    I've about had enough of Assaults and Tanks charging me into oblivion because I flew in some random direction that defies all known and unknown laws of physics.

    Please refer to the completely unnecessary demonstration below.

    A = Assault
    M = Me

    [Edge of Arena] A______M

    Now by this diagram you can see that the Assault is standing near the edge, looking at me. I am within charge distance.

    [Edge of Arena]A------>M

    The Assault has now charged me.

    M [Edge of Arena]______A

    What the hell is this? Why do you somehow fly over the Assault and get rung out? Why don't you fly opposite the direction of the charge? As in...

    [Edge of Arena] A------>M
    [Edge of Arena]________A_______M

    Why doesn't this^ happen? I think it's incredibly stupid that you can fly in any random direction, as if the charge itself isn't stupid enough.

    I've had it happen to me a few times that when I jump and the charge hits me, I go straight up in the air and land back where I started :shock:

    Lag.
    It happens to me 90% percent of the time.

    I find the snipers grapple just as bad. I know it's my own fault for getting caught but when lag dictates my back grapple is a face grapple, countered by a crazy throw direction... :evil:

    I've only noticed it happen to assassins and because of that I say 'Oh well.'

    It is rather frustrating.... I have had it happen with every class. Typically it is because I jump, and then I get charged. I kind of "bounce" of the pro, and that sends me in a random direction.

    Momentum... apparently physics don't exist in the future.
