Well the whole "it's in the game" argument isn't exactly relevant in what I'm saying. Me personally, I would rather have a knife only guy on the enemy team because well you know, the "don't bring knife to the gunfight" argument. I WOULD NOT want a knife only guy on my team. I would rather have a camper on my team.
An average knifer is going 15-15 or so at best. Usually the go 8-20 then rage quit and blame people camping, OP weapons or lag as a reason as opposed to the fact THEY ARE USING A DAMN KNIFE ONLY. So whether it's stupidity, boredom or bravery doesn't really matter to me.
As far as it taking more "skill" thats almost like saying hitting a half court shot takes more skill than a layup. Something being more difficult doesn't inherently make it more skillful.
If you knife only that is ok. I personally try to play with 3-4 others so I can avoid knifers, quick scopers and most shotgun guys on my team. That way I have rushers and if the game gets tough they will help us win. To each it's own I suppose.
