I've got to agree with MexPirate.

Spoony, you always say that the aim of the game is for your team to win. Many players on public servers buy their Arty/MRLS ASAP, then sit in one spot for the entire game. In itself, that isn't bad strategy, so long as the enemy lets them keep doing it... it's just when their team starts losing, they don't change strategy, because they could lose precious ladder. Instead they keep doing exactly the same thing, for as long as possible, so that they will not lose any ladder in the event of a loss, or maintain their high score in the event that their team makes a comeback.

I think it's perfectly fair to criticise the kind of players who seek only to improve their personal standings, regardless of whether it is the best way to ensure a win for the team. The term "point whore" is more often than not used inappropriately, but your piece has completely ignored the original definition.
Even if these people exist, you have no excuse for not killing them so they are obliged to change strategy if they want to keep any hope on keeping their precious ladder.


You can find me in The KOSs2 (TK2) discord while I'm playing. Feel free to come and say hi! TK2 discord
