The nudge kick combo was extremely overpowered. Anyone with the competence to hit v and e in a rapid succession would be able to immediately get a free hit on their opponent. It could be used defensively, offensively, however. It broke rank duels for a while- several people used the combo repeatedly in order to get in positions they didn't deserve. It wasn't just duels it was abused on, siege and battle suffered greatly from the abuse. People who normally were skilled on their own and found the meta proceeded to skyrocket to the top of the scoreboards, decimating all those who were unlucky enough to get within the reach of the nudge. It's stupid, leave it out.
