Incorrect Knockback Direction from Bats and Balls

[supple quiver]

In the game, using bats and balls on other contestants is supposed to hinder their progress. However, when I hit them, instead of being pushed backward (away from the finish line), they get pushed forward which often is helping them reach the finish line faster. This makes the weapons counterproductive.

Indeed. Sometimes I would get smacked with a bat in RLGL but it actually helped me most times.

This is fair. But it all comes down to strategy I suppose. Nonetheless, I’d love this but it may be difficult to realistically develop for the game.

What do you mean? There is no strategy that’ll help me if I dodge ball a player but instead of moving back, he is pushed forward (against the direction of the hit).

The strategy is if they are closer to the finish line then you are then obviously don’t bat at them. If the developers even decide to add that as an option you still have to have some sort of strategy. That’s why they’re called “games”. You don’t just play them to play. There is always an end goal even if it’s just for the laugh of it.

That’s a fair point. But sometimes the way bats and balls work in the game is weird. I understand that if someone is knocked it should push them in a outward direction. But especially at the finish line when I’m already in, where a hit should push the others outward they are pushed inwards into the finish line

Did you read what I said? You may be a bit slow. I’m talking about dodge ball pushing players in the opposite direction to the hit. I always reach finish line early, and when I dodge ball players from inside the finish line, they get pushed forward instead of getting pushed back.

Ya mama. Cry about it elsewhere and try not to hit players over the finish line in the meantime.

Hitting players after the finish line is one of the best parts of this game imho lol

I’ve seen both… where you get knocked back if standing still (or forward depending on ball direction), and continuing to move forward when running forward. I think this is to make the game more realistic. After all a dodge ball isn’t going to stop you in your tracks and knock you back if you are running forward. I think they went with the ball stunning the player who still stumbles forward and then comes to a stop.

To me it only seems bugged

No, I derive the most fun out of this game by killing players before they reach finish line. I even prefer that over winning.
