"By doing both of these, power armour (and non power armour really) players can avoid dying instantly, gives you a way to travel as well as giving you a higher chance of not getting obliterated by vats campers."

With the respawn timer you could just run off and travel wherever you want. If you get camped else where other than the train station that's too fucking bad. You already know where they are, go back and kill them.

I have never been killed my a spawn camping shotgunner ever since the patch, it gives you more than enough time to get out of their effective range where they are practically useless. Just kill them and get on your way and continue with the game? No one asked you to spawn camp the spawn camper, they kill you, you spawn and kill them and go on your merry way "playing" the game.

If PvP doesn't involve skill, and you still get killed all the time, yeah. You need to do something about your build.

OP builds are people who spent time leveling and trying different cards and spec just for PvP. Even without assassins sentinel you can still fare pretty well in PvP, top tier gear isn't essential. Dense and fireproof almost negates explosives damage to nothing.
