Why all the hate on Yoinks?

I am seriously wondering why everyone hates them or complains bout them. Its a legit medal just like every other one. I don’t see anyone complaining bout Sniper Sprees when you can’t snipe or Sword Sprees cause you don’t know how to Bulltrue someone. If you want to get all flashy with your kill and assassinate someone IN THE MIDDLE OF THE MAP, I will get a free, easy kill. Not sounding childish or like a jerk, its Halo. And if we playing Team Slayer, then its pooled kills, who cares if you go 11 and 6 with 4 assists, thats still 11 kills into pot to win. Personally I only Assassinate when I know no one is around otherwise I punch em in the back and keep moving cause Halo is all bout fast paced controlled chaos not flashy look at me I’m getting a kill. Also in that regard, if you get yoinked in FFA, please I would be deeply appreciative if you would refrain from speaking…

Proud of my Yoinks.

Nice response from a troll. So your saying in FFA let someone get a kill and wait? Or if I see my teammate doing the assassination about to get killed and showstopped, let it happen so I am not a jerk?

dont be an -Yoink-

I don’t understand why a kill “belongs” to someone if they’re taking the risk of losing it.

Yoinking can happen one of two ways: intentionally or accidentally.

When it’s intentional you see your teammate performing the assassination and you purposely steal that satisfaction from him by shooting his victim.

When it’s accidental you’ve likely lobbed a grenade around a corner or just weren’t paying attention and accidentally denied your teammate the satisfaction of the assassination.

You sound like you fall under classification #1, and it’s these types of players that make people hate Yoinks. Don’t be that person. Be the Showstopper.
