This is not a complaint filled thread (yay)
Just curious to see if people think this will be useful…
Oddball is autograb, so what if someone is shooting at you (or a teammate) you can throw the ball at them as a way to make it so they stop shooting. Sure, they can drop it but it will give you a window to either fire back or give a teammate a well needed break if they are being fired at and allow for a strong team shot…
Thoughts?
This actually sounds interesting lol
And it sounds like it could work =] Imagine having a shotgun and in order to close space, you toss it so the enemy catches it; so you can move in. Would be really embarrassing for the other player, I’d probably rage lol
Y’know…I never thought of that.
That will be a pretty interesting strategy. I’m not sure if you can drop the ball manually without throwing it, though? And with that thought, I’m not even sure if you can throw the ball to enemy players? I haven’t been keeping up-to-date with that.
People did that back in CE since it was auto pickup then as well.

You can throw it like a grenade and with auto pickup its essentially a sticky grenade that can buy you a second to shoot back or use it in support ways
Could make for interesting plays on both sides. On the one hand a guy could toss the ball and confuse the other guy long enough to shoot him down. On the other I can see someone tossing the enemy the ball only for him to immediately beat the person down with it or throw it right back. I’d like to see a little hot potato stand off where each person keeps throwing the ball so neither can shoot, while both stay out of melee range.

#6 lol it will definitely be interesting to see if people can use the autograb in their favor… i was just sittin here waitin to pick up my girlfriend and thought about this xD and then someone copied my thread… >.>
Catches oddball, manages to run away with it and survive

It is possible, and shouldnt be used in all situations but there is certainly a good chance a skillful team/player can use it to their benefit
What if you throw the oddball at me, I catch it and sprint towards you and smack you in the face with it?
I see a lot of Grab Oddball → Run into room with enemy → Throw Oddball at enemy → ??? → PROFIT! happening lol

Then i am an idiot but with a 1.8sec kill time, it is very possible to kill you before you get to me. I obviously wouldnt throw it at you from 5ft away
