Flanking in Crucible Is a Cheap Tactic and Unfair

Flanking is a cheap way on getting a kill because you spent 10 minutes crouch walking. It takes little to no skill at all and players only do it because they can't win face to face fights with anyone. Players with high back shots should be get reduced skill level. I mean come on, Its so easy to kill people by shooting them in the back. They get no chance at all and most of the time if it was face to face the person flanking would lose. Flankers resort to this cheap tactic for that lack of skill. There is no other reason for doing so. Its ludicrous how people exploit game mechanics of not being able to see behind you. Fps developers for years have been trying to counter this with footsteps, mini maps, etc. but people still abuse it. It is just sick how people with such low skill level get free kills for this cheap tactic. I'm hoping some type of system comes in to balance it. Such as banning players who do so, or extra armor for the back of Guardians.

  • Flanking is completely fair it shows good map awareness and purple who don't notice a flanker have zero nap awareness

  • I hear ya! They should also add a pillow-fight mode, so we all can work out our frustrations. Those cheap pillows would be rare, the fluffy hotel style ones would be legendary, and those ultra soft body pillows would be exotic. We'd capture a point by jumping on the mattress at A, B, or C, while duking it out with enemy teams. Pillows people, it's what we need!

    • Are you actually being serious right now? Using cover is cheating! Hitting headshots is cheating! Guns are cheap! So to clarify, we should all go old west style. Walk away, have a countdown (all enemies must be in party chat) and shoot each other at 0. If this isn't satire or bait, eff off. If it is, congrats I fell for it.

        If it's easy to kill people why can't you kill them first

        • I bet they use a gun too huh? Facking BS, I too get killed by guns in the crucible. Rarely from being flanked though, I have situational awareness and a magical tool I call a radar. Its okay though guardian, just practice on weekends and stuff, you will get it. #FightSatireWithSatire
