Critical Hits: a valuable addition or just fucking annoying?

I love getting crit syringes after a series of successful assists as a paired medic.

There's always a random chance, you just increase your chance by doing more damage. That's why you can get a crit rocket as your first shot out of spawn, and that's one of the things I hate about the system.'

Honestly though, none of you guys despise getting killed by a crit when you know that without it you would have gotten the bastard?

"He may have won the battle, but he didn't win the war."

I don't rage on about a single death. I'll respawn, I'll get him back, and I'll keep playing. I've never seen/can recall when crits have won a game. (except when I saw a soldier on 2-2 Goldrush. Crit rocket + Crit Shovel saved the point at the last second. But that's just one game out of thousands. :P)

It honestly doesn't bother me that much. Chances are in the future you'll get a few favorable crits in a fight that you would have lost otherwise.

Crit SMGs win games :\

a second of crit SMG can take down a heavy, less can take down anything else. And crit bursts are always longer than a second.

That's the biggest hyperbole I've ever seen. Crit SMG is not that good. SMG = worst gun in the game, if you're killed by it...That's embarrassing.

It's apart of the game. I think it's unique and adds a different element than Generic Shooter #4. This thread seems to be a lot about bitching on how crits kill you when you don't realize you get crits as well, therefore giving equal chance to own them.

Bawwwww someone needs to -rep retaliate to feel good?

I enough hours in as a sniper to realize to know what the SMG can do and I sure as hell don't take down heavies with it.

Btw, if I'm so "ad hominem," please care to show your evidence because I'm pretty sure I can get most people to agree with me. Next to the pistol I can't even name a worse weapon than the SMG.

I can wait.

The snipers who play on the same servers as you guys must really suck.

Before the elitist bullshit gets out of hand in here, I think I'll just close this.
