Dirt bag spam

Yes, it is frustrating. And even 1 player building scythes and let them make noise to the level I have to turn off my ingame sound. Total bs.

So, to the uninitiated, I have seen this done in one of the rare team games I played, but never understood the reason for it. Care to enlighten me?

My read is that perhaps the players who do it have convinced themselves it's actually achieving something besides feeding the enemy. And the more others repeat this, the more validation the "theory" gets.

For what it's worth, it could be a valid choice for a situational tempo tactic, e.g. to throw enemy skirmishers into disarray, kill snipers, trap tanks, etc.

If this fad stays around at least a week longer, i expect players on the receiving end of this "strategy" to get quite good at rapidly converting the donation stream into economy.

Yeah, as a delay tactic this makes some sense, or for messing with an enemy's targetting priorities. Certain people love to spam dirtbags and nothing but dirtbags all game long and that is really not a good use of metal.

Sending two times as many bandits also allows bandits to kill 2x more, and this is exactly the kind of investment we are talking about.

This is either inaccurate or a bug.
