Do you consider mass binding as sniping?

[Romdath]

CWA: mass binding is useful when finishing a pile to call easy transistions, or when one team has already won due to the # differences to make it finish faster

I dont consider it sniping but its annoying if the opponent has like 5+ ppl who constantly binds people in your pile, its a pretty pathetic move imo.

PvP: poeple are supposed to mass bind in pvp, the piles, snipers, fall in leaders etc.

No not really.

[HAR]

Sniping stops binders from hitting binds allowing the tank to run away and not get hit.

Mass binding stops people from hitting the pile so the tank won't get hit.

 

At the end of the day, they achieve the same thing, preventing people from hitting their main pile.

 

If its at the end of the war and your trying to keep someone alive, its not really sniping. In the middle of a fight though when the war could go either way, yes it could be classed as sniping.

i always mass bind cuz i own

You don't own, damn...

 

Yes its sniping because your attacking somebody. I honestly don't know and couldn't care less tbh.

[Stormfolk]

it's just annoying

[The Observer]

Last time I checked you can't do damage with bind spells, so it's not sniping. :-P

 

i see ur point but then think about this 1, how do you define sniping? as disrupting the enemy/oposition clans pile or just causing damage to them? cos if its just disrupting then mass binding=sniping but if its causing damage then mass binding isnt sniping lol

 

Well, if you look at sniping it targets blasters, then binder, then fall in leaders. Mass binding targets fall in leaders first and then everyone else.

The purpose of sniping as I understand it is to pressure their binders/rangers so they cannot pile their clanmates as effectively. Mass binding usually targets just about anyone with no real focus.

 

I can certainly see the reasoning behind calling it sniping, I just don't think it's a big problem. Transition onto him, free KO.

In low opt fights it's not a free ko, thus a huge annoyance. Especially if everyone is low run and he's binding from a good distance.

I don't see how mass binding can be referred to as mass sniping in anyway. When you mass bind it's annoying yes,but binds don't cause any damage.

 

If you're against mass binding for your war then specify it in the declaration. Problem solved

So what would be your definition of mass binding be then if it was turned off?

I would say it would be kind of obvious. In a melee binds fight having your staff out binding multiple people rather than one person whom they are piling.

[Arthurlore]

Not not really. It is meant more or less to disrupt and annoy the other clans pile which yes is similar to sniping but it does not kill them.

[unclebilly1]

Big clan fights - Mass binding = easy transition KO's.

 

Small clan fights - Mass binding = disrupts the opponents pile = your clanmate tanks longer.

 

Good in both situations. :thumbup:

[Monkeyfbi135]

It is a form of attacking, is it not? Then of course it counts as sniping if you're away from the main pile :P

[SaltyPigeon]

The intent of a sniper is to disrupt the opponents main pile.

 

Mass binding certaintly disrupts the opponents main pile.

 

That said, is mass binding considered sniping?

 

Same intentions, so I say yes.

more or less my thoughts

But there's no definiton to what mass binding really is. How many people is it if they're mass binding? How many binds must be thrown in order for it to be called mass binding? I think turning it off in wars is asking for trouble, especially if one clan was to bind others at the end to keep their opts, or if different people interpret the answers the questions I ask differently with one clan leader saying it's 1 binder binding 3 times, and the other saying 2+ people binding 5+ times.

 

As for my opinion, yes I do think it is sniping as you're attacking the enemy, but although I consider it acceptable if clans mass bind just to keep their ending opts high at the end of a war(eg 12-6 to 12-0).
