Not only did you shoot him with a reflected fire beam, you also literally built right in front of his already built weapons that he’s been using the entire game, and it would cost time and resources to move, resources being used to destroy the enemy. You brought this upon yourself mate

[@Nicolai-Syn]

Nah.. but but... noob... and tactics... Learn the maps? No really, I find it absolutely stupid to not work with you team, and instead of building around their tactics, just build in front of them.

[@thedolphin602]

where else do u want him to build it? at the bottom of his base? at the front which is getting hit by howitzers? at the top so he is hitting is teammate above him? behind his base so the firebeams hit the wall? he had basically no choice. also, his teammate might have built his cannons there first, but he proceeded to obnoxiously fire them into incursus's portals even though he knows they're there.

@@thedolphin602 So, he should have just deleted the weaponry he had priorly made. He spent resources on that. You know very well if the roles would reverse, the issue would still be the teammate. If incurses had made his weapon towards the bottom of his base, everyone would be up in arms about the teammate building up into his way. However, I admit that incurses would not have shot at his friends on purpose in anyway unless it was a necessary sacrifice. Mind you this player though was being bombarded the entire match by his allies attacks being reflected right at him.

"Mind you this player though was being bombarded the entire match by his allies attacks being reflected right at him." its not only him. all the other bases were getting hit by reflected firebeams too. and anyway, how does that have anyhting to do with him firing his cannon into incursus's base? if anything he should save those resources and use them to build weapons higher up to actually do damage, or build more energy shields.

I think the best solution is to make fire stack, so if you just sweep it will be on fire for a second or 2, but if you focus it will stay on fire longer.
