Please, can we change the rules on Downed State players counting as TK's? I'm trying to take a liking to Tempest Launcher and, granted a few bad shots here and there legitimately, most of the "TK"'s I got tonight were killing a downed teammate after they lost a fight to someone. If you see someone lose and the enemy is still alive...you're going to kill them right? Well..I can't really do that anymore with this gun because the splash is almost always going to hit the downed player. It's obnoxious and I don't particularly like being kicked for not actually being that reckless or dickish of a player.

Can we please changed Downed State players to not counting for TK's? This isn't just for Tempest, many weapons trigger it and many players can accidentally kill a downed player since they have so few HP anyway.

i kinda agree. ive done similar with a bolter because i know the guys not going to get ressed and theres no way i can res while the enemys alive so i start shooting, and in a downed state only one or two bolts has to go amiss to TK him, especialy if he is holding space.

since playing on LSM means getting shot by team mates trying to kill steal you i'd say kick them and perma ban acc after 2 tk in 1 match ..
BE GONE!!

I can completely agree to this. So often fights happen where downed bodies are in the way and its either "let the enemy live or shoot into the downed ally" and it happens often enough to be an issue.

I agree. Downed team mates counting as a TK isn't cool.

The choice can and very often does easily come down to:

1. Not shoot the baddie and YOU die
2. Shoot and kill a baddie while unavoidably finishing off a downed team mate with your weapon.

Often a situation in game arises where you can't roll, evade or retreat. You're getting shot or being charged(by melee opponent). You're stuck in a situation when you must either take an offensive action "right now!" or you're dead, with no other options. You fire, the baddie is killed but unfortunately so is your downed team mate.

edit: misunderstood you, still don't think its needed.

Don't mind then not counting towards TK but there ability to block someone moving in melee needs removing (you'd just tread on the poor bastard after all) as well since at the moment some downed players will move out of the way to give a clear shot (which also stops them impending your forward charge if your melee) but others just stand in front of you which means that it blocks a melee enemy from engaging you and it stops you from engaging them/staying amongst a pack of ranged

Downed TK's only count as half a TK tho, it's something.

I agree with this.

Using Rokkit Launchers and Kannons, If I see my ally in melee with an enemy and he gets downed, im going to blast them both..... well, ill probably blast 'em both while hes still alive and fighting, hey better safe then sorry, we know how crappy Ork melee is. XD
