Well this topic kind of digressed and eventually died cause I don’t think anyone really followed through on any potential rework.
If OT has to stay, can we just remove OT SADARs and claymores? It boggles my mind how “features” like this are allowed to stay when they are just blatantly, objectively bad for the game. Permanently taking people out of the game in one click, or no click for that matter, is bad.
Claymores are especially an issue; I don’t understand what they actually add to the game. They instantly delete people with no warning, and not even the OT or the person who placed it is around to get any form of sick sadistic pleasure out of it. It’s literally just a shit design.
Have you read the OT damage thread?
When they’re not looking for alternatives to bug abuse, OT players are literally just minmaxing the most efficient ways to instantly take everything out of a round. Claymores will one-shot runners, lurkers, defenders, warriors, spitters, sentinels, boilers and praetorians if made right. I’ve been gibbed from full HP by claymores as all of these castes.
Judging from all the cope about how a queen screech can “take you out of the round in one click” (which it can’t, at least that requires the teamwork of a hive to drag you away or kill you), how is anyone able to argue this adds anything of substance to the game?
tldr; it’s bad for the game, should be removed.
