So how are you going to enforce it? Break designated airspeed for a Lerk and you get bant? :)
You think it isn't obvious who's doing it on purpose and constantly?
Nope. For example in pick-up games, it is now a banned action - sounds good in theory, no? But of course, inside a match the effects are aweful. Whenever someone goes Lerk, it ends in arguments wether it was 'vertical dodging' or 'pancaking' - they're essentially the same thing, but obviously people will argue that for some weird reason its fine when they do it. They'll for example say they "weren't spamming" or "weren't hitting the ground" - regardless of them still going at ~1000+ ish vertical speeds.

Just insert a rule or something that allows you to instantly kick anyone that goes Lerk until this is fixed, at least thats enforceable without needless drama.

lets just say, "you can get banned for flying up and down in quick, rapid successions until further notice."
This is going to be some kind of reunion, isn't it?

I don't see what the big deal for lerk no adren cost flying, i have no problem killing them. Theres only one problem as far as I can see, and its the lack of alien teamwork to drop resource nodes/chambers/hives which aliens no teamwork = lose no matter how many lerks you have.
