Still think it should just be turned off a couple times a week, unannounced.
Although it is rare, it happened again last night to me in MA.
twice.
Both times I was within 300yds of my intended victim only to have someone fly through my steam of bb's.
Poor SA? you bet it is, but not on my part. Both times I knew where the friendlies were, and both times I was unable to react. It happens that fast.
This means at least three possible reasons.
1. Poor SA on the part of the guy flying through the stream
2. Kill stealing ( intentionally killshooting you in order to take the kill you set up and worked for)
3. Having no clue there is such a thing as killshooter.
So, how often does Killshooter really affect each of us?
Has happened to me 3 times in the last 2 weeks, and prior to that....? (can't remember, it is pretty rare).
Now, it is entirely possible that the perceived increase in killshooter incidents are related to a fairly large influx of new people to the arena, and will settle down in short order.
But....given the fact that it is a rare event, why have it?
Turn it off...at least a couple of times a week (although I would really like to see it disappear).
