I think sniping is for gimps.

Lately, I've been squadding up and realized that a LOT of children play Dust 514, and a LOT of adolescents and adults simply don't have the skills to compete on the battlefield so they choose sniping.

My plea to you: If you're going to troll snipers, please troll the enemy snipers, not friendlies.

But still, what you did is awesome!

What does children VS adults have to do with competing on the field If I may ask?

Children may not have any depth of insight into the game, such as the constraints of team resources during battle. They may play from an entirely subjective perspective without an objective overview of what is happening on the field and how they may best contribute to a victory. There is nothing wrong with playing for fun and getting what you want out of the game without regard to anyone else's welfare. The battlefield is punishing enough. If judge wants to punish them further for their actions that is a corrective action made under a set of morals which those subject to it may not share. In other words, anybody can do whatever the hell they want. There is no established code of conduct.

That said, Judge can do whatever the hell he wants, hence my plea, derived from strategic insight not to waste other team members' time, despite how insignificant their contribution may look to me.

I'd also point out that in the first part of the video, where the OP's piloting the Incubus, his team was up 15 kills over the reds and their MCC had slightly more shields--in other words, a fairly even match up to the point the video cut to the Python footage. By the end of the Python footage, OP's team was up 76 kills and their MCC had almost all its shields while the enemy's had three or four ticks of armor left--in other words, a stomp. In the first case, with the Incubus, it was probably a good idea that those 5 were hanging out on the tower, since if they were on the ground, they'd likely be dying fast, increasing the odds of cloning the blue team (only 111 clones left at about 1/2 shields--definitely a possibility). I infer this because, watching the kill feed, I noticed the red team scored 9 sniper kills (5 went to I Brutos, using an advanced SR) while only three went to the blue team (and one of those was a Thales ). Clearly the blue snipers were not very good, especially considering that sniping the bridge from that tower in a dom is one of the easiest places to rack up SR kills, assuming you're not being harassed (usually by a red DS). I don't have any problem with people playing the way they want to and trolling their own team, but it would've only taken the OP a second to clean up those red snipers he was complaining about himself. In the second case, I didn't see any groups of blueberry snipers, so I'm not sure of the point of that footage. I don't see much of an issue with blues (likely either noobs or terribads) tower camping in an attempt not to die and maybe get a couple kills. I can relate to being a no/low-SP scrub and recall what it was like to feel relegated to ineffective sniping. And again, I don't really care that the OP was trolling his own team, but there's no need to sound preachy about it or ask the community, "who's the d!ck?" Doing so makes the choice a lot easier, if you catch my drift.
