Can someone explain me how the fcuk this works?
Going by from what I can gather, you enter a staking match, and you both throw yourself at Jagex' mercy to get as much good hits as possible, and get hit for as few as possible.
Now, as all of you know, the hit calculation happens at random, as in: You swing a weapon (Cast a spell, do whatever you want) and then the game decides how much you hit based on several variables, those ones being defence, strength, attack, and so on. However the most important variable is the random hit generator. It ultimately decides wether or not you'll hit and for how much.
As most of you are aware, there is such as thing called mathemathics (but then spelled correctly), and going from that:
If you face a player of equal qualities, all the stats even eachother out, as everyone is abiding by the same mechanics and rules. Thus the only variable that doesn't get canceled out is the random hit generator, and ultimately decides who will win.
Now you can not argue with it. This isn't religion, this isn't some biased subjective theory, this is plain logic.
So if we go by this logic, how the hell is there such a thing as "good staker"? I mean, don't get me wrong: I know alot of you are 13 year old kids who like nothing more to find the next best thing to praise and worship, but does anyone ever stop at the fact that there is no such thing as being good at staking?
As a matter of fact, the only thing I can find being slightly related to "skill" (player skill) is finding your target in the clusterfcuk of names popping up the second you right click the ball of people duking it out. But that isn't in the least bit related to staking, rather to point precision clicking which comes closer to playing a shooter than anything else.
So what am I missing here? It just seems to unlikely to me that all these players get worshipped for their lucky hits they get, so there must be something more.
