Cliff throws | Forums

So I am curious as to what the community thinks about environmental kills. Thanks for the info!

I don't mind environmental kills when the damn map/round isn't based around them. Those obnoxious narrow bridge maps just turn into a game of 'who can guard break first?' It's just too easy to score a cliff-kill when there's so many obvious opportunities for it and I say this as somebody who does it an awful lot himself.

If you aren't paying attention and stand near the edge you're going over.

in a 1v1/2v2 duel I try to avoid ledges.

in any other game mode where I have an objective or many people to kill, it's push or be pushed.

I will say this....

Watch your step.

when you get 3 vs 1ed on C of that one battlefield with 4 holes.

then you toss one down, shoulder bash the other down a hole and kill the 3rd legit ..*kappa*

The game has no ranked, so I play for the challenge and won't usually edge throw.

When ranked is released I'll take any kill I can get.

I try not to if I can help it but if I suspect they're lining up for the same thing I usually preempt that.

When I say this I don't mean I just go for the cliff throw but instead that I put myself into a position where a cliff throw is less possible or cannot be achieved with a single Guard Break or pushing ability and will see if they try for it. If they do I have no qualms about pushing people off the edge in a duel or a brawl. Dominion and Elimination is free for all for me since it is a race to eliminate enemies as fast a possible.

If you remove environmental kills, you remove an important part of the gameplay. Knowing how to position yourself is as important as using feints, and it deepens the game in terms of tactics.

No, environmental kills are dumb, considering they give an advantage to certain characters who are able to just take you off the map even if you have good positioning, aka the Warlord.

At least in duels and brawls.

Dominion environments kills are fine, maybe even skirmish.

But in the more "skilled" gamemodes, environments shouldn't give an advantage to a player. Those modes everyone should be on equal ground, only difference should be how the characters play and movesets.
