How to make knockback worse:

[Major_Decoy]

1) If your enemy doesn't get knocked back, you get knocked back instead.

 

2) Convert all damage to knock-back. No damage is done until the knocked back target stops moving. Damage is calculated by subtracting the distance traveled from the knockback potential distance.

 

3) Enemies effected by knockback are also allowed to clip through walls and floors.

 

4) Knock back direction is randomized.

 

5) Any time you defeat an enemy, all enemies around the target are knocked back instead of the target.

 

Choose two to implement.

Reading this post makes me feel like I walked into the punchline "....it's called 'The Aristocrats'!!" without any build up.

This is hilarious! This should be an April Fools Day mission where all the enemies are KB resistant and upon entry to the mission all your attack powers now do KB regardless of set so every single attack you make has the chance to send you flying! Oh and its on that really tall map with the catwalks all over so when you get KBd you fall like 5 stories!

Unresistable ally knockback? It has promise.

I would not want to combine option three with too many of the others.

Oh look, it's a "discussion" thread over in the General forum. 🤣

How about every time you move a few feet in the game by any means- even teleport, you have a 50% chance to be knocked back that same distance, and each time you get knocked, there is a 25% chance everyone else in the game also gets knocked, and each time any of them get knocked, for each of them is a 10% chance of a random knock occuring to 20% of all players online, in 5 to 10 minutes, and if this occurs, the players get knocked across the room in real life.

The topic is "How to make Knock-back worse"

 

Edit: Also, I'm not sure how developers would implement this.

So you think my suggestion would be improving it?

With enough knockback?  Yes.
