New Tech? Fast Fall IAD on jungle creeps?

[Xillia]

Is this tech known? I IAD'ed and I fast fell on top of the jungle creep and got a TON of speed .If it's not discovered, I'm calling it the Rat Slide

My post on Twitter about it

I don't think that has anything to do with the jungle creep (I'm pretty sure they don't have collision)
It's just the leftover impulse from your airdash interacting and redirecting your down dash velocity.

I did some testing and it works! Thank you for pushing me to test this. It's fun to lab this game.

It's called the Rat Dive if no one has seen this!

On further testing: It does go a further distance than normal IAD'ing but it goes overall faster to the same direction. From my testing, it's REALLY good in alleys. You can basically go really fast, really quick.

It does consume a lot of stamina but I can see this being really good in the walker areas where there are long stretches on road with a lot of sidewalks.

For the Jungle Creep boost, the Rat Dive could be useful in preplanned routes.

It seems good! Just situationally good

Probably an underexplored shiv tech, since he can redirect the momentum without wasting dash, but it seems hard to do, and if you fuck up you die, cause you down dash into place.

what is an IAD and how can i do this myself?

It used to be that doing this and getting movespeed was the same. However, a movement global nerf happened, making IAD useful.

IAD stands for Instant Air Dash. Basically, you jump, and then you IMMEDIATELY dash to the side. Deadlock, like Valve games, work quite nicely if you move in tangent. Be it Shiv's shotgun blasts with vents or shotgun sliding or wall jumping (90 to the direction you wanna go, whatever side to influence to it), strafing with Holiday's jumpad, Celeste movement, vent starfing, even Viscous' slope acceleration (https://forums.playdeadlock.com/threads/viscous-cube-slope-momentum-bug.107094/), you name it.

Whatever you do, do NOT hold w/s. It's like with TF2/CS/Gmod. You will KILL momentum doing that way.

The video that Reporting Bugs sent is really great! It does take practice tho. Have fun learning it!

Anytime! Check out leaf and Deadlock wiki movement. Just a little testing (20-1 hour, in fact, 2) is enough to improve massively. Then in game, you will start practising it, mid game as well.
