I’m actually kind of interested to see what will happen if this gets re-implemented.
On one hand, it will prolong fights, I still think newbies will get flushed out fast since trading mid fight requires some level of focus/patience that would be a window for a vet to kill a newbie. This also flushes out bots from whoever’s feeding which ends with 1 person being dry. (Since justin said it would be mitigated to the point where only snubs could feed other snubs. This also would allow for new group fight techniques aside from the classic “all target one”. For instance, in order to prevent feeding in say - “a 5v5” every person one one side would focus his own target on the other. That way bots are being drained from everyone at an equal rate. Of course this assumes everyone’s capable of doing as such, but it’d still be interesting. This method would also rule out restocking.
I personally dont care what happens that much. The current system just demands I dodge for 30 minutes in every fight I join. This would either allow me to shoot, or just allow me to dodge for an extra 30 minutes.
