*Alarm bells ringing*

 

Everything else seems valid though.

Wallrunning + Acrobatics + Accuracy

 

Not to brown-nose at all, but the first time I played with Letter13, I felt like a noob because of how agile he was.

Funny, I've played with Letter exactly once, and he was a Nova in an ODD, so I didn't get to see much agility.

Just a bit sad that game ended too soon.

-When everyone stays near the objective/object they are trying to protect in a mobile defense instead of being hallway heroes.

 

-not seeing ability spam

 

-only seeing ability spam when someone goes down

 

-people staying close to a group in survival 

 

-not dunking up and down on elevators

The mark of a player experienced in anything is the ability to do multiple things at once.

 

Firing while moving to cover or keeping cover between yourself and other enemies.

 

Using melee to stay mobile, instead of just spamming randomly.

 

Prioritization and awareness: a player who immediately runs to revive somebody is nice, not smart; clear the enemies around them quickly, so you don't end up on the ground too.

 

On the most basic level, people who avoid damage, instead of trying to survive it or just kill the enemy first. Those Suspicious Shipment missions were amazing at showing who was good and who was using their face to catch bullets.

Not using the bloody Soma/Ogris/Penta/Whatever OP weapon is popular right now, and still doing just fine.

 

(yknow, the fact that there's not much being said here kind of says something about the skill ceiling in this game, doesn't it?)

It is easy to tell if a person in your game is not doing well, say if they are constantly going down,

 

If the player is using an explosive weapon and people keep getting in front of him.... i think he is not the unskilled player.

But then there's also lag so....

"A good Tenno knows when the fight can be taken head on and when it needs to be dealt with finesse. He or she will either terminate her enemies rapidly or in order of threat and immediate danger."

 

"A good Tenno sharpens all of his skills, not just his Warframe's abilities so that when the blindsiding Ancient Disruptor slaps you across the room, there is no hesitation in picking your next best mean to quickly take it down."

 

"A good Tenno works as a Cell; he doesn't let his pride or personal desire for success obscure the objective(s) of his missions and its completion. He is besides his allies when the going gets tough and spreads out slightly to maximize their combat potency in more lenient moments."

 

"A good Tenno masters his weapons and Warframes not only for himself but for his allies as well. Knowing not only what you can do but what your allies are capable of then acting accordingly is a further sign of expertise."

 

"A good Tenno is malleable enough to fit the needs of his Cell; he or she is both teacher and student, wise and ignorant. He learns knowledge and imparts knowledge back to those who craves perfection, even when knowing perfection will never be achievable but instead a goal to forever strive for."

 

"A good Tenno strives to muster the preceding guidelines and ever so improve himself for the benefit of his brothers and sisters in arms."

And that's just IMHO; content may vary per player. I merely find them goals to be worth working for.

These suggestions are great, and keep em coming.

 

One thing that I would like to point out is that skilled=/=considerate, you can be the best player in the world and not wait in elevators.

 

 

Other stuff like reviving is interesting as well, many people have mentioned it here, but then running into revive someone and getting downed in the process is not a smart thing to do. Sure you tried to save them, but in the end you just threw yourself into a wall of bullets for nothing.

 

Regardless, keep em coming.
