If you look at Rage example you see that the opponent stays in front of attacker no matter how many hits he gets. Because of this attacker dont even need to aim that much.
However, if you are pushed, attacer will find it way harder to aim and will often need to reapproach for another attack. Its more difficult to hit with nex something that truly moves, not to mention hitting with no aiming as in combo. But when the target is in front of you most of the time then yes, its an easy hit.
Regarding laser and evasion. Its not wise to laser up when you are camped in open space. But camping in open space can be dealt with as I proposed above. Now it is good tactics to laser out of direct confrontation when you happen to be in disadvantage. Laser does provide defensive opportunities. That is why e.g. missile guiding is quite often used in nexuiz - you cant expect your opponent to stay in front of you untill one of you prevail. If in disadvantage, he will typically laser hell outa place.
Also I dont belive solid laser movementse are bad for game. Quite contrary, especially in ctf. They are more fun than pushing-ball gaming.
