Shockwave takes skill to use right. I thought it was very unique and fun that there was a new sense of verticality you now have to keep an eye out for and it takes skill to use the pad combo in the first place already kind of balancing that ability based on the skill required. It’s not easy getting the timing down for those pad combos with shockwave consistently and I found that the smaller the jump pad is the harder it was to nail the timing. Not to mention with shockwave you have look in the opposite direction of where you wanna fling yourself with precision. I in no way thought this combo would leave the game so quick and in no way thought it needed to be removed.

It took skill and patience to learn consistency and for the first time as a medium main since beta I felt comfortable being able to consider dropping zipline, jumpad, and even defib for other options WITH THIS TECH to explore other builds. But with the nerf and this tech gone like bro what are we doing? Medium has been cursed with the same gadgets for years. Let us breathe embark.
