(Made by B_WDaredevil) Main problem with grabs imo
effort 1.5 4 quality 1.75 4 reasonability 2.2 5

As has been disclaimed in the topic, this is not my suggestion, it was made by @B_WDaredevil and was made into a suggestion by me at their request. Consult them if you have any questions or criticism.

Grabs in AO does not really feel rewarding and this is because you can easily be endlag punished after landing a grab.
Problem
Lets say you grabbed someone, great right? Well once you grab someone you should be able to start a combo but nah they get no endlag from getting grabbed and can start firing at you the same way as before like nothing happened.
Proposal
A proposal that i have is that to make grabs feel rewarding is to make grabs give 1.5 seconds of endlag to the person that was grabbed this will effectively remove the risk of grabs making you take unnecessary damage and make them a combo starter (even though they are meant to be)
This will also make getting hit after you grabbed him your fault and not the endlag’s fault

I decided to make this because i am frustrated at grabs just being able to be punished so easily :skull:

Writers note: Holy shit. I copied and pasted a simple suggestion to make it a proper suggestion and went to sleep. What in the everloving shit did you guys do? Can’t I leave you alone for eight hours?

the proposal lacks depth

then rate one for quality. Don’t know if you go illiterate or stupid when reading suggestions

Then ping daredevil and say that to him

weren’t these previously removed for being unfair?

I hope daredevil remains blind to this hatred :pensive_face:

oh shit youre right i forgot to do that @B_WDaredevil mb

i put a 1 for effort because it lacks a large enough body to convince me why this is well and truly needed, for example certain grabs will send you in certain directions or how where you enter from into the grab matters when were talking about where your opponent lands, but yet the suggestion fails to recognise such a thing, or how we have grab that doesn’t move you forwards (snare) and one that is a projectile

i put a 1 for quality because the suggestion lacks depth

i put a 1 for reasonability because i disagree with the suggestion

if you think that’s harsh don’t take my words seriously and feel free to ignore me, i’m just voicing what i honestly think

Just tell the people sending you suggestions to format them better. This happens literally every time.

this is a really good point, even simply writing more to convince the reader why your suggestion could be considered goes a long way

I did say it but he didn’t send me anything

the fact you don’t understand what’s wrong with this sentence is truly baffling

Then deny sending the suggestion if they actively and intentionally refuse to make it any good lol

conciseness is a skill, the ability to ramble isn’t

ok the concept of the suggestion is good but 1.5s???
have you ever pvp’d in you life thats like you lose after being hit by a single grab.
maybe if the knockback option is turned off or it could apply to some finishers

my sincerest apologies for having my own opinion on the state of a part of a game feature :skull:

never said it had to be ramble, the post isn’t concise :sob:
did you like read this

@Charlie_Turnip stuff like this being in the main post would’ve improved it ygm?

eh, i think its not on blue fighter
if he thought that B_WDaredevil thought it was fine then he could post it.
esp if he just took it at surface level without much experience with yknow grabs, because it does explain the thought process even if it is kidna surface level

reasonability to add a game feature has nothing to do with your opinion. Your opinion is actually never supposed to impact your rating of a suggestion. It can affect your reply, but none of the categories call for your subjective view of the feature

let me put this in some words which you’ll understand so i can stop replying to you
i think this suggestion is low effort
i think this suggestion is not reasonable
i think this suggestion is low quality
stop being a bellend genuinely man idk why you’re going at me :sob:

yeah, so I guess they don’t teach critical thinking in schools

This suggestion is not reasonable as grabs currently exist to cancel the moves of opponents and I believe it does its job just fine.
Aside from that I believe this suggestion just lacks an actual interesting depth or description and fails to account for how this feature may be cheesed.
