Best DART Debaters- Ranked

No offense if you didn't make the list, I either forgot about you, or you were good but not as good as these legends.

1. billbatard

Yup, he's the best.

(actually) 1. Ragnar

As he does not have that many debates on DART, I would look at his DDO profile to see his good debates. Even oromagi states that Ragnar is probably the best debater on this site:

2. Blamonkey

He's really good at providing unique points that are both logical and true. Most of his debates are quality, and his live debates are fun to watch as well.

3.Whiteflame

He's definitely one of the best debaters on this site. The only debate he lost was considered the best debate on this site.

4.oromagi/RM

oromagi-He noob snipes a lot, but when he actually debates he's pretty good. For example:

Another example: 

Final one: 

RM- A lot like oromagi, as sometimes he's good and sometimes he forfeits. He's good at rap too. Example:

5. Trent0405

He's good at making short and precise arguments that get right to the point.

6. fauxlaw

7. Semperfortis

8.Virtuoso

9.christopher_best

10.Speedrace

good list except semper is 100% better than Trent, no offense

But Trent is far more active

yeah and thats not the point of your title nor thread

I think this will help me with my debate. I am far from the best but this is a reliable source as human interpretation is better than numbers when it comes to qualitative evidence. 

You'd probably be most improved. You can see the growth in your debates. Here's one of your first:

Here's one of your recent ones that I thoroughly enjoyed reading: 

The growth is clear.

I just realized why Alec and RM said to do more research, because I act like Hitler in the later debate: Is probably more skillful but is already at a disadvantage. I have to find exploits because I had found sources that suggest hot dogs are indeed sandwiches. However, I didn't concede and did the best I can. 

I think I'm a little over rated.

Ranking based on what? Each is a specialist in something. Ragnar, Ramshutu and Oromagi are nearly identical because they both specialise in taking the popular, boring side of a debate and representing it by firmly asserting norm ideas backed up by well-renowned, popular sources. This is how they win so consistently. The second element of what they do is baiting out or latching onto opponents who are particularly angry, dumb or lazy based on outside factors of estimation.

Ragnar and Ramshutu do actively address what the opponent brings up whereas Oromagi keeps building his points and punishes the opponent for not rebuking him sufficiently, rather than working too hard at rebuttals.

What ranking would I be?

You would probably be about 15-20th place.

I can't be the worst debater on the entire site, can I? Man the ELO is getting less accurate as time goes consider more noobs=more noob snipes and who benefits doesn't need to qualify to be good.  

You are very kind, but the site ranks me lower. I've never debated Ragnar, but reading some of his debates, I think your rating is good. I've debated Bla, and I agree with your assessment. I've also debated Oromagi and he trounced me in a debate I thought was a winner, but he smoked me for the worst of reasons: outplayed my word play. Yeah, IU think you've ranked him right as well. Our current debate is a good one; I'm really enjoying it. Never debated whiteflame, but reading his debates is a good exercise, as well. I look forward to the opportunity.

I, too, see your growth. Well done in such a short time. Be relentless.

Thanks! ... FYI, I'm effectively retired at this point. I mostly just try to help others now.

He is way better than I am. When he came onto the scene I was already a dinosaur, but I learned so much from reading his debates.
