You can push trough QL rockets as they are not nearly as powerful as QW ones. And yes its boring when Rapha does it, but QL works differently so spamming is not as prevalent as in QW. just look at dm6 duels in QW, half the mach is spamming the teleport. QW is legendary and its still a great game, but Q3 is so superior to it its not even funny.
Face the facts man. In a game where rocket splash does 120 dmg, rocket knockback is insane and there is no other effective long range weapon (projectile or hitscan), the meta will naturally develop into a rocket spam fest. Its just how the game works, its not like you are gonna use sg or nail gun to shot someone or an area 1500 units away.
I can debate further about different mechanics which make q3 better or more balanced than qw, but Im not interested in e-penis measuring contest
I would love to see this honestly. Quad damage was such as interesting format in 2007. I am looking a bit more forward to Doom for something fresh to see how that ends up turning out. TDM maybe?
