xeno hate rant #32912

[BasilHerb]

hmmm yes today I will play CM
hop on xeno
play sentinel cause boiler instant-kill globs are funny
queen refuses to give you jelly to evo and forces you to babysit caps for the entire round
play Simon says with multiple marines who spam resist and you’re forced to reset their timers constantly until they burst
fall asleep for 5 seconds because babysitting caps is boring as fuck
some unga breaks free and immediately blows up the hive with grenades while massacring several larva
you stun and re-nest him but now the entire hive hates you and sends you death threats for not doing your ‘job’
complain on the forums because marines resisting is a stupid shitty mechanic which needs to go because there’s no reason why you should come back home to play your favourite game just to be sentenced to 1 hour of mindlessly staring at caps in hive by the queen simply because people feel entitled to be able to wipe out half the hive AFTER being capped
resisting from nests is finally removed, everyone celebrates because no one liked that awful mechanic

open forums
someone has an incredible idea to re-enable marines resisting out of nests

Nesting isn’t even the round remover that it seems to be painted as anyway. Legit just wait 5 minutes and you are guaranteed a xeno slot over everyone else.

so a long time ago, drone gameplay was based around guarding cap’s because marines could resist out; drones had to constantly sit in hive tripping people on walls or renesting people who got free; often times someone would get free and throw a frag like an m15 or try and c4 queen or shit like that; we stopped doing that because it made drones essentially spend their entire round babysitting caps.

It’s amazing how many people don’t play both sides.

I must confess my greatest crime as a Marine Main and proud Deltard. One unfortunate night while inebriated I rolled face hugger. Those .05 or less hours of Xeno play time are a stain on my flawless record. If I could bribe a manager and or admin to remove those hours I would without remorse or hesitation.

I can only hope @Cassie451 can find it in her heart to forgive me.
