Paladin Cover Exploit - something needs to be done!

[Divinemights]

I opened a ticked and the response I got was not one of "working as intended" but that they would be investigating further.
In other words, don't use the random reddit post as justification for using this.

If SE doesn't think that the issue is "bad enough" to warrant a response, the only way to get eyes on it is to report for nuisance behavior when you see it happening IMHO. If there's enough reporting around it, then maybe someone at SE will take notice.

That Reddit post has solid evidence to back it up
Japanese player has reported it as a bug on May 2022 and that report is now sitting at working as intended section
Just FYI, “we will investigate further” is just a generic phase customer service would use on something they are not sure, it literally means nothing

Yeeah still not fixed. Was hoping they fixed it with the 6.21 update but nope. Paladins are still running in covering each other like no tomorrow

Honestly, everyone should just play PLD in Onsal until SE fixes it.

It's very blatantly broken and it'll apparently take something ridiculous for them to bother resolving it.

Was in a Frontline roulette today and one alliance had PLD's cheesing with cover the whole time. At some point we had secured an ovoo about to activate (we were enough people and had killed most of the opponents who were there), but a second before it activated a paladin came running with a teammate and just snatched it. We were 15+ people at that ovoo and 2 people from another team just strolled in and got the ovoo while we were all watching, unable to do anything.
It's really unacceptable that this mechanic is allowed to even exist, especially in that Frontline where it seriously gives people who are using it an unfair advantage. Sure it can be counter-played, if there is good communication in an alliance, the people are fast enough to go there AND have their LB available.
I'm curious to know what the devs think about this, if they know about it and don't plan on doing anything then it would be interesting to hear their reasoning. Then again, I feel it has to become an issue in the JP forums for the devs to acknowledge and do something about it.
Until then I'll just hope I queue into a group with a PLD so we can have an easy win, because people are definitely not stopping with this as long as its available in that Frontline.

It's sad. You can literally fight back against this, but snitching continues to come up as the response.

You bet your ass I'm gonna snitch. I refuse to cheat, allow my teammates to cheat, or let enemy players cheat. And yes, using an exploit is cheating. If someone can just walk up to a point that's surrounded by 15+ enemy players and just take the point without resistance, that's not working as intended.

Don't bother. Dude is just a contrarian on literally everything.

You're right, of course.

Yeah, I just want people who are considering it that may be perusing the forums to see that there are people out there with a keen eye and a few spare minutes to rat them out. It's not worth whatever the consequences may be.

A 72-PLD fest would be amusing to watch.

Pretty sure I saw in another post about this that SE dosnt know if they're considering it a bug or not.

It was reported in NA bug report and accepted as a bug. In EU servers it was reported and dismissed as working as intended.
In JP it was reported and dismissed with more information needed?

I may have mixed up the JP an EU responses but from the looks of it this isn't a bug it's optimal gameplay for a pally.
