RIP Jumping

[HyperDan]

Great job valve, you managed to fuck up jumping.
RIP BOUNCE
RIP SPEEDSHOT
RIP WALLPOGO
RIP SYNC
RIP POGO
RIP CTAP

The launch speed from explosions is the same independent of how far away the blast radius is

[HyperDan]

Which one are you talking about here?

For speedshot, I can just aim higher to get one, but it's harder now.
Sync - I can't do any higher then a double, but im working on a quint on Sketchy2 to see if it's possible.

[Howcroft]

If anyone finds a fix please do tell. :/

The launch speed from explosions is the same independent of how far away the blast radius is

Rockets are somewhat like concussion grenades now, more blast force the further away you are.

[CyanBoterham]

So what does this mean for existing maps?
Also i didnt see any changes to rockets in the patch notes?

[BQE]

I read the update notes and didn't see anything that directly affected jumping. 

edit: I cannot wall climb, what the fuck valve.

[Treynolds416]

what the fuck, this makes me so mad
There's like absolutely no reason why rocket jumping had to be changed. Even if the update is focused for a future competitive mode, this is still garbage

We can just pray it's a bug or something since it wasn't in the patch notes

[RNC1839]

I really hope this is a bug.

Because if it isn't this would be a nerf way worse than what they did to the demo a few months back, the largest aspect of both of those classes is mobility.

Also the fact that this change to the way explosions work isn't documented anywhere that I can find both pisses me off and makes me just that little bit more hopeful that it's a bug.


Someone start a petition, that actually seemed to work last time.

[John]

Okay what the fuck why does this happen when I'm in Japan.

Probably a bug tho, sounds like a fuck up when fixing the battalion's backup.

Created an account for this exact reason
Someone capable of coming up with a good description of the exact changes that have happened should write up a change.org petition. I'd be glad to do it myself, I'd just rather someone who can make a more thorough explanation do it. I'll still help out and share it as much as I can.

[Afterglow]

Classic valve tbh.

[Lambda]

Looks like game has less gravity, maybe valve broke something.

[ReMaXeD]

Where were you when valve killed jumping? ...again
