Well, I prefer the word "fragging" instead of "killing". :o) You are right, the current (Nexuiz) mortar is used for, or effective at, pushing people around - and if that's gone because the grenades are sticky now (with the sticky one you can't really push people effectively) I think we'd need another one that replaces this pushing function. To me, fragging people is fun, but it could use some variety. If you use pushing weapons you can put them in a place where you can more conveniently hit them with other weapons (my favorite was the laser/Nex combo up to now). And, you can push people off the map, where possible. From my point of view, this adds a lot of variety to the standard gameplay (e.g. decreasing hitpoints below zero). Not everybody plays this game in order to frag as many people as possible in the shortest time. Some players have fun fragging in a different way.
If I am the only one that feels we need to maintain the "push around" element, then fine, never mind me. But I got the impression that a lot of people that I played with so far found this most amusing too.
