Nerf their range (they outrange 1h)
Nerf their duration (they last longer than their animation)
Nerf their arc (oftentimes the foot does not hit but the kick lands)

I realise this thread has been made 50 times without any word at all from the devs, but hey, maybe this time will be the one :)

thanks, corsair

I grudgingly accept the range, but it ticks me off having to deal with invisible hitbox all the time.

Kicks are fine as they are right now and the most recent changes were reasonable. Unless you got really unlucky you could still block and avoid getting hit whilst kicking.
As of now if you actually anticipate a kick you WILL get a free hit on someone. The increase in range is the logical trade off for that. It's high risk high reward (Please spare me your complaints about how you think it's low risk high reward just because you continuously run into everyone's kicks because that's something you can change yourself)

really a 1h/shielder class has never been stronger and yet you still arent satisfied and ask a nerf for one of the rare counters to your class. Shamefur Dispray!!  :mrgreen:
And now he can't play because of "common sense" and he doesn't understand how this common sense works

The range and duration don't seem to be much different compared to before blocking was removed, but I have noticed that kicks now have this odd area-of-effect type of thing going where you can kick anyone that's in a ~45 degree cone in front of you. It's understandably frustrating to get 'kicked' when it looks like they missed, but I think it was a necessary change to compensate for not being able to block any more.

Also it's fun to be able to kick 2-3 tightly grouped people at once using my invisible octopus legs.
Legs are used for standing, walking, jumping, running, kicking, and similar activities.

I don't mind the range or the duration, but I feel that the arc and the ability to turn after hitting your kick has dumbed down kicks and takes away the skill from it.

Negga used to be a kick machine, I was always amazed at the kicks he would land. Now even I can land kicks fairly easily against a close target, and I SUCK. Seriously kicking now includes training wheels.

I believe the reason these threads always come up is the same reason people complain about 1h stabs, quite annoying and clearly broken in some manor(not completely, it just needs some tweaks), all 2h and pole classes have the same fighting style where they just engage and then backpedal, so you have no choice but to chase them and inevitably be kicked 3-4 times during your fight essentially ending your life with the skill-less kick, be honest with yourself kicking is on par with bump slashing, or hitting people who are knocked down.

They need to make the kicks time shorter(fix it somehow, idk) so that you stop running into kicks when they are already over, i hate when the leg is obviously retracting and you run into it and get stunned.  <--this is my complaint

Have to agree with corsair. Melee as a onehander is all about avoiding the annyoing kick spam nowadays... Very boring/frustrating, especially if you are using a short weapon. Give kicks a ~10 second cooldown, reduce their area of effect and they will be fine.

Sometimes I kick someone, clearly missing my target, then the kick somehow still lands but I fail to make a free hit because I didn't expect it, oh irony...

Kicks are far too easy to abuse. You can turn your camera while kicking and it can hit anyone in a 90 degree radius in front of you, forget whether or not the foot connects to an enemy. The foot can be retracting, and still stun the target. I'm all for giving them a nerf. At the moment they just seem to exist for the benefit of S-key heroes.

Why not just make kicks like they are in native?
