Despite how many people rage about the instant death mechanic, I like the instant death mechanic. It discourages zerging because if you zerg, you get blown away.

The problem is, the other team can safely zerg. It is a good mechanic but wrongly implemented.

The solution: Skyhammer should always be neutral and then when a team zerg up, skyhammer will blow the zerg group up to pieces.

That will make the skyhammer platform useless. So, then, at certain time interval, both teams can calibrate the skyhammer so it will only target enemies of the opposing team for a limited time.

I can live with the knockdown but the half health hit pretty ruins any kind of good 1v1, 2v1, 1v2, 2v2 you could have had going on..not to mention people just camp the room for free kills.

Do you even PvP?

I assume you don’t. Explanation: A player can take the skyhammer cannon and blast enemies. The player’s allies can’t get damaged. There is only one Skyhammer cannon.
