The problem is that some maps just encourage using mortars and this then gets abused by the community (and the offending maps become almost unplayable or extremely annoying to play at least). On most maps it is not a problem, but having a game-mechanic that can be “abused” this way is just bad.

Dice must limit the number of mortars being used and making it a pickup weapon could be fine way to do it.
