Every game developer wants their game to become an eSport. People who want this game to have longevity want the game to become an eSport. Hell, the game doesn't even need to be an esport; people will play it competitively anyway. How can people expect to play a game competitively, however, when an ability like ram exists in which the tide of a game can be turned completely without any skill input what so ever?
And you base that assumption on what?
Because relic specifically said they do NOT aim at esport. Still want to prove that you know better then relic?
The outcome of a PFaust or an ATnade will rarely influence the outcome of a game anywhere near as much as Ram. With ram, you could potentially be knocking out an extremely expensive piece of armor your enemy has saved up for for a good 10 minutes or so whereas with a PFaust or ATnade, you're, at the most, simply delaying it.
I don't know what mines have to do with anything. Placement of a mine is completely skill based. :/ RNG doesn't randomly put mines on the map for you.
What? I don't even need to counterargument that, thats how silly it is.
And yeaaaa, ohh that mine skill, I need to be a pro to place a mine in a narrow way, before 3 digit ladder position I couldn't even find a mine button....
