[QUOTE=tokamak;515506]Imagine doc runs in Overwatch. Where whole teams need to readjust to the type of runner they’re facing. It matters a lot whether the runner can teleport, time-travel, parkour, go invulnerable, has a friggin grappling hook and countless other options.
Dealing with that is going to take ingenuity, communication and a ton of teamwork.[/QUOTE]
It depends how it’s done. Scouts made natural runners in TF2, but flag running, even in matches, never got anywhere near approaching the levels of excitement of doc runs in RTCW and ET. Being able to spint, teleport etc is only exciting (for me anyways) when everyone, allies and foes alike, can do the same. When they’re hot on your tail, gunning down on you as you belt it out of there with your team. I suppose it comes down to what you want. You might find it fun to pick that static, turret guy and block a key area to stop the opposing team’s runner. That does literally nothing for me.

This pretty much sums up my thoughts on disparate hp, speed etc in general. I know some people get a hardon for characters that fill a certain niche. For me that just means that when you’re playing that merc you have access to a fraction of what’s fun in an fps. Look at RTCW. In the space of each and every life you could run the entire gamut of what’s fun in an fps with any of the classes - from tanking, aggressive play at full health, to sneaking around and being cagey when damaged (something hp regen completely fubars), to crazy all out speed runs when carrying/chasing the docs. Being shoe horned into a specific way of playing (which is what the merc system does) just doesn’t interest me.

agreed but like spook said maps would need to be re-done.
Sounds good to me though as the current doc runs are abysmal, bridge has you run about 20 paces back towards your spawn often with no opposition, so tense so exciting >_>

[QUOTE=PixelTwitch;515527]I just wish every single doc run followed this kinda design…

this is basically how it is supposed to be done!
