Snipers and gunslingers would cast orbital strike on their nodes a few seconds before they die, hoping that it will prevent their enemies from capturing the node after their death. I assume they do this because they do not know that orbital strike disappear upon the caster’s death (whether he/she finished casting it or not).
I know, it’s not obvious if you’re a new player. And yes, using “idiot” is a bit harsh. But this is my friend’s viewpoint and his pet peeve, so I kept true to the script. The gunslinger in this comic is my friend Slitch, one of the best gunslingers on our server. If you would like to watch his stream sometimes, it is: www.twitch.tv/slitchi.
