You probably cut out how many people they killed.
Actually, you can. When my own teammate decides to herp derp the stand with the mortar when I'm nearby as LD/chase and kill me and one incoming capper, while the next capper easily gets the flag, there's a serious problem. People need to learn how to use the mortar effectively and properly. It's a great chase weapon in many regards - you can practically shut down routes on Nivosus (as they generally consist of front routes) with the mortar.This.
You can't blame the players for this.
You have a heavy on your team, and you're standing close to the flag? Sir, you need to rethink your strategy.Actually, you can.

Because you're doing it wrong? You're Sentinel with Mortar, YOU'RE SUPPOSED TO SPAM FLAGSTAND! If half your team is standing there it's THEIR fault.How is it that when I play as sentinel I can actually avoid teamkilling most of the times?
