Game Balance Discussion / nudge and shield drop animations
« on: September 07, 2014, 06:48:24 am »
there are a few animations that have been abused for a little while that I think need to be addressed.
1. if you are using a shield and use a quickdrop key to drop you shield and then swing it only shows the second part of the animation, the release animation, and only allows a split second to block. it is so small that it is unblockable due to some people's pings.
2. if you nudge with a shield and switch weapons then swing it doesn't have a draw animation to keep the person from swinging. it also allows to only show the release animation if timed right.
Edit: IMO the nudge and shield drop animations need to be tweaked so that neither of these are possable.
