Armor lock
Armor lock is actually a good strategy, despite me never using it. Your complaining about it being over powered but, if you think about it...
1. You can't move while using it.
2. Unless your retarted enough to stand next to the guy during the emp then it provides no damage to the opponents.
and 3. its easy enough to just run in after the emp and kill the guy.
So stop complaining about it, i just think you are yet to learn how to counter it.
But the strategic uses:
1. Countering grenade spam.
2. Countering splatters.
3. Providing a false target while allies take enemies.
and 4. Postponing death by gang-ups.
So, anybody who complains about it either:
1. Can't use it.
2. Can't counter it.
and 3. Uses actually overpowered abilities like jetpacks (reach abusive sniping spots) or invisibility. Seriously, i played a game when the whole other team was spamming invisibility and we lost by 1 kill because we couldn't find em' before time ran out.
Lists are fun.
oh and good flash.
