Tracking counts as spotting damage…..

They are not going to remove arty. The stated reason is they want to have a “rock-paper-scissors” element to the game and there is some truth to that, but I think the main reason is that arty increases the randomness in matches. Specifically, it messes up unicums. From Wargaming’s point of view, this is a good thing. The vast majority of players are casual. Guys who come home from work, play a few games, then put the kids to bed. It’s no fun for those guys to be pwned by unicums every night. Instead, sometimes they get to kill a purple with arty, or more indirectly, sometimes the unicum they are facing gets blasted by friendly arty and they can take him down the rest of the way in their heavy. Sure, in the long run, the unicum is still going to win more matches, but it doesn’t seem as hopeless as it would otherwise. Other games have this mechanic as well. Call of Duty has the under slung grenade launcher for instance. There is a YouTube series called Extra Credits that talks about game design. Several episodes discuss this point and how MMOs with this mechanic succeed, while others without, failed.

It’s not like we hope arty players get cancer, it’s not like we have no respect for someone who have cancer, is just that arty destroy this game, and arty is spreading wildly every year (after any nerf there are fewer players, but with time it start to grow again)

Why is that so fucking hard to understand?
