That's already how it goes, isn't it?

However, I've heard it's pretty common to have a scanner logi scan the area that gets boom-boomed to farm a shitload of assists.

Mr. Henchmen, what about a no, brosef.

OB's should be completely removed from pub matches. All it does is help perpetuate the proto stomp problem and drives away new players.

I have a better idea.

First, increase the WP required for a Warbarge Strike. These things should be used as "game changers" as opposed to a win button used to exacerbate stomping. The requirements for one are 2500WP simply because squads used to only have 4 people, and there weren't nearly as many ways to earn WP as we have now.

I do agree with removing the ability to gain WP earned from the Warbarge. The average strike gets about 10 kills, which leads to about 500WP. If you have the squad members repair the leader that squad can earn up to 2250WP from the Guardian action, and when you have everyone scan the area before dropping the Warbarge, the squad can earn 750WP from Intel Kill Assists.

That alone is 3575WP, which can grant a squad yet another Warbarge Strike and still leave them with a spare 1075WP (that's half of the WP required for another Warbarge Strike mind you).

However, I do believe there should be a small reward for using the Warbarge Strike, as you are contributing to the team by using one. I think 100-150WP for Warbarge Deployment would seem fair.

^this, I was going to go do the math but then it was already done for me.

In a decent dom match I can earn an OB solo, without squad orders or using anything resembling teamwork. In a great game, I can earn two solo. If that doesn't demonstrate that it's too low, I don't know what does.

Increase it to 5k WP minimum, I'd be happier with 7.5k. OB kills should not reward WP, that's like cashing in your chips and getting bonus chips just for cashing in.

That's everything I wanted to say just didn't have the numbers to back it up.

That's a fine argument you have there.
