Skill Over Grimoire or Grimoire Over Skill
OK, so I had this argument with one of my friends friend. He was saying he was better than me in skill. I said, he can't even solo Crota or even a Nightfall! And his grimoire is sh*tty! He replied saying that grimoire doesn't mean anything! I reply as saying yes it does, it matches you up with people around the same grimoire. People with higher grimoire have "more skill" and people with lower grimoire have "less skill". I have higher grimoire than many but most of my friends have more than mine: 3175, the people around there have "high" skill. The grimoire at 3000+ tend to be the best players, the people below 2000 tend to be the worst players. This is just my speculation. But I say Grimoire is over skill. But he says Skill over grimoire. What do you [i]prefer[/i]?

You're comparing apples and oranges. The two things are mutually exclusive and a low grimoire player can have high skill or low skill just as much as a high grimoire player can have either. Problem is grimoire is a objective measurement (ie, something you can see and quantify) whereas skill is a subjective measurement (there is no numerical measure... It's best guess or interpretation). It is true that higher grimoire "usually" means more skill cuz just like most things, the more you practice/play the better you are but there will always be freaks out there that are particularly talented but haven't been around long. Skill > Grimoire (and so you don't think I'm a biased noob, my grimoire is 3620) but sadly no way to measure skill really other than playing and seeing so grimoire serves as a relatively decent substitute.
