Remove Runner Pushing.

Post by K0NFL1QT » 20 Jun 2017, 11:51

Summary (a quick, 2-3 sentence summary): You remember when Runners used to push the Queen around at superspeed? Well, instead they're now doing it to Marines. I've seen runners lately using it as their sole tactic, just pushing Marines solo into their nearby xeno gang without tackling or slashing them, the Marine just gets pushed a screen away in a second. It feels like they're intentionally bypassing the restrictions placed on pulling objects. As it is, Marines and Runners seem to be equal in that they can push each other around, but Runners move at such a high speed they input ten pushes to a marines one.

Benefits (How this will benefit the server and game as a whole): Marines will be able to handle whatever shoddy positioning they're in without Runners coming up and pushing them offscreen.

Details (Description of how you think this would work, the benefits, etc): Make Runners unable to push standing Marines; to move Marines, they should be knocked down and using the Pull mechanics.

Implementation (Optional, if you have an idea how to implement it): Make Marines bodyblock Runners.

this seems to be bug abuse to me. Ahelp/report it if you see it.

I may be wrong there, but that sounds like a bug

-1, aliens need to be able to push to evade marines. Not being able to push giant aliens makes sense.

Put magboots into the game if you don't want marines getting shoved.

+1 if you want to push a marine out of the way, shove him down. don't get yourself in the middle of a marine gang if you want to be able to run out. or simply let runners just pass by marines on help intent even if marines are on something else.

they can already tacklespam you into helplessness, why do they need to shove you around too

however, we may begin to regret this... what if they make it so the runners just pass right through us? theyll be more slippery than ever!!!
