Otha's objectives however can be accomplished with no enemy team or both teams completely ignoring each other. The only objective reason to fight is to slow the enemy team's progress so your team can finish first. I suppose flipping sides to affect the objective objective is just as bad, but giving the free-style play Otha provides and what I've seen, that hasn't been the case.
