A completely serious suggestion

Skyhammer and Arty should be given a passive ability that causes them to automatically drop an ammo pack after staying at full ammo pack capacity for 6 seconds. This will ensure newbies and misers will be forced to share their precious, precious ammo packs. More experienced players will also be encouraged to keep up with their active dispensing to ensure they aren’t inadvertently dropping ammo all over enemy territory and leaving a trail of breadcrumbs behind. Please note that this ability would remain active while downed. This would allow clever players to turn foolish enemy Skyhammers and Artys into a temporary ammo dispenser.

I gotta say no. Ammo management is a skill, not something the game does for you. Imagine if in LoL the game would automatically force you to buy items when you had heaps of gold?

And scrubs who don’t hand out ammo are just really stupid and should play the tutorial. Most of them even give themselves ammo, but not others. Really?

As for your trail of breadcrumbs theory, this isn’t a stealth game, dropped ammo packs tell you nothing about the enemy team, as you could just press tab and look at the scoreboard. At worst you just saved them 10 seconds of waiting at that nearby ammo crate.

Sorry, sarcasm doesn’t translate well to text. The title was supposed to indicate that the post is facetious in nature. Basically I’m just complaining that way too many players entirely ignore half their job as a fire support. Implementing my suggestion wouldn’t really be needed or even desired, but I think it would be hilarious.

Ok, apology on my end, sarcasm never translates well unless you use all caps or something.

One can never expect sarcasm to be properly interpreted on the web. Now am I sarcastic or am I not? :wink:
