:T

Im not getting tis./
You made one big angry wall of text to explain why you dont spam the Warmaster Rocket Spammer? (<--trying to make "spammer" catch)
i mean, really, ppl who complain getting spammed are usually not that good or are trying to tell you something.
you can literally intentionally spam with any other weapon. the Leviatian Spam, Spamtech Alchemer MkII, Trollaris, Spamasuar, etc.
the thing is, the WRH's action makes it an unintentional spam. or intentional spam.
It has speed, reach, and its powerful.
I mean, I should make my own thread why my FoV is not spamming in LD. Weapons are weapons. a battlefield is never fair. some ppl use this to thier advantage. get over it. i dont care if you use OP, spammable weapons against me, it just tells me what type of player you are.

That's a bit unfair. Teethpicks are arguably OP in LD, yet 60% of players use skolver/teethpicks. Does that mean that all of them are just half-assed cheats who just want an easy win? No, there are many excellent players who use that setup, and many who suck, and many who're still learning. Fact is, not many people will go into T3 LD with winmillion, because it'd be a waste of time. People use what works, not what's "fair for the enemy". If that was our attitude, then no one should use UVs, because they're invariably "unfair to all enemies".

Personally, I see it as a comment on the player if they decide to whine about spammers. The best players can kill someone even if they are spamming, so shouldn't need to complain. The worst players won't be able to beat a spammer whether they're spamming or not. The only people who complain are the ones who're just looking for an excuse or something to rationalise why they die. And they'll use anything. I'm a pure support bomber, and I've been called a spammer for using bombs. Bombs.

Two things I noticed in Lockdown:
- People don't understand latency - They shoot/attack where they see people and are surprised when their hits don't register. I remember people trying to test damage with hammer and coming to the conclusion that hammer can't be hit during second slash. This is absolutely false, and in reality, they probably missed because they didn't know how to aim ahead of movement to hit through lag.

- Hammer has no invincibility frames during the second slash. This is a sort of niche thing that I realized but think it's absolutely hilarious when a "hammer spammer" (the terrible ones that keep doing full combos to move when enemies are on screen) gets mowed down by Blitz Needle, of all things.

Anyway, that said, people whine about what they don't understand. It's bound to happen ¦3

Rocket hammer is in my opinion the most fun weapon in this game.
It can be used in so many different ways, and you actually need more experience to use a hammer correctly, other than using a toothpick wich is hit and dodge.

If its used by the right swordsman, this will be most deadly weapon in PvP for him, and you wont be able to fight against it.

People who complain about people using rocket hammers are either trolls or jealous in my opinion.
Someone that has nailed the ussage of the hammer shouldnt be called "noob hammer spammer", it should be called a true PvP veteran, and he should take as prize the victory of his team and the soul of the enemy knights (or at least their hearts :o)

That's the opposite of what I've found. I find that I can hit players with the first swing of my Gran Faust before they can hit me with the Rocket Hammer.

Goofio: Yes, me too. But that's because most people don't have ASI on their hammers, and I have ASI on my Gran Faust. Do you have ASI? Also, the attack speeds are recorded in their respective weapons pages on the wiki, aren't they?

I have seen people called "(weapon) spammer" for every popular weapon you can name in LD. Hammer, GF, guns (especially Polaris), bombs, you name it. What I have found is that the ones complaining don't know how to combat whatever it is they're complaining about, almost always. It CAN'T POSSIBLY be their fault, their skills are flawless, you must be a noob spammer.

I have been called a hammer spammer before, as it is one of my favorite weapons, in both PvE and PvP. My normal response is "yes yes, i'm spamming my hammer. nothing at ALL like you're doing with your FF right?" And then they normally shut up, because they can't argue their point without calling themself one.

In the end everybody spams their weapon of choice. It is the nature of LD.

The main reason why people complain about the hammer is because it offers a superior strategy only to paying players. Noone would complain if the roar twins dropped, say, a brandish that deals peircing instead of elemental. You might not be able to get that exact sword for free, but you can at least get one with the same moveset and damage-weighting. Not that its a big deal to me either way, I play T2 with a flamberge and nightblade. Dat hammer kills me in exactaly two hits though, I would really appreciate them lowering the damage by a half a health plip.

I just don't like it when people get defensive if someone says they spam. When I tell the other team that they're all polaris spamming, its half-congratulatory. I mean, getting your whole team on one base all using polaris is actualy kinda impressive. Even if I was talking trash, it's PVP. Of course I'm gonna talk trash, haven't you people played quake?
