AoE abilities shouldn't interrupt players interacting with objectives.

I've posted this before and I'm posting it again.

Spamable AoE abilities (*cough* Living Storm *cough*) shouldn't prevent players from interacting with objectives in PvP, regardless of if you're capping a flag on codex, turning in a stone on Karthan or attempting to pick up a stone on Whitefall. (This is coming from someone who does it. It's allowed me to carry certain games and it's a very cheap strategy.)

Being able to spam AoE all over an objective makes for poor gameplay as it literally allows a single person to find a spot where they are almost untouchable to the enemy team's line of fire and just spam abilities that prevent objective interaction.

I have zero issues with single target abilities still interrupting captures. In-fact that's a good thing as it promotes people to focus fire down targets who are carrying or going for objectives.

Implementing this would help speed up the gameplay in Warfronts and lower the chance of ties on particular maps.

Let's block ads! (Why?)
