Grifball is garbage

Grifball would be very good but it’s unplayable when you get kicked every game due to the ridiculous range of the gravity hammer that kills your own teammates, 343 what were you thinking? another game mode ruined

Another game mode ruined because you can’t stop team killing? Booting is in there for a reason because people thought it would be fun to spawn trap your own team. It’s not that hard if you don’t swing as soon as you see some and let the team mate in front of you deal with it

Maybe booting should be removed for grifball, it is so easy to kill your own teammates,on purpose or on accident.

its not so much the range its the way it can kill people next to you as well if they arent behind you far enough

I wouldn’t say betrayals are the main problem with Grifball. I got spawn trapped by a company after not playing the Gametype for a month. I know spawn trapping has been a thing since 3, but the ridiculous range of the hammer in Grifball makes it an even bigger problem than before.

did you even read what i said? I’m obviously not purposefully team killing but the gravity hammer is so powerful it kills people who arent even in your line of sight, how do i prevent that? all they have to do is buff the hammer to have decreased range and it would be fine, that or remove friendly fire from grifball

Removing friendly fire would be a good move cause then if your teammates are trying to spawn kill you they can’t.

It’s actually a terrible idea. Removing friendly fire breaks the gametype and will just allow you to bounce your teammates everywhere with no repercussions.

Grifball is a gametype that actually needs FF enabled.

then buff the gravity hammer its range is ridiculous resulting in way too many friendly kills

Look, I play Grifball. I don’t seem to have this issue with betraying nearly as much as you guys are saying.

I don’t disagree that the betrayal threshold should change but it is absolutely possible to go games without betraying teammates. It’s not meant to be about blindly charging in and smashing at everyone. Learn to position yourself relative to your teammates, learn to use the sword, etc.

even when you do position yourself right and know where your teammates are it isn’t always possible to judge who your hammer will kill due to how ratarded its range is
