It's just polling if you enjoy frontline combat. But, with this title, the implication in the wording implies you that either you enjoy frontline combat (what the fuck do you think most people enjoy) *and thus* metarushes (the implied message) or dislike frontline combat (metarushes) and prefer some dumb idea that's not viable on a large scale
If you are in the hive destroying the queen and eggs and uprooting the entire hive at only 12:20 (5. Minutes. In), yeah you metarushed. No matter what.
it used to be 13:00 was when marines could get into the hive and it not be a meta rush. Then the bar lowered. Deployment time didn't really lower. We still deploy often at 12:20 or 12:25 or even 12:30. And yet I now see hives wiped out even earlier, first at 12:40 and now at 12:30... even. That's ridiculous.
"Chasing", "Dumb xenos". Whatever you want to call it, that's not good design for metarushes to be called legitimate even only 5 minutes in post-drop.
Which brings me to another thing.
Ya'll can argue Dumb Xenos or Chasing or whatever you want. It works sometimes and its legit. But a lot of the time, and its happened more in recent months, its claimed when there is no real basis.
So on that note, reflect.
"Xeno just bad at game" isn't a good argument for why the entire hive is getting wiped out at 12:20 or 12:25 or 12:30.
You can argue game design sure. But not purely off player skill. Not as a "rule of thumb"
