Is AOE lazy playstyle?

Lazy would be if a char put out a static field and all you had to do was walk into mobs.

Yes it is.

So adding the button push then makes it not lazy?

No it is not!

Not a lazy play style. It's not the players fault it's the most effective. It's lazy game design.

It's a tactic not a playstyle, you use it as part of a playstyle, and no it's not lazy, if used smart it's a valuable technique.

There're enough mechanic/tecniques to counter bomb-squads:

1. Spam negate magic, damage reflect skills, blazing shield, etc
2. Use (the right) siege weapons / ultimates on bomb-squads
3. "Cut" the end of the tail (normally not all players follow their leader / leaving enough room for kills
4. etc. etc.
5. Of course, if there are more than 20 player in a bomb-squad it should be much harder to win vs. 20+ player using strategies

All in all, you are much better off with the ESO-system then in a game where you can pick up targets and assist (within the game mechanics), because good assist-trains ARE MUCH WORSE than a low-skillo (vamp-) bomb-squad with their relative ultimates.

If it works, then it's fine. So if you can go and AOE everything down, go for it.
