I would say that spotters are much better counter for set up teams then jump troops. Someone already explained itd - there is almost no risk for them. What's more, mortar shell splits set up team pretty far they previous position so they can be easly tiedup by commander or simply to be stopmed by sentinel. Then you also have smoke shell. What is more, you have pretty much blob counter in T1.
I still dont understand why there is so much talking about this? Are maps are some wierd corridors without other paths then just forward? Really, flanking, outshooting with LG granade launchers, infiltrated INQ or flared by LC, IG can deal with set ups.
