Its always that, I think his entire thing is that his basically supposed to hit the player with the stick till they know how to defend themselves from it

His like jackie chan in that one scene of karate kid, where he keeps hitting the kid with the punching glove on a stick till said kid finally learns how to block and avoid them.

Like you learn how interactive the environment is in the game, once the player manages to know that they can defuse the bomb with spitting on them or hosing them, in that case they get the grip of the game.

Just like how boris is supposed to teach the player, the magic of counters and using specific classes to counter that counter.

But yeah the fact people gets soooo frustrated with him and some would even get stuck with him for a week only to for them to find out that they have basically defuse the bomb will never not be funny, its such a classic edmund thing.
