eh? how does a player kill his own teamates with that command?

When someone suicides, they actually explode killing anyone (friend or foe) within the explosion radius. So if a player is around all his teammates and he does that, then they will all die along with him. It does have a 15 second countdown, but its hard to run away from teammates when they are running after you.

can this be shut off, and should it?

It's sometimes a very useful skill if someone knows how to use it... maybe it could be changed so it doesn't kill teammates?

the programming with mani doesnt allow for team differentiating.. so i've been told
though i do agree that the humans should have a different "ultimate"

Fellas, suicide has always been the same.I don't think it should be changed,if there's players abusing it,simply warn them.If they continue to abuse the skill kick or ban

In my experience it doesn't get abuse to often,so we should do just fine in my opinion

I think it's a skill that is TYPICALLY used appropriately. It's only when admins aren't on that it starts getting abused. It can work well when used correctly and no it should not be disabled. If it didn't kill team mates you would end up with 3 suicides leading a rush and everyone else right behind. That would be pretty lame. And seriously... would you rather have teleport?

Pretty sure I was there for this, he was kind of spamming it, but not really. He used it at the very beginning of the round and then turned it off most times. Sometimes it didn't turn off and he killed a teammate, it wasn't from his lack of tryin to turn it off.

The fact that the skill uses mani instead of just making their own skill is pure laziness. It could have easily been done with out mani and not affected their own team with a simple if statement.

i think its good that it can whipe out your own team, makes most players pay attention to what they're doing with the skill its rarely abused, i think its fine
