See? That's what happens if u play other games and try bring their concept over here without thinking...Skill. Any by that i mean skill in the form of game play. We don't have any skill shots (arguable with skilldeks/vrex) or exciting gameplay at all. Its literally shoot shoot shoot heal shoot shoot shoot. [...]
Yes, EU doesn't have skillshots. Instead, it has avatars who's every shot is more powerful than a skillshot. It has avatars who are in the constant godmode. In EU there's no way how a cocky noob who created his account yesterday could rule the game with perfectly aimed headshots. That's the whole point. EU's strong suite is NOT to try to be a copycat but instead provide an alternative way.
Think about it. Not everyone has lightning fast reactions, superior spatial awareness and kickass hand-eye coordination. The reality is quite the opposite, there's millions of people out there who can't even dream about competing in those areas with anyone, ever.
So here it is, the safe haven for our Average Joe. In EU he has a chance, here he can become someone. OK he prolly won't be the best PK'er ingame. The movement technics and aim still means something. But at least he can become a valuable member of the team. This is something everyone can achieve. Takes time and effort but at least it's possible. That's the whole idea, that's how it was designed.
Who hasn't realized that has never understood the EU concept at all. I just hope there's someone left at MA who hasn't forgotten how this game works. Sometimes i have my doubts.
