<div class="IPBDescription">For clan AND pub play - possible?</div> Consider these two situations:
1. A 10v10 or more public server, without FF.
2. A 6v6 clan match, with FF.
In which would the GL be more effective? The GL is one of the most friendly-fire prone weapons in the game I would say. Also, the more targets in a bunch, the more effective area damage is. So clearly, the GL is far more effective in large FF-off pubs than in small FF-on clan matches.
The question is, now:
Can the GL ever be truly balanced for both play types?
This post is mostly a reaction to the GL buff in 2.1a. Not at all needed in pubs, I'd say, but probably just right for clan play.
Thoughts? Ideas to balance this? Think I'm an idiot? Post!
