Divers vs Sharks

[someone]

Alright I'm going to ask it... I know a lot of people here aren't capable of these types of questions, but in an effort to just get peoples opinions, particularly those who have invested a lot of time into the game, here it goes.

I fully admit I'm not the best shark or diver. But does anyone else think (even moreso with the recent buffs) that divers are just better than sharks?
I've played with and against some of the best sharks and divers, and I don't know how sharks beat 4 really good divers all on their game.

That's it. That's the whole post.

PS. And no SeanXD this is not cause you beat me everytime I see you :)

Well with a good well balanced team of divers the divers > Sharks at least on some of the maps

However, the divers have a higher skill ceiling than the sharks, so good divers are much harder to come by than good sharks in my experience

I don't. I've played against the best shark players several times I'd take them to win over the best diver team 8/10 times.

Though I'd say Devils' Head in particular would be very friendly to the divers.

Devil's Head is one of my favorites to play as shark because of the challenge. Also, as shark, I've have 6 man queues of some of the best divers and sharks in the game and it's still not incredibly hard to win as shark, for me at least... Damn Nookie and his poons tho.

Devils Head is the best map for both sides

Well as I remember, in our FPL win also depend on team play / maps / fail in-game. Generally games are really close for each side.
But I think that divers have been right buffed, I mean EH isn't use now cause it sucks to be honest then FPL are real challenge now.
In pub the buff on weapons (Bullet speed) help casual diver people and make it a bit more hard for casual sharks but shark side is easier to play so I find it well balanced :)


Hell yeah Devils Head awesome, like THE CREVICE !! :p

Appreciate the opinions all. After reading the thread on Tigers maybe I'll give them a try. Lately as GW against really good divers I'm just getting murdered by tranq gun/nets.

Maybe if you guys don't mind I'll add you and join in private lobbies. I'm not getting much better in pub matches, and to be honest I'm doing stupid things because I'm so used to being able to get away with them in a pub game against average players.
I will say playing against good guys (SeanXD I'm looking at you!) and losing teaches me 10x more then playing in a pub match and wrecking everyone.
Need some help breaking through my current skill cap.

Dddddddo it

I find devils head to be Diver heavy for the records due to hallway range. Less of the 360 aiming range.

I think 4 good divers still have slight advantage on any map, but 1-2 great sharks can make a difference. Pro or not, decent divers can win.
