Why make a suggestion when you are not open to opinions?
I believe this is a mistake, and I am
suggesting you don't make it. Just because I am disputing opinions doesn't mean I'm not open to hearing them.
Removing crits on warden lock discourages guards from sitting on blue for the sole purpose of racking up massive kill streaks.
As I said to Comet, we can amend the rules to address people misusing lgka. Most blues do not intend to claim it, it is often forced upon them by rebels.
The point of jailbreak is to play jailbreak.
Correct, but how does that justify effectively giving reds the round if warden locks? This change removes crits from blues when they need it the most: on forced freedays, when reds can not only do whatever they wish, but also get to attack first.
Not a psuedo 1v15 Saxton Hale game mode.
I mean it's not like the guards asked you to kill them. These situations only happen when reds disregard the wardens orders and overwhelm blue team, in this "worst case" scenario it makes little sense to deprive blue team of their main advantage.
Now, people will actually be encouraged to protect the warden or go Warden themselves to salvage a round rather than running for the hills the second he dies.
That just leads to death for the blue team most of the time. It's not like they're hanging the warden out to dry, they did what they could to protect him but sometimes it isn't enough. As for running for the hills when the warden dies, that's a smart play. Reds often swarm outward once warden is killed, and since they can attack first, sticking around can be suicide if control can't be reestablished.
The point is you get to keep crits and try to give compliant reds lr. That's one of the core goals of this game mode, is it not?
That can't happen if all the guards are dead, can it?
I say again: if people are having problems with blues leaning too hard on lgka, boundaries can be set regarding when it can be used. How is making it nonviable an alternative to that, especially since blues are forced to wait for warden to lock before they can claim it?
