Change lava design

@Sir_Named  I think he's specifically referring to the lava that runs through fragment, which you can float on. 

In this regard he is entirely right, it was advertised as being an escape route at the risk of damage, however it's a clunky slow deathtrap...if anything its actually more of a hazard than the actual lava elsewhere as like the OP stated you become target practice for any squad that see's you.

Movement becomes incredibly sluggish and slow whilst floating on it. They claimed it would deal around 25 damage to get across,however seeing as we seemingly dip below the ground level repeatedly when using it the damage is more along the lines of 50-75.  

It would be so much better if it just acted like the geyser vent.

Hey guys, to elaborate further on @CrazyPlays54's post, the initial"map changes" article has the following extra few lines, hopefully this provides enough context for the design choice. 

"The problem was, a fatal fall felt too punishing. The last thing we wanted was players avoiding the new map changes because they had an unfair experience.

Now, if you jump into the fissure that cuts through Capitol City you’ll slowly be carried back up from the heated, pressurized air, and allowed to coast across and land on the other side. This is balanced by two things. First, you take 25 damage from the intense heat and embers floating inside. This is a consistent amount of damage every time you drop back down. Second, you travel very slowly, in third person, while moving in the updraft. You are essentially a flying loot piñata for any nearby enemy players."

@CrazyPlays54 Good point, I popped in an edit for you.

Now you'll keep quiet if you know what's good for you!!!*

@CrazyPlays54  So yeah, back to the point, it's too slow, the movements flawed which causes more damage than it's meant to, making it no better than a fall to your death. 😉

I'll admit i was wrong about the escape part haha. 😛

Honestly if it had been a straight plummet to your doom that would've bothered me less, wattson would've had a real presence in central fragment, path wouldve had some scope for some great grapple grab kills like what we can do in parts of KC, and it would've just generally created a more unique playing environment central map.
