    Yep, this happens a lot actually, lol. People get tunnel vision and continue focusing on the same target. I had to finally make a macro since people weren't watching the 1 pop up above the enemy's head. Apparently the sound effect snaps them out of tunnel vision and they switch targets now, so it has been working better this way, lol.

    I have heard of people getting banned for "macro spamming", but I've been using them for a few days now and all I've been getting is praise of using them so far. The only reason I think people have reported macros so far is because:

    A. You push it 5+ times in a row (which does constitute as spamming) and it keeps going DING DING DING DING DING DING DING DING, lol.
    B. The players are mad because they lost, so they report the guy for "spamming" a macro

    In any case, if you use them responsibly, there shouldn't be an issue. I have a macro for when we're in the lead with time running out, one for the marked target, and one to let people know I'm capped on medal stacks, advising someone else to pick them up. No problems thus far.

I will mark the healer as 1 if I want that. Sometimes I just want to stun the healer and SECURE THE KILL ON MARK 1. Even if it's not a healer. If I trust my team's damage output, sometimes I'll just stunlock or blind the rDPS to help peel for my healer. This again, DOESN'T MEAN JUMP ON THE rDPS.

    Also, to be fair, shame on SE for making it so splitting damage is a COMPLETELY undesirable tactic (as seen in the video).
