Randyman...unfair advantage?

Hiyas,

Randyman uses a skin of a guy in a wheelchair with a tiny gun up above where his head should be (Dr. Freak skin?). It is much harder to see than a normal skin when he is in cover with just his gun visible above it.

Myself, Avenger and a guest (Snagmaster) think it is an unfair advantage so I'm starting this post to see what people think of the subject.

I've said nothing to him so far and neither should anyone else until it is decided what, if anything, needs to be done about it.

IMO I think he should be asked to use a skin that has a head and shoulders in the same place as everyone else.

This is a discussion thread. If the consensus is unanimous or close to it we can ask him to use a different skin and hope that's the end of it. If opinions are pretty evenly divided we can always put it to a vote.

This is only an issue with the skin he uses. As far as I know he hasn't run afoul of the rules and is a decent player.

Maybe you should run this post as a poll, imo a skin is a skin, sometimes i like to use bright skins to make play harder but other times i use a dark skin, Personaly i like seeing varied skins in the server and ive played against people wearing this skin many times but i usualy find i see that player more often as it stands out clearly wear as a normal skin can sometimes slip into the background. Not a problem IMO. however a Poll would asnwer you questiopn better than just people posting.

I dont see the wheelchair skin as an unfair advantage.

Everyone can download that skin and use it..

The dark skins, like the DOU member skin for instance, seems far more unfair to me.

In dark areas it can be very hard to see players who use that skin, but also this skin is to download for everyone (guestskin).

So we also could see the dark skins as an unfair advantage and many guestplayers do.

Others, mostly the users of the skin, will defend it as being used as camouflage.

It all fine by me. The users of those skins forget one thing: it will never improve your skills! πŸ˜†

Something to think about πŸ’‘

At first I had a few problems with spying Randyman, but now I can track him down easy and shoot straight into his wheels ::violent069::

{DOU}Mr_Underhill also uses that skin, I think it has both advantages and disadvantages.

At first it is hard to see the skin but once you spot it i have no problem sending him to hell in a wheel chair.
