Yeah, this could be said for most people on the top of the leaderboards. Most, anyway...I've seen some who only have about 200 bounty that play all day up there. (They never go above 200, and their win/loss ratio from wins to games played shows the same results.)False. It takes skill to win, and the people who have realized that they have the skill to win decided to play more, and in turn they've climbed the leaderboards quite a bit.
I dislike when people say that user rank doesn't prove "skills." Players who don't have any amount of PvP skill (minecraftlol), simply don't win.
It is still true however that the exact order from most wins to least isn't nearly the same as the order of best to worst, not at all. That's why I still prefer points to show skill.
Oh, and a side note: Minecraft does have some PvP skills, trust me - I've not really thought about it much until recently, but there is a lot more to it than you think - I do a whole bunch of things when PvP'ing people without even thinking about it, but when I thought about it more, I was like "oh yeah...that makes sense, I didn't even realize I did that..."
For example: I pull out my bow at a far enough range that the opponent follows along and pulls his out, but close enough that I can then put the arrow away and rush towards them for several strikes from my sword by surprise while they are struggling with the bow. I never even realized I always did that until recently when I actually thought about it...I learned it a long time ago, but it's not something I really thought hard about, it just came naturally, I adapted from making the same mistakes and learned what actually worked.
On my scale of 1-10 on PvP skills (5 being average.) I put myself at 8. (Yep, I'm bragging. ) A few people like sixzoseven I'd put more like at 9. Only the true PvP gods that are unbeatable go at 10, I've yet to see any that don't hack though.
