The ability to knock the flag out of someone's hand

Someone with full health and the flag should not be stopped cold by one person with this belt item. At the very least there should be a counter pack or a health requirement, ie less than 50% health you are vulnerable. Because right now people have figured out you only need one of these guys around the flag to stop flag grabbers. One hit and the flag is dropped. It is by far the least skilled function in the game and one of the most impactful. _________________

There really needs to be some improvement on this. Someone with full health and the flag should not be stopped cold by one person with this belt item. At the very least there should be a counter pack or a health requirement, ie less than 50% health you are vulnerable.

Because right now people have figured out you only need one of these guys around the flag to stop flag grabbers. One hit and the flag is dropped.

It is by far the least skilled function in the game and one of the most impactful.

While I've experienced this frustration, it's not like capper isn't already the most accessible role in the game.
