TF2 now just stupid aim-oriented shit, like cs1.6 10 years ago (or like TDM in QL between 2 teams full of hardcore bots, 0 map control, but FRAGS). When you see 10 vids per day with 100% hits, this becomes boring.

And yep, its rage a bit.

Couldn’t be further from the truth. None of these games are dominated by aim although obviously it can play a significant role. These are first person SHOOTER games after all. I would argue strongly that TF2 is by far the LEAST aim dependent game out of the three you mentioned. The fact of the matter is, those players who lack an all round skill set have very limited and/or short-lived success in any of these games.

Also, aim does not come only from exemplary mouse control, it’s a combination of various intertwined abilities and you would be extremely naive to think otherwise. Brain prevails in the end. Inferior aim can be compensated for to a large extent through smart play, good positioning, good movement etc whilst lack of experience and intelligence (i.e. gamesense) can’t be.

Consider the current 1v1 scene in Quake Live as it is likely perceived as the most “aim demanding” of the games you mentioned. Several of the players at the absolute pinnacle of competitive play have distinctly average aim, e.g. Rapha, Cooller, Av3k and yet between them they have won more top level duel events than every other currently active competitive Quake player combined.
