    Ledging; suggestion.

    I believe that when a person attempts to charge-ledge someone, if they dodge it, the would-be ledger should run off the cliff unless manually stopped.

    That seems like a pretty fair fix, to a game ending ability that has nearly no risk, at least not in comparison to its reward.

    Can you imagine how many people would slip off of ledges if Ubi added that risk? People tunnel vision enough as it is during combat, but it would be hilarious to see my opponent fall to his death after dodging away from me.

    Honestly, I'd not be opposed to this. Ledges are some of the most dangerous things in the game, and it always sucks when a Lawbringer or Warlord can chargerush you off a ledge, and while you go falling to your doom, they stop and stagger in place like they've hit a barrier.

    Bonus idea: You can still charge people off ledges, but unless you're careful, you both might go over the edge. Imagine running kamikazi style at the last enemy as a Lawbringer, impaling them and sending both of you over the ledge in a suicidal final attack? That'd be cool. Plus, it would make the risk/reward of ledging a little more fair. Yes, you can instantly kill somebody by charging them off the ledge, but time it wrong, or miss, and you could end up going over instead. Alternatively, you could still kill the enemy, but at the cost of your own life.

    I mentioned this idea a while back, and it was ignored. Completely.

    I would totally do something like that. Straight up go over the edge and kill both myself and my opponent.

    I have ledged myself using the Shinobi's trip.

    I have too. Hilarious karma for trying to knock a teammate off of the Temple balcony only to slide off myself.

    I would love to see this.... Shinobi's slide used to send him flying off the edge when he first came out.

    I like this idea but I have another as well.
    We could add that if you press like O or Square right after an opponent throws you that you will grapple to them so they move the same amount you do so if you fall off a lege so do they. Mind you it’s a very small window like as soon as the push animation needs and is only like 200-300 milliseconds. I think that if they did this as well as your thing to leggings were if a charge is dodged the opponent would just fall off it would make legging punishable for everyone. And there for we would start to see less of it I think and some more honorable combat.
