Should DE Remove the Ability for Friendly Units to Block Shots?

Reasons why they should:

1. Less trolling by other players (https://forums.warframe.com/index.php?/topic/230683-schadenfreude-players-intentionally-blocking-ogris-to-teamkill/)

2. Easier to hit enemies.

3. Let Rhino soak up damage while you can still hit the enemy

4. Just because.

 

Reasons why they should not:

1. Troll players.

2. 'Realistic', says Space Ninjas, Zombies, Dumb Rich People (Corpus) who somehow got rich by their intelligence and Rockets coming from rifle ammo.

OP he says.

Napalm can one shot mine, maxed out, at only level 40.

Or multi shot, but still, it doesn't last long.

I can tolerate a friendly player blocking my shot, but sometime it got a bit silly, especially when my rocket/arrow/sniper shot got blocked by friendly sentinel.

 

At least make punch through mod can shot through a friendly would be nice.

Actually, punch through mods do pass through friendlies. Or so I believe.

Edit: Except for those rockets and castanas.....

It's the only vague nod towards friendly fire that we'll ever get. It's a realism thing. 

[Unibot]

But it will take the challenge away... Waframe players don't like their challenge being taken away..

[Hexerin]

there's no reason that shot blocking should remain in the game. it does nothing of value, only causing frustration and making any weapon that isn't hitscan inferior to those that are.

[Pixydis]

Realistic huh?

[SwissChris]

+1 friendly fire :D

[Acos]

Turn friendly fire on~ 

Stop walking in front of me damnit. This is a gun. YOU DON'T JUST WALK IN FRONT OF GUNS ARRGH. 

[Unibot]

Remove wall runs ? This is gravity, you can wallrun with gravity.

[VegetableBasket]

+1 for friendly fire.

Also I just think any way to kill my teammates is a good thing. I just want to troll. I am the person who, on CoD4, joined search and destroy just to shoot an RPG at the floor and lose the game for my team immediately. Am I going to hell? Yes. Was it funny? Kind of.

[Seanjuju]

Friendlies block shots as they should.

[shut]

+1. Friendlies shouldn't block shots.

 

If they don't do it in TF2, I don't see why they should in Warframe. It doesn't add anything to the game; it's just an annoyance that pops up every now and then that's usually beyond your control.

I'm failing to see how this is relevant.

[Acos]

Remove wall runs ? This is gravity, you can wallrun with gravity.

Ignoring that we go to several different environments that should have wildly different gravity; you can actually wall run on Earth. It takes a specific motion, and I certainly haven't seen anyone perform it to the degree capable of the Tenno, but the technology and capability of such a thing exists enough currently that I don't' see any major immersion breaking reason it shouldn't be a capability of a very distant future. 

[Zkorp]

No.

I will even dream that they implement full collision for the players also : mind you, we are collidable with our specters (specters with collision ? lol) but not with other players characters... That's lame for an ARPG but it's the actual way to do (even D3 has no collision between players, what a joke...).

[Zkorp]

AND you can notice that it's the only thing that limit the use of totally stupid weapons like ogris or penta, without that we will see everyone with that kind of weapons.

Yes, so much this.  I got fed up with my teammates and NPC's standing my way all the time that I have punch through on all of my weapons just so I have a chance of getting some shots in.  

 

EDIT: As far as trolling, give the Host the option of turning FF on before the start of a mission.  I bet Loki's Switch Teleport shenanigans would come to a screeching halt if he got shot everytime he did it.  And leechers.  Man, those leechers...

They already have, no? It's called punch through.

Has no effect on friendlies, IIRC.

Wrong.

[jjpdn]

Punch through. That doesnt help when another person is right in front of you.

There is a line between frustation an a challenge.

WOW, GREAT IDEA! MORE POWER FOR THE HOSTS!

this would only matter if you could actually choose to host or not, and/or pick which mission session you would like to join.
