The system still just doesn't work, there's nothing to stop someone from just walking in the opposite direction from you because they feel like it.

That is an animation of a sword already existing, the wrought iron sword.

LOL, no, that doesn't work.

Why not? Have you tried it since this patch? Low blow also allows you to hit people without stopping.

I tested it yesterday and it was pretty much the same, no way you're catching up to someone with it. Bleh said it was faster 2 days ago, so maybe it got nerfed on accident? Even if it was faster, in a real scenario there's going to be trees, animals, team-mates, other gankers to block it with. And it's really easy to just hit back or quick dodge an incoming jugular if you're just running in a straight line and not wasting cooldowns trying to fight back. In addition, if it gets interrupted the chaser gets even farther behind.

if jugular or whatever chasing moves end up making you gain ground, people are going to have to use them on their team-mates to run away too, and it'll probably be more effective because their team-mates are going to try and get the runners around the objects that'd stop jugular.

You're not going to kill someone with low-blow spam, they just need to change their direction slightly or throw a left hook behind to gain distance.

Running away is the most advantageous position, you keep yourself out of danger, while being able to decide any point when you want to coordinate hitting back. Which might work if the game's PVP becomes focused around objectives and defending them, sorta like meteorites/siege, but these aren't nearly enough. Then you could balance around creating scenarios where taking risks might be worth it, and you can balance in the combat what those risk scenarios are, so running away isn't always the best thing to do.

New hat is siiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiick. Good job.

i dont think itll be that huge of a problem imo if you remove speed buffs/credo movement speeds (increased speed running after critters +strider buff)
youll always have the same amount of distance to said target unless someone messes up drinking or clips himself.

The problem is you have to stand still to throw an attack that isn't low-blow, and those also knock your opponent back, creating massive distance just by trying to attack.
