Fixing Armor Lock abuse

I'm sure we've all seen it for the most part, abusing armor locks very powerful abilities, which usually includes simply tapping the ability on/off button. I understand, this is supposed to be that way, but in a way it ruins a lot of gameplay, got stuck? armor lock, wait for explosion, get stuck again, no prob just tap it again and wait it out. Furthermore, being able to see surroundings and instantly turn to face any adversary in a 360 degree radius is also being abused. To top it all off, the EMP included with the ability pretty much gives you a one hit beat down. Solution: Armor lock is just that, LOCKED ARMOR, there should be no possible way to see anything that isn't already in your field of view, locking the screen to the last known field of view would be a simple and effective solution. As for the on/off part, I'll use the same stance I took with the last solution. Armor Lock should BE locked until either it's been completely used up, or you decide to turn it off. SO if you activate it, then disable it, the ability is used up until meh, 1/4 charge? _____________________________________________________________ __ I made this thread, because from what I've done while using the class, and fighting people who constantly use it, there seems to be very little to no risk compared to the reward. Jet Pack- go high, you're open to anyone with a gun Sprint- you can go fast, but can be a bit hard to control, and add that it really isn't that much of a lethal ability. Camo- What can I say that hasn't already been said, you get detected then you're detected, after that there's not much you can do but to fight your way out. Running with camo essentially makes you a target thats slightly harder to hit with your first shot. Armor- 360 degree view, invulnerability, knock back, EMP, and repelling of attached explosions. Should you feel differently, post what you think, if you agree or have something to add, feel free to post.

  • @ Lanky Yea, and in my book that is COMPLETELY fair, and fairly effective. It's been used against me for good measure, they AL I take a few flags out and then the frags start pouring in, and my pals have done the same, and I swooped in for some free assassinations. And thats fine, and yea, the main issue I have with it (Or at least the way people use it) is how I've seen it utilized. More or less, I feel I would have no reason to bring up the issue even if these problems were present or worse even if they hadn't shown up in many of the games I play.
