Power weapons in BTTE

[mainvity1]

Ok so i'm wondering if you could remove power weps from BTTE? I just went into 3 straight games where they camped the boom shot or torque and destroyed me and my partner, it's really getting annoying because it's happened since the playlist started (at least for me) and besides with 2 people on each team there is no need for power weapons.

I think the general reply you will get here buddy is that you should reach the power weapons first. They are called 'power' weapons after all, so they should be pretty good and worth putting up a fight for.

that might work if they stopped putting me in games with a bot teammate because they always double team me while the bot just walks around like an idiot

other than rustlung every map has multiple power weapons worth getting... they might not be as braindead as boom but that doesn't make them not power weapons. especially with only 2 opponents, a good sniper will KILL a boomshot user/camper... that plus if you count their shots you should know when its safe to go in (or safer at least). Hell, even simple timing + smokes can kill a power weapon user if you get your first gnasher shot off.

getting a guy to chase you into your planted nade, throwing a nade where u see ur team in a gnasher fight, planting a nade at the power weapon, throwing smokes to blow up plants, running far away to a weird corner to snipe, rifle as a team, etc.

Mercy has 3 powers and boltok which with active is a mini sniper, overpass is horrible regardless, gridlock has 3 powers that counter eachother well as does clocktower, azura has pw galore as does bulletmarsh (though lack of frags makes it a little less possible to counter the boom, rustlung has only 1 real one which can't be camped, checkout doesn't have any real strong power weapons is fine, trenches is fairly split up and with digger now under 1 shot its even less of a campable map, sandbar is too big to be a great 2 v2 map...see overpass, thrashball is all about switching which position you have rather than the actual weapons involved, etc etc... other than the maps that are ****ty or too big "camping" power weapons isn't a big deal. Especially considering in btte each team usually gets 1 or the other to start the match and almost never all 3 (while some like azura are impossible to grab all of them).

has more to due with lack of understanding counters to positions on maps than anything else... and sometimes waiting 20 seconds for a different power weapon u know will respawn and allow you to rush their camping is the proper choice.

Power Weapons should definately be kept in, but maybe the ammo could be reduced in them so more shotgun and AR gameplay is encouraged.
