About Shadowstep (spell)

[Sbkzor]

Hi,

I was wondering if this was legit that you cant even do an action on someone when you sstep him if he has his back to the walls.
so you can sstep him, but you cant do any action.
Is that really the way it's supposed to be ? cuz there are so many lil abuse about it that are pretty gay.
for example stepkicking a guy , the kick doesnt find the player, so he finishes his cast. which is pretty boring, cuz it's like u're not facing ur opponent when u step him, isn't it weird? (just lost 2 game to warsham cuz of dat, I feel like these kick had to be successful)

just asking

When ShS can't place you behind the target - it places you on your target's position. This part is 100% correct. AFAIK, when you and your target are on the same position and facing same direction - the game doesn't consider it as "you facing your opponent". You need to turn around to be able to use any abilities. What kind of little abuses you mean?) Like don't let your opponent to hit you from behind?)

like just a step kick not landing for the thing u previously explained, it just mess a step, allows fakes, or just make it late (cuz that extrasecond when u realize ur kick doesnt work is important).
that's what i call "abusing" even if it is 100% well scripted according to you.

Sbk, you should know that if you try casting a spell Immediately after you ShS, more often than not it misses, whatever it is. It's been like this ever since ShS came out as the last Sub talent

Scratch that - that's only after a blink or a similar spell. I'm an idiot

@Sbkzor smart use of normal game mechanics =/= abuse :) It's pretty much same as casting sw:d to break CCs, nothin else)

Being smart and being lame is different. Sometimes i agree, it is pretty hard to define.
Deathblind is smart, fake stepkick is smart, intercepting a blind/kick is smart.
Being somehow backing the wall to be passively juking other players isnt 'smart' imho (or at least it isnt as smart as a preshot, if u absolutely wanna claim that it is smart..). It is much more being a lamer/tryhard for me. For the representation i have about this game.and general skill... but well i know it isnt easy to still be smart after all these years on warcraft. Thats only my bad to not notice that i guess :>
