Assassin's air grapple

So, I hear an Assassin's cloak nearby and start to look for her, she misses with her grapple, I do a 180, turn to face her and I jump or jetpack or fly to get some space between us but she grapples again, drags me down and even though I was facing her I will most likely get back grappled. I wouldn't mind, if other classes could grapple airborne targets but the amount of times an Assassin (or any class) jumps and avoids every grapple. Also I'm pretty sure Assassins can grapple while themselves jumping, usually ending in a back grapple. Yeah sure the Assassin is the queen of grapples but it gets frustrating.

lag. nothing can be done about it.

The one truth about assassin is that... 75% of the time when you are facing them, they will get a backstab and 0% of the time when they are behind you they will get a face stab.

so long as you are not the assassin. the reverse is true if you are said assassin

Yeah, i NEVER grab people out of the air, trust me, i've tried lol, it's a well known lag issues

strangely i have (once) :shock:

Haha, it soooo feels that way, doesn't it?

I've grappled people in some ridiculously retarded ways. I've been grappled in some ridiculously retarded ways.

The most retarded grapple ever was one time I back grappled somebody on ammo mule when they were on the top of the up ramp to get up into the dome. I was off to the side, not on the ramp at all. It showed me doing my animation, and him doing his, at separate heights at the same time. It was lol.

A lag issue, fair enough.

its also the other way around.. if your playing an Assassin... you will notice COUNTLESS times where you back grapple an Enemy Pro.. and WOAH!! Its a front grapple and we end up dead. So really it's lag and noone should complain because it actually saves you sometimes.

I have seen a few Assassins trying to grapple me out of the air. It's even more funny that they are cloaked when the try to do it and my jump jets sets her on fire and she still jumps and tries to grab me.

Or you could fix the Internet, you lazy bastards.

Ah the best counter-argument.

I will say this is not true. I am inclined to believe that the Assassin air grapple is actually programmed into the game in order to make her grapples contact more. My reasoning for this is it happens when you're host. The host is never meant to be BSed by lag (at least connection lag, the host actually is supposed to get more framerate lag than others)

The air grapple happens to me all the time. I assume it's lag, but whatever.

Another annoying thing is when an assassin grapples me mid-charge (as an assault). Is this meant to happen or is this lag, too?
