    It is relevant to the discussion, as you have said you are easily able to tell how well or poor you do.. and you have brought that to the table as one of your arguments, for whatever reason.

    Really easy.
    Honestly, you're probably not doing as well as you think you are. When you upload parses you either do better or worse than you think, it's pretty rare to guess close to the right percentage. Heck I've had fights where I felt like I did everything perfectly and ended up with a 66, and fights where I just felt like I was plodding along, going through the motions and trying to improvise but not really thinking I did notably well and end up with a 97 or 98.

    You can know your rotation inside and out and think that since you did it perfectly you got a high parse, but that's not always the case.

    Like banning just you perhaps? That would be lovely.

    Ah yes, necro bump the parsing thread. Classic troll bait. Don't feed it.
