and your saying that the amarr can make sidearms that shot lasers strong enough to scramble a mans brain through thick armor and shield but can't make an orb that molds multiple lasers into a sphere shape x meters around it that burns anything that comes into its space. if you ask me thats just absurd |

I didn't cite any specific examples of how said laser shotguns would work, splitters is viable albeit still incredibly daft IMHO, the ones I'm talking down about involved a prism (instead of splitters) that diffuse a single beam into a cone - not multiple lasers arrayed in a cone, just a cone.
But plain and simple the idea of LASER EVERYTHING is daft, it encompasses none of the diversity that the race actually has and provides nothing different in terms of gameplay than what we already have other than different dials on the side of the shotgun.

My fellow MAG raven! Hello! And to be honest, what stops people from spamming grenades in general? Fun factor. Back in 1.6 ambush, the grenade spam was common. I didn't have many problems with it, because I'd just just throw another grenade back at him... of course, it wouldn't do anything because I normally run AV grenades av grenades trick me everytime making me look dumb running from something that won't hurt me
You never know if its av or a laggy grenade with a messed up fuse. Still not as bad as running away from a scout throwing uplinks down because you think hes spamming REs . Happened to me the other night when I was drunk lmfao
I'm too drunk to taste this chicken
