It's That Time Again: The Wizard Complaint Thread

[Paineframe]

I really do think we need to get people to leave their departments and go fight more. If the entire crew rallies against a non-crew antag, they should be put down quickly, and the issue is that it NEVER happens. I know I'm guilty of this, as I don't leave my department often enough, but at least I do things that are useful to the rest of the crew (looking at you, Mechanics)

It's particularly hard to do against Wizard, though, because he's incredibly mobile and often difficult to track - he can walk through walls, teleport around the station, and even has a decoy spell sometimes. Every wizard round is filled with people shouting "Where's the wizard" and "AI, track the wizard", because otherwise he doesn't stand still long enough for people to gather up and mob him. He zaps/blasts a few people and bails.
