Exactly.

It's basically the equivalent of a character from a fighting game with a Dragon Punch special that has a few frames of invincibility that can be spammed and blows up low-tier casuals online because they neither know how to think one step ahead and maybe bait it, or like, stop aimlessly button-mashing and just block it then punish...

It's just a really good n00b trap and people don't like to admit they fell for it/don't recognize it because they can't even be bothered to put in the effort to educate themselves on what the Chiten effect icon looks like on a SAM's status bar to prevent the instant-kill; so they come here to complain about it (probably on alt accounts) instead. Because it's easier to just keep spamming buttons on a SAM at any given time because its there and infront of them then to stop for a few seconds or change targets temporarily; that's why it's broken in low ranks/Casual (and Frontlines).
