I was off for the holidays, and i come back to this massive GL spam-fest... In the past 3 days 2 things have been constant. 1st no one will alien com. 2nd, when the first fade goes up instead of seeing SG hit the field I see waves of GL's spamming everywhere. Now I lol'd at first at the sillyness but after taking a couple of random GL's to the face i realized that in the hands of a 6-35 a SG is worthless and they might as well fire blindly with something that does splash. Personally I dont blame them, but I cant stand the game play. Its completely skill-less and does not allow for the player to develop skill (aside from learning a bit of geometry)
To this end, I have mixed feelings about it. Is it a real problem? should it be fixed? if so how? When I use Gl its usually in combo with a JP, and another marine who are trying to snip a hive before they react. This structure attack feels like its intended goal. So the only thing i could see changing is its damage vs players being reduced.
I cant really think of any drastic problem from reducing GL damage to players... aside from not killing that gorge in his fort (but who would want that)...
