And that's the bullshit part. No way you should win against a face hugging shielder. It's just snafued game mechanics that allow it to happen now.
Because this should definately be a class based game where the holy trinity of paper>rock>scissors balance is the word and light of god.
Because it means everyone will carry pikes and the game becomes about numbers, not skill.
Who seriously wants to see a game become about numbers instead of skill? Except people without skill... and even most of those are trying to become better. Why SHOULD two people be able to kill one more skilled guy by default? What fun is there in a game that is all about having +1 player on your side? Losing all competitive edge in a game means it loses most of its players.
If those two people kill that one more "skilled" guy by default then perhaps he isn't as fucking skilled as he imagines himself to be in his mind.
BLASPHEMY!
So... Everyone is carrying pikes currently then? Funny, I still see a shit-load of 2hers, polearms, shielders and so many fucking ranged players you'd think this is BF2. Oh, I see quite a fair number of pikes/longspears/long voulges/english bills/swiss halbards lately as well, but no more than anything else when you look at the large picture of the field.
The fact that you really think that being outnumbered causing your loss is "losing all competitive edge" or the game being "ALL about numbers instead of skill" just shows a massively delusional sense of your own skill level. I'm fucking terrible. I have NO problem at all when two or more people gangbang me to death and I wasn't able to utilize chambering and footwork to beat them. I also have no problem with the times that I AM able to use my skill in order to defeat those multiple opponents.
What you're talking about also applies to:
2+ ranged triangulating you
2+ shielders utilizing circling/flanking/chain stuns/opposing strikes on you
2+ 2hers utilizing circling/flanking/chain stuns/opposing strikes on you
2+ polearmers utilizing circling/flanking/chain stuns/opposing strikes on you
2+ cav utilizing circ/flanking/chain bumping you
and any combination in-between.
Fact of life and gaming: Numbers are and SHOULD be a huge advantage and yes it does and SHOULD give two lesser skilled players a leg up on a player they wouldn't be able to kill by themselves. IE: When we all chain stun and butt-fuck goretooth/cyranule/manofwar/etc.
