Defusing Mines

Hey folks, just posting a short suggestion here.

Since the Gorge gets points for bile bombing weapons, how come that there are no points granted for defusing mines? (I'm not talking about skulks jumping in the next mine on sight)
As I'm often playing Lerk it feels quite unfair to not get points having in mind that eventually a skulk would've died instead. What do you think about it and how many points should be rewarded?

    I'm sure they get points for spiking but a point for actually detonating a mine... erm.... :-?

    What about Onos, Fade and gorge steping on them to defuse them? :P
    What about Skulk "defusing" them? :D Simple economics you know... eggs cost little, mines cost 15.

    should be minus points for setting off a mine and killing your team mate. Then skulks will look before grinding a gate.

    ^ Please nooo! That's my favorite passtime. I see a skulk playing and maneuvering around a mine for an hour, so I come and BAM :D

    Nothing like 'defusing' a door frame mine the very minute you decide to go Lerk...

    I am the prick that puts mines on door ways in case I catch a lerk. ground mines are so easy to spot.

    As a lerk, mines are my greatest weakness.

    I don't catch lerks often with mines, but when I do it feels amazing.

    You know you can bite mines as a skulk without them exploding?

    Not really, 100hp mines, -75 for 1 bite then 3 parasites to finish off.

    From C12->Topo vent, first right hand turn. 2 Mines. Lerk WILL die.
    Crossroads-complab -> maintaccess vent, complab side, 2 mines under the trim. Lerk, dead.
    I <3 2-mining common lerk escape/ travel routes :)



    Back on subject, OP is completely reasonable.
    We need to be doing more with the point system in game, and this is a valid improvement.
