Oh no I’m not talking about the thread itself, I can appreciate people making guides and things to help other players learn roles. I’m opposed to some of the fundamental mechanics of the role, as well as some OT players in that thread who proudly gloat about blatant bug abuse, or finding alternatives to it. Referring more to comments like this as an example:
I know it was probably just a joke, but like cmon. This mentality, and the acknowledgement that the role can intentionally inflict the same amount of damage on players as an obvious bug that has yet to be fixed, is not good for the game.
This doesn’t change the fact the mechanics of the actual things OT produces currently are blatantly unbalanced, all this does is delay the amount of time players have to be subjected to the imbalance.
If burrower traps instagibbed marines, there would probably be a lot of outrage. OT claymores are the equivalent to that, the difference is xeno players are in the minority of the community so most people don’t care. You probably don’t wanna be instagibbed for stepping in a bush, whether it’s at 00:30 or 1:20.
