Can we please change the snub changes back?

[ASimpleMan]

I personally disagree with the fact that torps are the norm. It takes the skill out of PvP snub fights. One second your dueling, then WHOOP your dead. Cm's don't work to well because the torps still cause splash. Personally I don't give a hoot about how long the fight is, the longer it is the better the reward at the end. The more hard fought, the better (That's what i think).

The torps sort of make the fighting boring. Jousting is rendered useless. No more boxing or jousting. If there is any, it's hard. I was in a fight in Tau-44 earlier today, the guy was using torps. Now, the fight wasn't as fun. Not because he almost killed me, but the fact that it's an instant kill at close range if you don't have much hull left. You have to constantly use nano's and Sb's. The whole skill of boxing and jousting is toast cause of this. Early turning still works, but the joust and boxing has been brutally affected by this. I feel like the challenge has been cut short for me, the extreme interest I once had in learning about snubs is gone.

Here's an analogy for you: When guns in RL first came about, the old knights couldn't stand a chance. The (honorable) way of fighting was toast. Now it was different, took less skill to kill someone. It didn't take manpower, sweat, blood. It did, but not that much as opposed to sword combat. Just moving your finger and you win. The fun with snubs is the length, the skill, the outmatching your opponent, out turning him, trying to aim right, pressing keys in order while doing all these things. When torps are added into the equation, its all luck. Firing your torp doesn't take skill. It auto-locks. Then, with luck, you win. Not skill. Yes, you can dodge them, but it's hard to do that while shooting your guns.

Maybe I just suck and can't adjust, but by seeing other people agreeing with me, and the fact that I'm not utter trash at snub PvP, it makes me think otherwise.
