On.
Then faggots wouldn't shove themselves into my sights right when I'm about to pick someone off.

On.
Allows for much more interesting tactics.
You can use enemy numbers against them by placing yourself so they block each others line of fire. You can make people with explosives reluctant to fire by placing yourself right next to their allies.
Of course this requires a functioning community, which you rarely see if the game is just centered around random match making.

I like games where friendly fire are off by default because it forces me to get creative with the ways I teamkill.

>jumping in front of a teammate the second they fire a rocket so that they kill themselves with the splash damage
>jumping out of a vehicle immediately before running over a teammate so that the game registers it as a neutral object and allows it to kill them

etc
>>
On.
If it can be abused by shitters in your team who kill team mates on purpose, measures should be added to force them out of the team, or at least make it public so that they can be avoided in the future.

It's interesting how friendly fire is becoming more and more rare, though. Blizzard is a great way to see the progression:
Diablo 1:
>friendly fire always on
Diablo 2:
>friendly fire only if you set hostility and levels are appropriate
Diablo 3
>friendly fire only in preset arenas

Warcraft 2:
>friendly fire always on (for aoe)
Starcraft:
>friendly fire always on (for aoe) [IIRC]
Warcraft 3:
>friendly fire off
Dota and other WC3 derivatives:
>friendly fire off
>>
>>337857489
On because I'm autist for realism but then again off because everyone online fucking sucks and shoots at the slightest movement. People are bad

>>337860417
>Warcraft 3:
>friendly fire off
Incorrect.

Some spells have friendly fire, others do not.

Blizzard does, for instance.

Does killing your teammate hero count as friendly fire?
>>
>>337862512
One of the best feelings in the world.
Some of the demo maps had mods for rocket-shooting pistols as well and you could blanket the whole field.
I miss that game.

always on
no exceptions
no questions
>>
>>337863007
For every hundred instances where you automatically don't affect team heroes, there's one where you can. There are exceptions, but ff is off by default. Similarly, you can't heal/buff enemies (by mistake or in aoe) except in few cases.
