    OK, this has been bother me for a while and I'm sick of it. Why are ninjas able to recov the flag while they are invisible? Its ridiculous.I grab the flag and I get sniped halfway across the map and my buddy picks it up, they run to spawn and as they are about to pass it back to me, some stupid invisible ninja recovs.
    THIS NEEDS TO STOP!!!
    The ninja is just sitting there invisible not even doing anything about recovering on their own. They need to fix this so that invisible ninjas cant recover because it drives me freaking insane.

    It happens to everyone. You kinda just got to be more careful
    1. Don't pass off and let your buddy keep it
    2. Throw a poison potion down, because it will spread poison if there is a ninja.
    3. Well running drop the flag behind you with the other person there to pick it up

    I know why.
    Because the flag is a banner.
    We never had this problem when flags were wool.

    False, this was a "problem"/feature before banners even existed.

    Ninja being capable of doing this is a means to getting the flag whilst staying stealthed. Without this, passing off would be far easier and would allow people ninja capturing to pass to a bulkier class with little worry.

    Either stop passing off, or make sure that there is no Ninja in the vicinity.

    Listen to the people who said just cap instead of dropping it and letting it get recovered ; )

    A flag lying on the ground is extremely risky and that is totally fine.

    So what if that was changed?
    The ninja would stand at the place on which the flag gets dropped and then goes visible.
    Difference? Ohwell, y'know, 0.1 seconds?
    I guess that'd really change sooo much ^^
    If it was to be implemented in another way with a cooldown or something, wellllll, there goes an unnecessary nerf LOL

    (pickup time of a dropped flag/banner is too short anyway compared to the one with wool, while 'recovering time' stayed the same as far as I noticed.
    somebody confirm please? :'D )

    like @TTD3 said, even if ninjas needed to be visible to pick it up it only requires like an extra 0.1 second. Maybe in some rare cases that will help but when you have the flag you need to be EXTREMELY aware of your surroundings. Yes it is nooby for a ninja to do this and it is very annoying, but there is nothing that we can really do about it :C

    Also, if ninjas were somehow unable to recover while invisible, they can easily just stay invisible next to the flag carrier, and when the carrier drops it, the ninja becomes invisible, stands on the flag to return it, and go invisible again, making the "fix" useless. I did this all the time when I wasn't sure if I was able to return a flag while invisible.

    Edit: Didn't see TTD3's comment. Woops
