This is a repost (to get more attention, sry) as I think the post fit here maybe better. The original post is: https://forums.playdeadlock.com/thr...or-ends-causing-unexpected-interaction.32862/
The change of using space to fly higher causes two immediate issues.
The first issue is that if you are jumping and holding space at a place where you can climb, then immediately active Flight before you can touch the wall/edge, you will touch the climbable edge and perform a wall climb animation. This will render the player standing at the climbed surface and not flying, and the ability immediately goes into cooldown, then die or lose a crucial team fight because of no cooldown. This is an unexpected interaction and is very frustrating.
The solution is just to fix it so that when performing a Flight you never do a wall climb.
The second issue is that if you are holding space while the Flight is about to end, and there is a zip line nearby, you will instantly perform a zip line ride once the duration goes out. This will cause players to be shot down and stunned, then die. This is an unexpected interaction and is very frustrating.
The solution is to require the player to release space and perform another zip line ride attempt by holding space again.
Bonus issue: Touching ground shouldn't end flight anyway. This is an unexpected interaction. When you are in the tunnel / stair and active Flight, not only you can't touch ground as it will immediately end the Flight and makes is into cooldown, but the initial flying up momentum also causes Vindicta to bounce at the ceiling and force you to touch the ground sometime.
Vindicta can't take unsecured soul orbs after kills without risking a cooldown of Flight because of this, too. This ruins her economic and solo playing experience, and is unfair to Vindicta players and is very frustrating.
The solution is to always require manually canceling Flight and don't check whether she is touching the ground to end it in any way.
