server is slow as shit, I have not been able to hold rank by playing FS, I have had to resort to other sorts, since I now BLOW at it). Honestly, the FS player is not the most well rounded player. However, if you can play FS as well as being excellent at all the others, it should count as more of that little extra step above.
Like when you're applying for university, and they're like "okay, these two have the same average, but one is bilingual..." who do they want in?
Same thing.. "These guys are both awesome teams/escalating players.. but this one is also good at FS.."
IMO, a player should NOT be judged on what they are strong at, but what they are weak at. THAT is how you find "well rounded" players. What is their weakest setting, and just how crappy are they at this setting?
The minute you can't find anything, is the minute you've found a truly great player.
However, I doubt we have any of those on CC, so that is why I nominated Great-Ollie. He plays all game types, spoil types, fog, trench, freestyle, sequential, all above average. THAT is the mark of a great player. He is not the best at all of them, or maybe not even any of them, but he is a fierce competitor at them all.
With that, NoS out.
