People exploiting reverse knockback...

Pretty disappointing that streamers are encouraging this broken abuse.

Steelmage, Ziz, etc all doing it.

Hopefully GGG patches this garbage out asap. It's ruining the economy

You must really hate other people having fun if you sit here and post the same complaint minutes apart. Also why are you calling it abuse? Is getting so much DPS that you instakill bosses also considered abuse? What about lab runners who are so fast they run by enemies with phasing before they even get attacked? What about heist builds who don't kill and only use walls/minions to block them from being damaged? What about Delvers who stack so much life gain on hit they can live in the darkness while hunting loot?

Every mechanic has builds specifically built to take advantage of the weakness. It is called min/maxing. Are you complaining about the people who have builds dedicated to sanctum farming and are coming out with 8-10 divs per sanctum? Quit being so dramatic and just go play the game and have fun and stop letting the way other people play the game ruin your fun.

The issue is that this is possible by any character, just by equipping a few gems, i.e EVERYONE is now doing it.

EVERYONE is now making 10-20 divines per hour.

It's too early in the league for the economy to be totally ruined. This isn't about people having fun, it's about the economy being ruined by literally printing of currency. It's an exploit. Plain and simple and it WILL be nerfed, I just hope it's going to be a urgent hotfix.

Im not - in fact I never heard of this strategy until you broadcasted it.

Thanks!

I just finished some matches.
The opposing team also uses knockback, stun and walls to get past me and my allies, so I guess using knockback is an approved tactic.

For literal years now I've been pushing for Empire's Grasp reverse knockback Chain Hook to get a buff.

Now it's got its buff, and it's an "exploit" ?

SMH my head!
:P

You guys cry about everything. Apparently using tools already in the game is exploiting now. No wonder games nowadays are hollow, unfun, controlled shells.

Just delete the fing gems from the game if you're not supposed to use them.

Also, this is no different from lab / heist / delve / blight.

hit the nail on the head. This was icefrogs philosophy in dota and the game was a blast back then
