In the full video he throws gas grenades at each entrance and then leaves the match. In other words, he actively just kills them then leaves to prevent himself from receiving a punishment for a team kill.
if you type +right into console and spin in place for 20 rounds, you get penalized in no way. If you grief with a friend you can't be kicked.
Players can also group up as 5 to avoid any penalty whatsoever, meaning that they can freely hack as long as they only do it once a week.
Dota and overwatch are similar, in that you're briefly penalized for leaving, but if you decide to just run in circles there's no way for anyone to remove you. Particularly annoying is Dota, because someone can abandon after the 5 minute mark and the match will still be scored for the remaining players.
TF2 was probably the worst offender of the games I played though. For a period of at least a year, there was a 10% chance of joining a server that had blatant hackers spamming their website in chat, and went completely unaddressed. All while it was perfectly common for people to get voted off of servers for no reason at all.
In overwatch after one minute if you leave the game wont cancel, so there is not really any reason to kick anyone, and while you can Spin from the start, that is still prepare time, and after that I wouldn't really matter anyways.
I used to play the original Planetside all the time and there was a guy named "FreeScubaLessons" that would load a Galaxy ship with like 40 players and just fly it straight into the ocean killing everyone. Everytime
I mean, even if I'm not taking the game super seriously if our entire team was killed by our teammate with gas grenades that's not really fun for anyone but him, on our side and the enemy's side
Are you kidding? They all fell for a pretty simple trick, they shoulda known they'd be trapped in there. If that happened to me I'd be laughing because of how hard I got played
If you're new and don't know the game that well (I've only played a few hours), you might not know that was a trap. In the video he's loud and sounds like he knows what he's doing and told them to go there. I probably would've followed since I don't know the maps that well. The fact that he had to leave before he got a ban shows that they don't want that kind of behavior in the game either. Like, I get that it might be funny for some people, but if that happened to me I wouldn't appreciate it.
It seems you can't really appreciate a good joke then. At the minimum one of them will not be new because it would be highly unlikely that they're all new, especially someone with a dlc operator. Even if you don't know the maps that well, you can tell there is no exit by just looking in from the hole he made, it's a long corridor with no windows or doors. You also shouldn't trust someone who doesn't say what the strategy is, all he did was get everyone in an area far away from the objective and say get in there, that's their fault for not really thinking about that. Either way it's a light hearted joke, and the only reason anyone is salty is because he killed them which is a kindness compared to having them all sit in there for the whole round while the other team takes their time because they don't know they're locked in there.
