The easiest by far way to keep everyone happy is simply, make the laser inflict 30-35 self damage. end of story : ) .then lasering in a duel to get better positioning has its drawbacks, and acting like a grasshoper would also hurt. DM has absolutely no problems as in the dcc weapons balance, except the mg primary should be a tad higher (30% more dmg). And over the last 3 months i have played a ridiculous amount of DM, just because of that. Its really balanced.
So just make the self damage higher as kojn says. Frankly, when someone rushes to get out as FC, would do anything to save his ass, maybe even rocket jump to be faster. a 10-15 hp dmg increase is unnoticeable amidst the heavy fire he takes. And appart from grisu who at sometimes needs meditation and aimbots to stophim, i dont know that many ridiculously public server appering good flag runners.
bottom end: 30-35 laser selfdmg is more than fine to fix 90% of problems in my feeling
