Subject: Get rid of Long Plasma!!!!!

I would be all for it, IF and Only if you gave spinup back to the defense, or weakened them in some way. Think about it, without long Pbombs in the game maps like 0fear would end up being about 2 - 1 Final score.

Frankly against a GOOD defense the ONLY thing that can be done is to use all your Offense force and get a Long pbomb in there on ANY defense heavy map (0fear, elevate, Cancer, 2strong2). Now what happens when you TAKE the long plasmabomb away ??? The offense truly gets fucked. I know this because RAJEEV in a scrim one time defused EVERY long we had (100% success rate), and we were pretty screwed because on a map like 0fear the SENTRY owns that FR, unless you can move in and out EXTREMELY fast, and against good gunners your not gonna be able to do that =/.

The Long PB basically counters the sentry which is the ONLY thing that really can. I have yet to face a 3 gunner defense this version, because it's not practical. I can pretty much tell EVERY match i play, theres gonna be a sentry. Then that makes us RUN a borg because grappling around 50 ping gunners, and the sent is just not FEASIble (on most maps)educes wfa to redundancy =(. So while everyone is complaining about LONG pbomb's i just wanted to tell them to STFU. Without longs we end up going back a Version to 1 - 1 GAMES =(.

Of course the map also helps in deciding the gameplay too =/.
