Why is calling out detectives still KOS-able?

No one says it seriously, but every toxic asshat on the server will jump the gun to kill the person who calls out the detective, knowing that they're inno. It just adds a layer of stupidity and the fact that the rule has been here this long is a little ridiculous.

 

Because then we get to ban the player for toxic gameplay ☺️

 

But who is ever, ever going to follow on a KOS on a detective?

 

New new players who think it’s ok or just people who are like “name called kos on you” because that’s how they are

 

Ive personally never found this rule great either.

97% of the servers will press tab the moment the round starts to see who is det, as well as press tab whenever someone is kosed to mark them.

1% will not press tab, but will notice they are a det whenever they go to shoot

1% will kill the personthat called it

1% will actually kill the det.

This rule makes as much sense as you cant kill the det if they kos you imo.

 

Yeah but they're just as likely to light everyone up anyways, the fact is they'd do this whether the rule was there or not.

 

How is that a justification for the rule, though? Since when are there rules that are only there to protect new players who will play the game wrong?

Anyway, the real reason and the only justification I've ever heard that makes sense is that people use their binds to KOS people who are shooting at them. Traitors do this all the time too, of course. When a Detective shoots at the Traitor, it's very likely that the Traitor is, as a reflex, going to KOS the detective.

I get that rule. However, when someone does this in voice chat, you can still kill them for it, and it can't possibly happen as a reflex. So that's where the rule kinda falls apart.

 

The rule made sense before detectives had their own skin because it was really easy to miss the fact that they were a detective. Kinda impractical now but :shrug:

There's no reason to kos a detective in the first place, idk what you expect

 

What stupid innocent would call a KOS on a detective?

It causes confusion. People call out people as soon as they shoot at them. Calling out detectives is the toxic gameplay as you're not playing the game as it is intended.

 

Because sometimes it's funny? In the same kind of half joke that is when they call themselves rare blue traitors? It isn't toxic gameplay, the toxic part comes from people killing innocents because of it and causing mass inno kills inno sprees.

 

Maybe they kill innocents that call it because they think it's funny.

And when you get to the root cause of that RDM chain, it's not the person that acted on the KOS; it's the person that called it.

 

So you don't see the difference between something that's just contained in chat vs bleeding into actual gameplay?

 

bro i love killing people for kosing detectives

 

For us players that kill for the tiniest things it’s a great rule

 

I know I am kind of late on this, but would it make more sense to say that calling out detectives is toxic game play rather than a traitorous act? It doesn't seem to serve much game play sense to be able to kill someone for kosing a detective as the detective is proven and nobody is realistically going to follow that kos (as it would be RDM if you did). I just want to hear some feedback on that, as this is a rather good suggestion.

 

imo its not toxic bc the ttt_radio thing is hella buggy and it can call out ppl who ur not looking at so you might just accidentally kos the det without noticing and then you just die

 

Why not both? Treat it how you should treat self KOS. While it's allowed to be followed, continual calling is toxic and you can be punished for it.

 

What you guys making trouble of, just kill the D next time and see the kos'er get slain mission succes
