Honestly, who the fuck thought this was a good idea? It's the cheesiest bullshit in the entire game. Oh no, the carrier bumped into you once? Guess you can't move anymore or run or do anything other than die.
It's a complete exploit, it makes no sense and it's bullshit. And yes, this thread is fueled by salt (because this is one of THE worst "Features" in the entire game)
Thing is, it doesn't really stop what it was intended to stop.
Crushers still get body blocked reliably.
Ravagers didn't need this feature as they have super speed if mutators were done correctly, so Ravagers abuse this feature by pushing into you once then hiding behind your body while swiping you, making it so no one can help you and you can't move away to dodge.
Prae's do something similar to this.
Boiler? If your body blocking a boiler, the boiler is already dead unless it has its spray off cooldown.
It would be better if Crusher, when 0 or low momentum, does no stun and very minor damage (like 5 brute) while punting you to the side, and then this feature can be removed.
For the love of god delete it already
It doesn't even do what its supposed to. It doesn't stop body blocking. If you wanted an actual Anti Body Block feature than the crusher would just shove marines out of the way the same way it does to other Aliens.
Right now when you play a T3 you can just bump into people for free stuns and they can literally do nothing against it. Even if they could theoretically run away, as soon as the alien touches you once its game over.
This isn't even communicated well. It feels like a god damn bug.
What anti-bodyblock feature is this exactly? Is it some recent update?
Any "large" mob that bumps into you reduces your movement speed. Its basically like walking over sticky so you can't run, dodge or do much of anything once a "big" aliens bumps into you.
Ohh, that feature, I was thinking of something that actually stopped you in place if you were bumped. I've never had it make a massive impact on gameplay really.
Then you haven't played enough. I deliberately bump into marines as a big alien just so I can cheese them because its dirt easy.
Let's not forget that Carriers and Hivelords probably have this ability too since they're still massive. This means that a Carrier can combine anti-body block and combat hugging to just stop you from running and then down you forever.

That's literally what every effective carrier does. It runs in so it can bump you and then its GG for you. You can't move anymore making it hilariously easy to combat hug people.Originally Posted by FGRSentinel
But I want the devs to understand that its cancerous for any xeno to have this ability. Its a cheese fest that doesn't do what its supposed to do. Body block still happens anyways.
