Why do Skyhammers waste their airstrike after they spawn?

(ImSploosh) #1

Ever notice how so many people playing Skyhammers throw their airstrike right after they spawn? They waste it entirely. I noticed this is especially true in Execution, but I see it in Objective a lot as well. Normally in Objective, it’s just after the first spawn they do it, but sometimes it’s every time they have it available and spawn.

I’m just curious because there are cases when it can be really useful and those Skyhammers just don’t have it, costing my team the game (doubt they’d listen anyways, but gotta have hope)! :wink:

Because idiots, that’s why.

Fat fingers? Sometimes when I play I blank on what key I’m pressing and throw a molotov down instead of my ammo station. Maybe they haven’t committed the keys to muscle memory and are messing up the quick key ability.

Either they are noobs, accidental press, idiots, retards, trolls or all of these listed combined.

misclick… or, they could be flushing spawn campers or they might have bound the key to LMB

This is me way too often. I main Aura, and trying to put down an ammo station as Stroker or Kira always messes me up. I wish certain stuff could just use the same keys, like all deployables would be Q, all throwables and other stuff would be E, etc.

Also, yeah quick abilities. That’s why I never use quick ability, because mistakes like this can easily happen.

throws down marker

XP farming? Not that throwing the airstike marker grants that much - especially when a well placed marker could earn you so much more - but still…

why do medics walk over you when you are down? why do engi’s not repair the obj ore defuse? why are 2 engies, a skyhammer, a vassili and an aura repairing the ev at the same time? why do skyhammers not throw ammo when i have been knifing them for the last minute?

I have a friend, a guy who has won leagues and big tournaments in the past, who will randomly throw grenades in almost every game he plays. Which includes Skyhammer’s airstrike. I can’t get him to stop. He just loves the 1 in 100 chance that it will kill somebody and gets super hyped up when it even damages somebody. He will sometimes randomly Ult in games that have Ult’s.

Seriously…every single game he does this and I hate it. I’d wager there are a lot of people with that kind of mentality where they do it for the giggles as opposed to what is most effective. And the game defaulting to quick abilities doesn’t help.

tis different than throwing marker at spawn.

(Tanker_Ray) #17

As far as I can be accurate, it’s because they think airstrike markers are normal grenades just like in other FPS games.

Those noobhammers act pretty normal at Underground 2nd phase, because simply airstrike never activates, but really does act like normal grenades.

I’ll quote myself.

“I have a friend, a guy who has won leagues and big tournaments in the past, who will randomly throw grenades in almost every game he plays. Which includes Skyhammer’s airstrike.”

He throws it at spawn, in spawn…doesn’t matter. Just feels like throwing it. This is the second post in a row of yours I’ve read like this that is a really weird nitpick of something I wrote.

you’ve said it earlier

“I have a friend, a guy who has won leagues and big tournaments in the past, who will randomly throw grenades in almost every game he plays. Which includes Skyhammer’s airstrike.”

not

“He throws it at spawn”

because what i was talking about is those people who threw it at spawn, thinking grenade would be useless.

now “This” friend of yours i believe are not stupid. I believe he throws it just for fun, He just loves the 1 in 100 chance that it will kill somebody and gets super hyped up when it even damages somebody.

and no i dont believe it when you said he threw it on the spawn.
ive met stupid talented people but even stupid talented people wont have fun with throwing marker after he got spawned because it doesnt fit your own description of “this” guy who won league.

i do it too, i throw airstrike marker at some places and try to experiment, but i dont throw it after i got spawn just for the giggles watching it explode. Its not even funny.

but it is funny if you throw it at places out of bounds and have 1 in 100 chance that it will kill somebody

and no @Amerika i dont have any grudge against you, i was probably just not in a good mood back then and probably said some things that you dont like.

From the little info I got, i think Amerika’s friend might be an adrenaline style player. Sound like they love the thrill provided by throwing grenades. Maybe a lot of other players are like that as well. Just something I thought of right now. :slight_smile:
