Complaining as if this is an RTS game or something
Flanking is seen as a totally valid positioning tactic in RTS. More like they want this to be like Lord of the Rings where two sides charge into each other in pitched battle (never really happened that much historically - usually it was much more harassing, holding chokepoints, kiting back, sieging and surrounding armies or pinning them against natural formations like rivers or oceans)
Don't forget tricking them into marching into fields of dry grass and then lighting them up
The funniest shit is that the Lord of Rings books actually have very well-researched and well-written battles. The films changed that, because all of the maneuvering don't look as good on screen.
Edit: and also it resulted in Denethor turning from ruthless and very competent commander into a complete idiot.
I maintain that it could look awesome on screen but no Hollywood director is brave enough to be the first person to do it (and also it would be hella expensive) so we're stuck with people running at each other and breaking off into one-on-one duels for eternity.
For a lot of these people, it kind of is
flanking op, devs plz nerf
Devs, nerf now!
