Changes I Discovered While Playing 🥴
So I just recently started reading patch notes cuz I was discovering some changes that would effect me in game. Some of which got me killed lol. Here's things I found before I started keeping up wi...

@Lord_Scorpion34 You can thank the pros for the out of bounds changes as they were the ones abusing them with Valk. Honestly all were good changes. You shouldn't be able to use the OB for special abilities and strategies.
- @hayhor
There are many, many high spots on KC that used to be allowed and are now no-go. I would have to think longer about it to be sure, but it seems wrong to make these spots out-of-bounds because Valks & Pathfinders are using their abilities to... do what their abilities were designed to do. Which is to say, reach high spots. And it isn't as if there aren't many other legends who can now respond directly to those capabilities. Not to mention the KC jump towers which allow anyone to be a Valk temporarily. So what line is it that these pros are crossing that we're saying they've moved beyond merely using a map feature to their benefit?- @reconzero ALGS tournaments teams out of zone were valk ulting onto OB, tossing their gibby/caustic ults and then jumping down onto the team below. I remember teams would follow each other, meaning one team would do it early, then as they wiped the team that was in position another team would do it to them.
The other way they used it is teams with horizon and valk combos would horizon queue to an OB high spot and then they would valk ult from that spot, getting much more height and distance from the ult.
On KC they provided a lot more access to high spots just like they did with trainyard on WE. I remember a time when only path could get to the hanging cars.They also shadow nerfed some of the more annoying KC heights, lowering rocks and such near containment/ the river.
- @hayhor I can't agree with that lol because if someone does a bad jump on a huge OOB area you're done. Rig had some great fights on that platform. They could've just made the changes for ALGS if it was that big of an issue.
I died last night as Valk cuz I guess I was OOB for 7 secs & didn't remember ulted onto a rock formation as I was the only one alive & trying to find a good spot. As soon as I saw the timer I jumped but I died while falling to the ground cuz I was too high up!?
Like if I've already jumped off I should be back in bounds.@Lord_Scorpion34So you abused the the oob multiple times in a match and died. But that's the games fault even though it gives you a big timer on the screen. 🤣
What Rig are you talking about?
- @hayhor I didn't abuse it. Landed there for 7 secs by mistake & hopped off. 2nd time the place I was landing was full of enemies so I diverted & landed on this huge plateau to figure out where to go next. I quickly saw I had only 8 secs so I jumped then died while FALLING.
