You fail to see the light, Zetsumei. You have to get out of your constricted view of what a "good" player is. In a team based game, the "good" player is the one that performs the task that is required of him. Whether it requires him to be in the capzones, killing at will or sitting back covering a single exit that prevents the enemy from flanking and taking out the entire team....

Perhaps Rambo was a bad metaphor. By Rambo, I meant the guy that got 90% of the kills on his team, or capped all the objectives, was everywhere all time, etc. He was the "topgun". ie.. by your definition, the "best" player on the other teamRambo's die so they do not help the team. ....
That is an assumption you are making. As in my opening paragraph, what if his job was to keep one area of the teams flanks clear. Suppose he effectively shuts that area down by killing the one or two enemy that try to slip through? He lets his other teammates tend to other tasks. You are assuming his low score was not beneficial to the team. Perhaps you have a different paradigm of what makes good teamwork from others? Thus my question..."How is the 'best' determined?" By whose paradigm?If a player only kills the last person what has he been doing the entire match? Even if he makes the most important final kill, if he's done nothing the entire match he's not much of a help towards his team.
Read between the lines You've taken my use or your quote out of context. Why you think spotters are not useful was not what I was taking issue with. It was to point out that for you spotters are not that useful in the game. Others may think otherwise. I was (attempting) to use it in correlation with the problem of stating what the "best" player should be.The reason why I think spotters are not useful is because there is a limited amount of classes. Sure you.......
Now we're getting somewhere And suppose the guy with one kill was told to watch the last cap and defend it with his dying breath? Did he not win the game for his team? Did he not perform his assignment? Isn't it nice that he was willing to let all the others get the glory of the kills/min, the points for objectives, the high scores and that he let them be the "best".For instance defending should pretty much be equally rewarded as capping.
