And TFs are a bit easier to destroy than a comm chair, so it isn't THAT big of a problem.

I'm pretty sure you can jump over CCs as Onos... try duck jumping.
A bit lame? I find it downright dishonest. Marines were sieging a hive and blocked the way with a CC so it would be futile to attack only upon retreating to regen and attack again to get slowed down by the CC and slaughtered.
A marine radius is a good idea, although it may not solve the problem entirely.
But of course, why do it the easy way ? <!--emo&:p--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html//emoticons/tounge.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='tounge.gif' /><!--endemo-->
one server i play on is a custom maps only server. and one of the admins (there are 2) says blocking is not permitted
however the other admin says its fine to TF block.
in a game, level 3 hmgs and HA's versus an onos in a long corridor which is impossible to jump over a tf becuse of a slope (im talking about ns_blackmesa marine spawn side, just at the first corridor out of marine area) ..
we had an onos attack and kill one tf and INSTANTLY the commander dropped another one.
there should be a com chair limit, or something to stop people blocking with cc's too

That is a problem with the server and the admins, sounds like the left and right hands don't know what the other is doing.
League rules (last time I checked) state you can use any structure anywhere on the map except in instances where you totally limit the ability to go from point A to point B. Meaning you can CC/TF spam til you blue in the face as long as you can jump past it or get around it, you can't put those structures in vents, or on ladders.
If the marine team has enough res to spam structures, consider the game close to being over anyway.
If you are complaining about this, then what about the aliens ability to build OC walls, and the gorge's ability to drop an OC to draw all turret fire...same thing as what the comm doesn but no one complains about the gorge.
The point remains. This is a server specific rule, not a community specific rule. If you don't like it happening frequent a server that doesn't allow it.

The marine commanders ability to freely drop 5000 hits structures anywhere on the map, then recycling them once they have fulfilled their purpose isn't really comparable to slow, weak aliens plopping down 500 hits OC's at their own position.
Just to make this strategy even MORE appealing is that while built structures gives you back 50% of their res when recycled, UNBUILT structures gives back 80!!!%. Thus, the effective cost of blocking an onos retreat (or clearing an OC wall) by dropping a CC is actually only 4 res.
Personally, I'd rather see unbuilt structures drop with about 5% of their hits to stop the (IMO) cheesy tactic. Actually BUILDING a wall of CC's is ok by me... DROPPING a wall isn't.
