Please, PLEASE stop building Longshot Turrets in Steel Peel

Seriously. It's ironic that this is the only map I ever see Longshots built on. The only time they're ever useful is for someone on the bridge behind/next to your spawn. Otherwise they sit there shooting the dome.

Same with Gapshots. For some unknown reason, this is the only map I see Gapshots spawned on. Granted they're more useful than Longshots in Steel Peel, they're still pretty pointless.

I buy them cause they kill the guys on the bridge or at least hold them off while they shoot it. Like you said. Good if you're team is getting a bit camped but not for offense.

And you can't change it. It's Lazer Lazer Ice Long Rocket Rocket Ball. Everyone knows that.

If I see 1 Longshot, I get irritated, but let it go. If that 1 Longshot is on the right side of the base, I get even more irritated, but still try to let it go. When I see 2, I grab my mic and proceed to tell whoever built it several mean things.

From the spawn I thought it went on the right side. Gets a clearer shot on the bridge. On the left it is cramped in.

You only need 1 at the most though.

Other way around, the bridge is on the left side. Yeah, if there's 1 I'll let it go. When there are 6 (and yes, I've seen this) I start to get annoyed.

Ohhhh. I love 6 longshots on Lazeraze. So much fun. I forget if the rock-it replacements actually got any shots out though :|

Several? :lol: I don't know why I found that funny.

Although, I'm a bit torn when I see the opposing team build them in their base because: 1) Nearly useless and by not destroying them, they can't put up more effective turrents in that spot (until it actually IS destroyed), and 2) I don't get free money or juice by not leveling them when it's certain some gunner/assault will come by and take it out

WHAT!?! Gapshots work perfectly on Steel Peel once they get inside the dome.

I can second this statement... somewhat. If you have map control, Gapshots will be fairly useful, as they'll shoot at anyone trying to escape their base. I remember someone getting several kills just spamming them once. Freaking hilarious.

Gapshots are only good when you have map control period. The longer the distance they can safely travel, the more shots they can get off.

Today I watched as a Tank built and fully upgraded a Longshot turret on the left inner turret spawner on Lazer Razor directly under our spawn. I IRL facepalmed as it began to shoot directly at the underside of the bridge above it for the rest of the game. The other team made it their mission to not destroy it. Smart bastards.

I love when you see 99's doing it

Makes you wonder...
