Seriously ledging is the most satisfying and fun thing to do in this game, but ubi keeps putting up barricades on all the ledges and blocking of pre-existing ledges. Why are they so insistent on ruining one of the core aspects to this type of fighting game?
Because its a cheap way to win. In 4v4 anything goes. Im all about ledges in Dominion or Breach but in Duels its just not cool. Drives me nuts when you get a player low health in a duel and they camp out by a ledge to try to get a cheap win. Now in 4's there's nothing more satisfying than flying in and ledging someone ganking a teammate. So that's my take. 4's do it all day long, Duels just don't do it.
Ledging doesn't show a lack of skill. If you get guard broken near a ledge, it's always your own fault. Kick moves are also some of the most fun ever; Tiandi or Aramusha booting an enemy off a ledge is honestly the most satisfying thing you can do. The only time it feels cheap is in 4v4. Getting ledged by a charging raider or lawbringer you didn't even know was there is annoying af.
