If the map is set up to make camping a good strategy, it's a bad map. Players are compelled to play optimally.
I don't agree with you completely on either point.
The damage thing yes. But a lot of people just team-kill because they think it's funny, or fancy themselves trolls. On a deeper level, if they are a newer player, or just not good at playing, it's an insecurity thing. They know they are not as good as you are and it makes them envious, and their only retaliation is to "troll". This is why I make the suggestion. Like i said, it's not a perfect idea, but it makes a little more sense imo.
And I have to disagree with you both on the camping thing, Sorry vector.
Camping is sometimes a very useful tool in a team's arsenal, in certain cases. Not the "Praying Mantis" thing, just squatting the whole round and waiting for someone to come by, that's just strange and makes me wonder what kind of people even do things like that. Psychopath suicide bomber types I would assume idk.
But it's useful when it's used to defend the flag-holder. Also in scenarios when you know someone will momentarily be passing by you, based on simple logical tactic camping is a viable part of the game. Some people just do it all the time in weird remote spots on the map. Which makes no sense to me, but hey, at least that little area is covered, right? And if you know they are there that can actually prove useful sometimes. Like if you have the flag and someone is pursuing, you can lead them to where you know your camper is usually at, and they can help.
Also if you're a sniper camping is loosely defined, because that's what a sniper is realistically supposed to be about. Planting themselves in a few key areas to back up their team when they go into the enemy base with automatics to get the flag. If I go into the enemy base and grab the flag, I HOPE a sniper is camping somewhere nearby when I come running out of there.
