Bad players can move more unpredictably than good players

Elaborate

Good players are predictable in the way they all move "unpredictably" the same way. Clueless players are moving in ways you can't understand because they don't know what they are doing.

True, i can never hit my pipes especially when enemy doesn't even know im trying to hit him
