Bombs now do no friendly fire- Is this a problem? AND MORE

I partially understand bombs not damaging teammates, but now that they don't even damage the placer, they're practically a free kill: just place mine and roll over or stun someone and they're done, since you don't need to worry about the bomb killing you. This is unbalanced, unintuitive, and generally lowers the skillcap. I would like to see the bomb deal damage to the placer, but I would also like to see what the community has to say.

Also, My previous posts about healthpacks have been ignored, so i'm going to restate: Health packs SHOULD NOT heal you automatically when you pick them up, because that leads to lost healing when you're only scratched.

Finally, I feel badly that so much of the ruins map is wasted. Because both spawn zones are right across from each other in the main room, the majority of the southern ruins is completely untouched. So, here's a rather daring proposition: Brown team should spawn outside the treasure room, and Grey team should spawn across the bottom edge of the map, in a sort of army camp. A sizable no-man's land would stretch between them. This would give each team something to fight for: Grey to attack the castle and take the treasure room, and Brown to push the attackers back to their camp. These changes would also ensure that the entirety of the Ruins structure is appreciated.

I want to see what the people to have to say about that.

Until feedback arrives,

Stay sharp,
