Anybody Else Feel that Martyrdom is Broken?

I have only died to martyrdom once recently, I was on auto pilot and went for a melee finish on a downed nader. I immediately types how dumb I was in chat and me and the nader had a good laugh about it…

No it’s easy to avoid. Even if they activate it you can long jump away and survive. Only inexperienced players fall for it.

It’s fine, it’s annoying but it’s fine, it’s not more annoying than being oneshot by fragger’s nades imo. It requires you to die too.

Nader strikes me as an Area-denial merc, so martyrdom fits her role perfectly. Her grenade launcher is not that dangerous, it’s more annoying since it forces you to either back away, or try and dodge them all. Basically, she denies you access to that area (say a corner, or a small room) until she runs out of grenades. And, when she dies, she again denies you access to anything that’s behind her, since she will blow you up unless you finish her off first.

TL;DR: Martyrdom is annoying, but it does it’s job, and it fits the role of Nader.
