Intentional. Its called Crusher Moonwalking.

Removing this would be a massive nerf to crushers and render them pointless in 90% of situations.

See, but here's the thing, crushers are supposed to be long ranged chargers. Barricades in close quarters are usually left up to boilers.

90% of the things you'd want to crush wouldn't work without short charging/L charging.

Long range charging for fighting is generally a massive tactical failure.

If we're going to nerf crusher utility, then it needs to have more hp or heavy armor on all sides.

That, or just build momentum faster.

That, or just build momentum faster.

It would still ultimately be a nerf.

1) short charging/L charging provides all sorts of cool techniques to learn

2) there is a sweet spot for momentum when it comes to crushing where you will break an object without self stun. Faster momentum build would make this tougher in combination with point 1.

If you can manage to get in position and build up a short/long charge, the marines deserve whatever they get out of it.

that's sitting exposed for so absurdly long that it's not even funny.

So many things nerfed already, now they want to take our crushers down a notch. Boilers are still limited to anything in there way blocks their shot. Small table that can be fired over, lol nope blocked. At least with the moonwalking I can clear a path. Already horrible that millions of those plasteel barricades that can't be destroyed block the way.
