I know there are new BGs and some people didn't do their studying, but I wonder if anyone else has encountered orb carriers on their teams that take the orbs to the edges of the map and stay there? I had a team with a lead get routed after 2 such folks decided to hang out with their orbs In no-mans land while the other team kept bombing the middle and thus scoring more. I informed them of the error and at least one came back but other than raging is there anything to be done?
Just as an example for those that haven't studied:
You score more points, faster when standing in the middle. So I held one orb once, took it to the middle, died within 30sec-1min (or less) and scored as much as the person who stayed at the edge for nearly the entire match.

It's like flag runners in eye of the storm drek afkers in AV, demo-idiots in Isle and HK farmers in every BG.
They won't ever learn.

Well, you get 5 points per tick standing in the middle lower section.
You get 4 points per tick standing in the middle upper section.
You get 3 points per tick standing outside the middle section.
You get X points per killing blow while holding an orb (not sure on this number).
So if you can stand in the middle upper section and hold the orb the whole game evading attackers you will get more points than someone standing in the lower section getting gibbed and only getting 2-3 ticks.
Before calling people derps, have at least a little bit of self worth and educate yourself on what you are talking about.

I did a premade with my friends and I took one of the orbs to the end of the map to troll the enemies =P. Makes for fun GY camping.
(Yes, I know it's better to be in mid)
