Corner boost set ups don't work anymore

[Vorips]

Like the title says, majority of corner boost set ups just straight up don't work anymore, the thin ad posters and those waist high fences if you try an do the set up onto them your hero will just mantle up and stand on them, effectively nerfing corner boosting to the ground. I don't know if it's a bug or if it was intentionally removed but it does neuter a lot of skill expression.

I dont know if they intended to remove it completely but they did change something specifically to reduce corner boosting. There is a lot in patch notes so its kind of buried.

From the patch notes under [Movement]:

- Changes to Wall Jump behavior have reduced the effectiveness of "Corner Boosting" a bit.

yeah reduce EFFECTIVENESS and A BIT, those are keywords, not completely take out set ups from the game . Corner boosts worked just fine yesterday, yeah it wouldn't lunch you that high, but the set ups themselves were still functional, you can still corner boost but there's no point if it takes 20 minutes to do it.

EDIT: before you'd approach the fence, light melee then jump, this would make your character vault the fence and fall on the other side giving you a perfect set up for the corner boost, now if you try and do that it'll put you on top of the fence, same with the ad boards, you'd vault over and your character would just fall on the other side, setting you up for a corner boost.

so the boards in mid and under buff arnt boosting at all? Maybe its a timing thing? what ever they changed now requires a different timing to boost?

also, small tweeks to variables in a game engine can often have massive outcomes so who knows what they mean or wanted from this.
