Monsters using the corner trick
« on: November 23, 2010, 14:35 »

I keep being attacked by monsters i can't see. They use the corner trick! Yes, the monsters are abusing glitches! I just got instakilled by a Baron at 38% (AoMC) who was out of sight. This needs fxed, as i've been killed by formers on AoMC due to being confused over the corner trick.

Haha, that glitch is so epic abused, even monsters do it. :D
Yeah it really needs to be fixed. Only thing I fear, is that monsters might need to be nerfed then, because since most players abuse that glitch they play it unfair, making em stronger against monsters than they ought to be, causing Kornel to make the monsters stronger too.
If so, hope this wouldn't take too much effort...

Honestly I think it is fair. So line of sight works the same way for both sides, if the player knows this they should be able to avoid it most of the time.

I'm fairly certain this is among the shooting/sight fixes that Kornel either has worked out or figured out for the next version. Meaning it'll affect monsters and players all the same.

If I know what kind of corner they're abusing, though, this doesn't affect the general use of the tactic. You'll still be able to shoot them as they approach the wall stupidly. (Or hell, maybe they'll be able to attack you over there from now on. WHO KNOWS?)
