Rejected Discombobulators

I've been playing a little while and i have seen this happen many times including to my self today. You are walking around, the round just started and you don't have anything but a discombob and your starting items. You pick up a rifle but you accidentally hit your mouse and pull the pin the the discombob you panic and don't have anywhere to throw it. So you hold it, run with it, or even throw it. After it blows up you are kos even if it did not damage or kill anyone. After that you know what happens. You get killed and who ever killed you gets kos for false kosing you and then just a big rdm fest. I was suggesting that we could say you can throw a discombob and not be kos unless someone is damaged or killed by it.

 

Or you could just learn to not pull the trigger on your rifle

 

The reason that they are traitorous to throw is because you committed an act that carried the potential to harm someone. Saying that it shouldn't be suggested that a discombob shouldn't be traitorous unless someone is damaged/killed by it is like saying that C4 or even any other grenade should be treated the same way; if no damage is done, it shouldn't be traitorous.

All grenades, excluding smoke, carry the potential to cause harm to people. Because they carry this potential, it will be traitorous no matter what.

It honestly seems a little over kill, I mistakenly pulled the pin and try to dispose of it. But by trying not to harm anyone i am killed. I could stand there like and idiot and let it hurt someone or try to throw it away dispose of it and not hurt anyone. That is not a traitors act. That is a innocent trying to do something potentially good/life saving.

 

Nice profile pic btw, haha .
Anyway, this never happens to me. I really laughed at this because of how many times this has probably happend to you for you to post this.

 

It's still your fault. The rule was made so we can prevent intentional RDM. However, if we decide to change the rules because of something that was your fault to begin with, that would be completely unfair. How do we know that you weren't trying to hit a prop with a grenade and then send it flying towards a player? Because that can happen as well if you throw a discombobulator.

 

That's the thing, I was in a tunnel with two other players there were no other props around. Just concrete walls.

 

And discombobulators can still go through walls. That itself can send a prop outside the area towards someone (extreme case, but possible) or send someone flying off the area you're in.

 

There's a term for instances like this...






EPIC FAILURE!!!

 

+1 I think it shouldn't be kosable for a discombob, because I threw one of the train on the train map and I was still kosed

 

How many times has this happened to you for it to be report-worthy?

 

Once you rdm, accidental or not, just ask for forgiveness, unless it's a mod, otherwise, take on a slay and get it over with.

 

@RecklessCaution
I believe when pulling a pin of a grenade u can still switch weapons to cancel the animations. Just like in cs go.Not sure
