-1 This is a topic something I have debated with myself and I was thinking about bringing it up in LCR but I came to the conclusion that its just a meta people are going to have to get used to for 2 reasons.
-like supa said, removing something like KB swords that are so integrated into the vanilla game is just dumb
-even if you wanted to go through with removing KB swords how would you even go about it?
For example lets assume the debuff for zyre is that all KB swords only do KB 1 enchantments worth of knockback, why create a huge inconsistency for such a essential item, and how would the debuff transfer to wilds pvp? Would it be KB 1 or KB 2?
I 100% agree that it is a frusterating evolving meta but in this case not much to be done about it. The reason it was not a problem in the past was because only recently the majority of players no longer use thorns in fights.
For those who do not see the frusteration allow me to explain: The reason why its frusterating is because it allows good or bad players (mostly bad) to slip away from death with ease. Im sure most can relate but lets say you have been fighting someone or you see someone who is clearly low on pots and they pearl away so you pearl right after them but they just turn around and spam you with a kb sword and they have instantly created like 7 blocks of distance and you can not do anything because you are on pearl cooldown. Might not seem that bad in my explantion but keep in mind most terrain on loka is not just 100% flat so in most cases that KB sword is putting you down a cliff or something of the sort. That being said, I do not think it should be nerfed and I do not really think it can be nerfed good. Ty for listening to my Ted Talk.
