rockets

can camp with any weapon really u will never remove that aspect from game

Well yeah u can but there is a difference between 2 guys camping with smgs, revs, rifles, mgs and shotguns and 2 guys camping with rocket launchers.
Rockets are AoE based, so camping in garden/ mansion base is something rockets thrive in.
Do that with the other ranged weapons and u will get overrun quite easily.
And if we add the charging mechanic its going to be even worse

i dont disagree, people still camp with explosive like nade mine and molotov regardless which are also aoe and also do more damage than rockets.

like said though the rockets cant be held, once u start charging them they fire no matter what when all 3? rockets r charged. u would need time to charge the rockets and then ensure the person engaging u or actually around the corner to put them to use. a lot less camp efficient than nades/molotovs which can just be thrown and do damage.
also because of this if the rockets shoot when youre camping behind a wall the maps usually played here are small corridors so you end up damaging urself or wasting ur ammo

i do think that having more damage on first rocket than other 2 is good idea if this is too strong so they still capable of damage but not one shotting people (which i dont think should).

could test it on test server

good point tbh. People using these would have to make themselves visible for longer than regular rocket users who can just pot shot... it's a good balance. Using this mechanic, you make yourself more vulnerable to all types of damage (e.g. SG users). And it's risky as well (like you said) since if you decide to hide before all the rockets go out then you risk exploding yourself by a wall.

All in all, the viability of this weapon really depends on how long the charge time is and how fast the rockets go out... If the rockets go out almost instantly, then there will be massive problems with camping. But if they go out slowly, then they're more of a fun gimmick (which is what I believe this post intends them to be), than a real danger/game-breaker
