My teammate and I just got kicked while playing a BuildUHC 2v2 because we were "camping" ontop of a tree while bowing on that swamp map we all know;



My suggestion is that the camping rule should be bent slightly for this map.

This is a strategy (bowing ontop of a tree, not swordrushing on a map where either person/party would get caught on vines and make it unfair) where you take advantage of your surroundings. It's something that would happen in a real UHC (yes, forting could also happen in a real UHC but it's a pain, whereas on the swamp map you could just climb onto another tree and bow back to knock the opposing person off, just bow back instead of hiding, or break the leaves. With forting you have to break through layers of blocks and get bowspammed or get caught in lava, among other things).

I messaged the mod who kicked me for camping, telling them that it was a strategy like I stated in my last paragraph, and they replied with that "it's an unfair strategy so that's why my teammate and I were kicked". But it's also unfair to either person who gets caught on the vines in a swordrush, unable to hit the other player back, no?

Anyways, I agree 100% with getting kicked for camping if someone builds a fort or whatever, but for taking advantage of your surroundings when the only time you place blocks is to get ontop of the tree is not something I agree with at all. Most players don't like this map, but it's made worse when they get kicked for camping for trying to have a bowfight. Melee isn't the only way to fight in Minecraft.
