Ninja capping: an apologia

He "doesn't want to" (which is why he tries vs me ingame and dies) ok.

Um, I agree offense should be hard and I think it's absolutely ok buffing defense back (ninja's sharpness <3), but yea. Ninja capping is just needed atm versus some defenses.

Also, I'll reply anyway @PanDaniel_

Spoiler

Part one concerning mandatory match rules: obviously, in a match, defense will be much more aware anyway, by far compensating for that dwarf. The role a dwarf has in regular gameplay (immediately guarding the flagpost) is taken over by another class in matches. The function or role remains. Your point, poof, gone?

Point two about medics: if you have a medic as ninja capper, the point remains the same: ninja recovery has more health at its disposal to reach the medic, can still easily kill the ninja due to the fact the class with the most damage is hitting the class with the least armor and has invisibility to not be hit by the medic. Even if the ninja does get a heal at the middle of the map, a ninja recovery might be waiting at the other flagroom already. We can't calculate all the factors obviously, I'm pointing out the major ones. The medic point can be argued for any other class too though, isn't chemist for example ridiculously OP if you consider he could get a heal and has another five health potions?

Routes to make archers no problem? I'd like an example for that one. It is not easy to avoid midfield, and even if so, it requires knowledge of the game.

Distraction isn't cheap, distraction is teamwork and you can't say teamwork is cheap, sorry.

It isn't counted as respawn abusing in matches if you die with the flag in front of your spawn.

It is not cheap to use ninja caps versus a defense that isn't breakable otherwise, no. Ninja capping then especially, but not limited to this, is legitimized. So yes, you are wrong there!

I am not calling soldier capping or heavy capping cheap in the same breath as I am calling ninja capping not cheap. I am just saying ninja capping also needs skill.

Glitches =/= mechanics

Quantity of defense > quantity of offense

Not and, or. First of all. Second, it is not by default the case I have a medic while ninja capping. Obviously you believe I do because the only times you see me ninja capping is when you're around...

No, you look at my point.

You just completely ignored my main part in your comment concerning the conclusion. I told you it is not instantly a cap after you got out of defense. Don't argue conclusions if you can't back it up with a main part.

If you want a decent reply that actually provides an overview, please give me something I can quote and don't put comments into my quote.
