Why we can't have nice things. (Destiny)

Not to dismiss his skill. Skill was there, and I realize he probably doesn't get 70 kills routinely, but instead is a good player that through a confluence of luck, team mates, enemies, maps, and heavy ammo managed a game I probably never will. The thought that occured to me half way through and seem to apply, is that the game plays like his TrueSkill ranking was reset and he was given noobs to play with and against. I'm a damn good soccer player when the 12 year olds let me play with them.

I actually went back to see if I could find the stats for that game; I looked at all of his Shores of Time game from late December through early January (a dozen or two). He consistently gets 25-35 kills/game on that map, sometimes as high as 50. 70 is an outlier - but less of one for him than for the rest of us. :)
