That's accidental though

Platforms don't dunk though?
If you put a platform and someone is below it there's a big chance you die from it
It's a bug
maiden nacelle
I've never had it happen and I spam platforms 
balmy pawn
It's a bug
Is it really a bug though? There is a giant fan under the platform; makes sense it would also dunk anyone under it via air pressure.
What you call a bug is 'clearly just an innovative use of sandbox mechanics in a unique circumstance'.

Oh is dunking bad? BRALL Should dunking not happen? BRALL You should have just dodged the potential for a platform dunk. BRALL!
Okay sarcasm aside I agree that shouldn't happen. Dunking is bad enough as is. We don't need more of it.

my ally killed me with a platform yesterday lol
also i feel like the hate on dunking is super misdirected atp like i never remember dunking being such a problem before all of the recent changes that are the actual problem with the game
removing dunking is such a bandaid fix

removing dunking is such a bandaid fix
There was an OB patch where the entire meta was Brall/Jin running awau from you anr dunking you the secind you crossed abyss bc their mobility was even higher than it is now. The new map exacerbates the issue but Dunking had always been a problem in one way or another on hyper-mobile hunters.

uhhh, i remember that being because with revival you could chase one squad endlessly to farm red armor/items day 1
and then roll the lobby
due to revival
moreso than the dunking
split frost
You're thinking of the resurgence patch I think
split frost
I can't remember specifically when the one I'm referring to was but I believe it was around feb/march
nimble pebble
was that not the resurgence patch?
split frost
The worst part was them perma running away for free, the dunks are what made them unpunishable in that patch
Kind of exactly what the issues are now
nimble pebble
yeah to some degree
i dont think bralls dunk in particular is very problematic
at the current moment
thats the only dunk character that i feel mostly fine fighting in the abyss, and when i get dunked by brall it usually feels like it was avoidable in some way
if not directly, then by making some other decision beforehand
round knoll
dunking SHOULDNT be a problem but the best way to explain it is power creep
Longer ttk
100x more abyss
Glider changes to lmb spiking when abyss fighting
all jus lead to dunking gaining power
nimble pebble
yeah but dunking nerfed means were just going to be complaining about strong ranged characters in the abyss now instead
round knoll
yeah but dunking nerfed means were just going to be complaining about strong ran...
Is this is reference to dunking being dead after the nerf?
nimble pebble
Is this is reference to dunking being dead after the nerf?
yes
round knoll
will it be dead?
nimble pebble
i mean ranged characters will be much more dominant over the abyss
and then maybe people realize that dunking wasnt the problem
its the map
i also wonder if melee characters will start abusing the eplat bug to "dunk" people
split frost
I actually think dunking will still be very strong. Forcing someone to glide near the abyss floor is crazy value.
Kingpin/Jin will suffer the most for sure
But Brall and Tetra will be completely fine. Both have too much damage as is
round knoll
tetra nerf when? 😳
yeah i think the biggest nerf would jus be to the kp hook dunk
nimble pebble
But Brall and Tetra will be completely fine. Both have too much damage as is
i think tetra will be fine, but not because shell be strong in the abyss
tetra doesnt rlly have much damage over the abyss to punish someone gliding at the floor i think
split frost
I think that's a fine thing. Her strength lies in zone control on land. Being strong over abyss doesn't really make sense with her kit
nimble pebble
but shes giga strong on land and this change will probably deemphasize mobile melee characters abusing the abyss for spacing
yeah agreed
her dunk was pretty hard to actually land over the abyss proper anyway
minus the grabby combo
obviously
it was mostly a tool for camping edges
@split frost do you agree that it kind of feels like theyre just creating a mess to bandaid over that the new map is bad?
because i really feel like the dunking change is not going to really fix much
split frost
I'm actually in the minority that likes the new map. Maybe there's a bit too much abyss in some locations, but overall I really like it
I do understand that's an unpopular opinion on this discord
nimble pebble
i think that maybe it could be okay
i feel like theres way too many circles that are genuinely 95% abyss
like i dont even think the lava baron spawned in a game i played yesterday because there was no valid location

People are already doing this was the point of my post! Happened to me and a buddy 3x last night alone, people are spamming eplats in hopes of a free kill lol. Even brall and jin have windups on their dunks, eplat is instant

yeah it doesnt go to the very edge of the map anymore
but areas of like 95% abyss within the outer edges of the map are fair game

i mean people are going to start doing grabby eplat if this doesnt get fixed
i assume its unintended but not exactly a bug either
split frost
Yeah probably unintended aggressive use but the kill might be intended fir whichever reason. My money is on either it's there to be funny when you kill a friend (it is), or it's there from an early stage if development where they didn't want to figure out people getting stuck inside it until later.

EPlat shouldn't be the answer. The map needs to be tightened up badly. 500g tax to function in dunk meta is so lame
split frost
Eplat is a bandaid fix while we're waiting in the dunk changes
I would expect it to be remived from shop next patch
nimble pebble
i dont think the dunk changes make the excessively empty areas any less boring
vast hearth
Need map changes. Dunk changes do not fix anything
