@Midnight9746The lock out is absolutely necessary it cant go away. The reason you are locked out in the spawning zone is because the other team is way more skilled at killing your teammates when that happens it is not because the mechanic of zones is broken it is because the other team owns you simply so you dont want that game to last 20 minutes anyway players are already leaving in the losing team because it is not fun being shamed in the spawning zone. Enemy team cannot spawn at the base closest to you which is a way to facilitate you taking it back by sending them far to respawn if you cant do that then too bad it is better the game ends early. This happens no more than 1 out of 10 games for me.

Respawn did a great job on this mode only one thing is broken: the possibility to go into the respawning zone and kill respawns at the very second they spawn.
You obviously seem to support things such as spawn killing. The lockout has absolutely no reason to exist. At some point it stops being a game, and becomes more of a massacre.
I have more fun fighting for control over zones, then I do when the matchmaking obviously scrambles teams a bit unevenly in skills, and your team either dominates or you're the one getting destroyed. If I wanted to be completely helpless in a game, I would just stand still and not move, in fact I wouldn't even play games.
Its honestly players like you that ruin the experience for other players.

@Midnight9746Wrong I dont ruin the game for anybody and I dont support spawn killing. If we're in a lock out I still have fun playing and up my game so I can manage to do a few kill and sometimes we cancel the lockout and even win the game because it forces us to play more together as a team.
Seems like anything can ruin the game for you you must be a very bad loser that keeps complaining which make you not fun to play with. - Midnight97464 years agoHero+
@Palette24caratsAren't you on console, and get upset whenever someone wants aim assist to get removed for you?
The only things "ruining" the game for me, are smurphs, cheaters, server issues, audio, and crashing issues.
1) Smurphing is not being handled and it messes with matchmaking
2) Cheaters are rampant
3) We all know the servers are not the best
4) Audio doesn't like exisiting when its most needed
5) Several people are having issues on Olympus, which is the map currently crashing me a lot, and its mainly near the Phase Runner.
Considering how toxic you're getting, and more defensive you're becoming, only proves my point about players like you ruining the game.
We're at the threashhold, where the thread should just be locked or something. There's no point in trying to communicate anything about control, when there's one person who thinks the problems with it aren't a problem but a feature. I feel like I'm talking to Bethesda.
@EA_Mako I feel like we've ventured too far off course. - 4 years ago
@Midnight9746The lockout is pretty annoying, I understand the one for the enemy team’s base but for the middle one is pretty frustrating especially when they are just camping on top of B shredding or sniping you before you get anywhere near the place... its near impossible to get to B on characters like Wattson unless your teammates placed Jump pads strategically
I also want a safe zone because that masters wraith and diamond mirage kept spawn killing me the other day... I love control but its little things like this that ruin the mode I wish they would put an out of bounds timer on the top of B in Barometer because its fine to fight or defend the bottom and inside at the top of B but having people camp and snipe around the edges the whole game just ruins it when you take 1 step out of A or C and cannot safely get anywhere... for the players who don’t understand it just means you are fortunate enough to not be skilled enough to be thrown into these sweat fest lobbies yet full of nothing but smurfs, pros, and occasionally cheaters but idk I’m not any of the above XD unless you count aim assist - Midnight97464 years agoHero+@TheApexLegendNub Most of the control games I've played, I had 1-5 people cheating, and 1-3 smurphs that I've noticed. Some of the cheaters were smurphs themselves. It was stated that these are "new players", but that doesn't explain the no recoil hipfire, where you can be off to the side, and the bullets magically hit you without the need for aim.

@Midnight9746I’m just getting tired of being bocek bow spammed this point, you just hear it and its near impossible to tell which direction its coming from... then I keep getting 4k 20 bomb players with thousands of kills in my matches completely ruining it... The best I have ever done is 2300 damage in BR so I should be matched against players who have done like 3k badges or less imo not 4k+ damage players
the problem isn’t necessarily the bocek bow, charge rifle, triple take, etc... the problem is how far apart A, B, and C are.... once the enemy takes over B all they have to do is start defending from a distance with a marksman or sniper and you are unable to get anywhere near B... its even difficult with a trident sometimes, this mode promotes spawn camping more than anything else... they need to add more ways to get to B or make the spawn points closer together or something the map is just too large and it’s difficult to travel on non movement based legends while being bocek bow spammed, charge rifle beamed, etc when you haven’t even left A or C yet... its even worse the closer you get to B and once you die you have to start all over and then they wonder why everyone leaves early... I’ve left 2 games in a row because I was bocek bow spawn killed nonstop I’m glad it’s finally out of weapon rotation and the game is playable again... (playable except for the fact that the enemy team had 4 players camping our spawn area because it was a 5 v 9... and they had A, B, and C captured)
when I imagined this mode in my head I thought we would be skydiving into the map like we do on Shadowfall or Team Rumble on Fortnite, I’m not a fan of the current spawn system because its too easy to spawn camp so I think they need to take your other suggestion and to make B the only point and then add a safe zone around A and C and only remove the safe zone during bonus rounds... then again idk because it wouldn’t stop them from being on top of B at barometer and stopping you with marksman/snipers unless they added an out of bounds timer up there...

"Why would smurphs bother to play this mode?"
I dunno... you tell me....
I recommend looking at the image below in a new tab or zoom in. These are clearly new accounts and they made up majority of the enemy team that dominated us. Would show that match in video form, but its difficult without "naming and shaming".
Scoreboard's image was taken when I saw the first 2 smurphs, so its not the final or near final score, but the smurphs were racking up 8-14 kills.This is me trying to show that we did, in fact, lost that match:
- 4 years ago@Midnight9746 I just had a 4 minute 20 second Control match, and then one that would have easily been under 2 minutes, but the enemy team decided that they would just farm kills instead of instantaneously win the match. They had all 3 points and were spawn camping us by the time our first point got around 2%.
- Midnight97464 years agoHero+@StelioRokos This smurph team farmed kills while camping B. They got the capture bonuses, and didn't need to spawn kill us. Don't know why they let us survive 13 minutes though.
