Why do people hate sig spammers?

[᲼᲼᲼᲼᲼᲼᲼᲼᲼᲼]

Does it have to do with sigs being disjointed?

Normally because people are new to the game and keep running into it.

It's general salt, give it no mind.

It essentially forces the player not spamming to use a hit and run tactic, sigs usually have heavy end lag and are easily punished. It isn't a weak method and a skilled spammer can be very difficult to defeat (too bad there aren't many ). Basically it's irritating to verse and as Gollgo said, new players are vulnerable to this tactic.

Signatures are basically heavy damage attacks that can trap your enemies for a bit of time. Usually the person who is spamming are noobs or trashy players that don’t know how tot play the game yet. And the person that is getting attack is usually getting hit. From my experiences, that’s why I believe why people hate sig spammers. What I still don’t get is when they lose and claim that I was spamming Ember. Like chill, and I was only using bow light combos XD

I am kind of new and apparently the crybabies claiming spammer yell it as a way to blame something instead of themselves, unless its a passive Orion.(NOTE:I only used sigs+dash as a punish or an attempted read, used katar strings most of the time.)

sigs have great hit boxes if you studied it them from berthen. You could pull a win almost everytime if you use it annoyingly lol.

Not all spammers are noobs, I've seen a Nix main with around 1700 elo (therefore, platinum) that almost only used sigs. Sure, not the same sig every time but only sigs, almost no light attacks. Also, any light that they used was immediately followed by a sig. That kinda surprised me so I lost to them, but managed to shut them down completely in the runback. That, however, really forced me out of my comfort zone. You gotta play kinda weird to beat that.

As for my opinion: I hate sig spammers because, although there is higher lag than light attacks, it has nowhere as many lag as a game like Smash does (heavy attacks in smash have like 20+ frames of lag). Coming from that game, I feel like I can't punish sigs well enough like ever. You need to be just far enough not to get hit by the sig, but not too far, otherwise the spammer will get away for free. And since Brawlhalla has no shield mechanic, it's easy to mess up and get hit by the sig despite trying not to.

There, I guess not many people share this kind of perspective so I thought I'd do it.

It makes a match very linear, repetitive and boring. Personally I love games that have thrill to them, domination, comebacks, nice combos, failed nice combos, good ideas, mind games...
None of this happens with spammers. As a spammer, you require zero skill - with very rare exceptions - all you're doing is pressing the same buttons in repeat - s/n/dsig, step back, rinse and repeat. As a player that likes to explore the entirety of what the game has to offer, to counter this you have to adopt a repetitive gameplay as well, which ends up in zero experience gained and a tedious, boring and repetitive game. In my opinion spam is not a "tactic", it is precisely the lack of a tactic

Light attacks in brawlhalla have more than 20 frames of lag LUL. On a more serious note ive fought people who spam sigs as high as 2300 elo. Its not a common playstyle in the upper ranks but you can make it work.

People hate spammers because spamming is a braindead strategy, let's say your silver and know how to dodge and you wanna learn to play the sword, your decent with the sword, but you don't know when to dodge, but you can dodge none the less. You get matched with a spammer and they beat you, all they did was press one button and not try to be good at the game, you are obviously more skilled than them yet they are using a strategy to beat you, that sounds so similar to hacking in games like CSGO, plus countering spam makes the whole match a game of cat and mouse, it makes it repititive and annoying, removing all fun from the match, making it like playing a game of passive where both players are passive and don't want to engage, ones throwing weapons trying to bait you while your trying to think of a way to punish.

[K4S :)]

I´d like to play with a higher rank more than with spammers.
Spammers are thrash of community, and that's a fact.
