 Post subject: Blade Stop stops arrows...how? |
 |
|
Okay so I'm sure we've all seen it. Sniper unloading a hail of arrows into players when suddenly...a champ, of steely resolve and extreme badassery walks up, stares the sniper down and demands the sniper shoots at him...
The sniper, being the hotshot he is, does just that, ONLY TO FIND HIS ENTIRE BODY FROZEN IN FEAR...He can no longer shoot! He just saw the champ, with BLINDING SPEED, snatch his arrow right from the air, like from some sort of kung fu movie...
No but in all honesty, why on earth does blade stop work on Snipers? Or bow stalkers? I mean really? Yes, I can see them stopping ONE arrow, maybe TWO, because ya know...he's got two hands, but EVENTUALLY He'll run out of hands, and have to start catching arrows with his face and/or chest.
I mean...if the story above was the case, okay, I'll take it.
But really, why? How does Blade Stop, manage to successfully lock up a sniper, whose in the middle of unloading a hail of arrow fire into the champ and all he cares about?

Mind over matter is one thing, but mind over HAIL OF POINTY STICKS OF PAIN AND AGONY, is a whole 'nother ordeal.

The idea that you can shoot an infinitum of arrows at the speed of sound isn't just as ridiculous? |

That's also not the argument in question.
The Monk can stop someone on a spiritual level, using Root. That's why you can't let go of the sword he stopped, or continue firing arrows when the monk catches one.
You could use skills, they can't Root those. |

Oh I don't claim that it is any less silly or insane, but on the sheer merit of what blade stop does.

I mean you can argue the technicality that he catches the attacker with his mind, yes, but from the tiny skill icon it looks as if the skill is intended that the user "catches" the blade/arrow with his hand.

So, are you saying you wanted it changed?
Because that won't happen.
I would wager my life on it.
Or are you complaining that something is magical, in a game where a man can summon God-damned demons and monsters from sticks, simply by breaking them?
I don't understand the point of this post. Should'a put it in the chit-chat section.
And there's a hand in the icon because he's a Monk. He fights with his hands. How many Bow or Arrow icons do you see in the Assassin's wardrobe of skills? |

I have argued this in the past, but I am with Mono: Luzz would not change it aside from gunpoint. It is official, it is a game, it doesn't have to make sense. I do not wish to appear rude, but to simply put it -It is what it is.-
However! I am going to wager that the mind aspect of it is what they are intending.(That is to say, IF... they are trying to be realistic in a sense.)
