Declined Nukes on dodgeball servers (1 Viewer)

[Arrow]

So, as we all know, nukes are pretty destructive, especially on small maps (eg: tfdb_pingpong_c7) where a nuke can almost kill the entire team or maps with a barrier (eg: tfdb_orenge_blu_red_panda), where it is difficult to avoid being killed by the nuke without accidentally running into the barrier which kills you. Even more destructive when theres a new/annoying player that keeps running into you, they get the nuke and of course, they cant hit it so you both die, which im sure we've all been through, it happens to me at least once a day so I'm guessing its about the same for other players here. I dont know about TX, NY or SG servers, but on EU servers there's always discontent about the nukes, especially about their shitty hitboxes. However, i do know there are quite a few people who like the nuke so a vote could go either way probably, but most of the time im online the nuke just gets m2'ed into the ground.

In my opinion, i think it would be best for our sanity and kd if we just deleted the nuke altogether, or at least reduce its radius so it can't wipe out half the team. Or, give them a better hitbox (i dont remember which hitbox is better, smaller/larger so if someone could share that).

The nuke hitbox is the size of a single atom.

Maybe making the player unable to down spike the nuke and 'destroy' it?

I wouldn’t drag USDB into this for two reasons:

1. The poll will be biased, considering hardly any USDB players use the forums (excluding the Admins themselves).

2. From my experience, USDB players actually enjoy nukes. I often hear them say “Play it” or “Don’t downspike it.” And when I used to administrate, players would often ask for me to spawn nukes (even though it’s not possible).

You should be aware that dodgeball suggestions are often one-sided, meaning only EU or US is affected. Reason being, the playerbase highly differentiates from one another based on their likings. EU tends to lean towards fair gameplay, whereas the US prefers fun, sometimes “rude”, gameplays.
