Theres no real punishment for FF trolling

I hate it when someone hunts you specifically, or just your team (while they are on YOUR team). Sure you can constantly /p them but obviously they wont care about exp

And killing them to prevent them still punishes you, we need a better way

And youd be surprised how useless the kick function is

Don’t play in FF servers.

Problem solved.

What if i want to play in ff servers sometimes, or in ranked, problem not solved

Nobody likes punishment or rules in today’s world. There’s always some sob story excuse. I agree though, I think there should be punishments dealt for consecutive offenses. 3 team kills could result in a 30-minute ban from that server.

If you WANT to play on F servers, then either deal with, the occasional greifer or don’t give cause for being TK’ d.

The only non-comp servers running FF are community servers. Comp servers shouldn’t even be part of the argument. No chance at an auto ban for tking as kill/rez is a valid gameplay tactic.

Report them via support ticket and provide evidence if possible, should be enough to get them banned from the faceit system at least.

I really played a lot of FF on community servers so I haven’t seen it myself, but assuming there are still vote kicks for automatic team killing like it was in ranked, here’s an idea:

I’ve heard this tossed around before, but why not change the vote to kick this player into vote not to kick this player? It’s pretty common to have teammates on pubs who just don’t even look at votes, so something like this would help get around the players who just don’t vote at all. 3 or so team kills in quick succession, or 3 or 4 kills on the same teammate would be a good time to call that vote.

Although as @ThePigVomit said, killing a low HP teammate and reviving them is a great strategy, so it might be better to only count /p rather than just teamkills.

When on community servers there will usually be an admin on let them know and they can kick/ban the nuisance player!

I think if you punish them too many times, they end being automatically kicked from the server. Yet that still doesn’t solve the problem of people intentionally shooting you without killing you, so I’d suggest to actually being able to punish someone the moment they do a certain damage on you (50 ish ?), then you can punish them (Don’t forget that sometimes, it’s really just friendly fire by all means, you’re just in the middle of fight and someone shot you, not intentionally, so punishing them just for minor damage is not fair).

i’ve heard of people jumping into friendly molotovs so they could punish the stoker that threw them for “teamkilling”


(PariahDog) #11

FF is only available in community servers so this an admin problem.


(HadronZodiac) #12

I agree, so it should be based on (% of health) x times killed / time? idk

but griefing is cancer

I think there should be less of a punishment for abilities that cant be controlled after it is used (such as fire, airstrikes, etc). Cuz yeah sometimes teammates take advantage of it or are just stupid


(Press E) #13

That would end up excusing people who kill low HP teammates too. Realistically there’s no ideal solution, but better to just keep it based on p/.
Although I would like to see p/ simplified. Rather than typing it into chat, we should be able to press something like f5 and f6 or whatever.

Problem with that is that it would mean intentionally throwing a molotov onto a group of teammates or even a single one would be less punishable, which obviously isn’t great


(HadronZodiac) #14

Agreed, yeah there is no real great solution, maybe basing it on the movements of the teammate before being affected by the ability. So if the game recognizes the teammate moved a certain amount before coming into contact with the fire, or moved a certain amount close enough to the airstrike - You arent punished as much?
