So "in the middle of nowhere" suddenly became "very close to the cap point"? Your story changed, do you even know what you're saying?
I fought three Orks underneath one of the complexes on a skirmish map. Not three at once, three consecutively; they waited patiently while I killed their buddy, then the next guy took his place, and then the last guy got me. Like I'd stumbled on some kind of Ork fight club. Weirdest moment of EC for me, by far.
I shoot into melee all the damn time. I'm just careful. Its what you have to do as a LSM to go even vs CSM melee.
It's very very very very easy to shoot into melee and not hit your allies. If you have any kind of AoE, it becomes near impossible. It's not a matter of never shoot into melee or always shoot into melee, it's a matter of learning trigger discipline and shooting smart. Show us your true skill instead of shooting plasma, tempest launcher rockets, etc into melee killing your ally and foe alike. Earlier today I was melee dueling someone, and one of their teams shot into melee combat and I just happened to dodge away from my opponent at that moment and all they ended up doing was nuking their ally with a plasma cannon shot. That right there is a perfect example as to why people need to learn to shoot smart, the shooter was left open and an easy kill for me.
Of course a Zerker would care about this, what else would you expect from someone with Mark of Kannonfodder?
This. THIS. THIS THIS THIS. In saying that i do kinda feel bad for turning my sorcerer into swiss cheese through vigorous use of an autocannon and firing at his melee opponent and..missing. heh.
When I see someone in a melee with the enemy I know if he loses then I'm next on the menu so I simply circle round and end it. I don't have a problem with people assisting me either it's a team game after all
