Mara Pull Untouched???

I personally find the choppa pull way worse because it often works through walls, floors, etc. Not to mention its idiotic they have a pull anyways.

choppa pull is 25ft

Mara pull was fixed a longtime ago since it would only check on the start of the pull and not at the end of it. It now checks for range before the pull. It's 65 feet or "the target is out of range". Latency affects all abilities.

Hi Panzer,

The explained fix you give isn't fixed. A simple example would be pulled from off of walls. That isn't a latency issue. It speaks directly to distance (and height obviously). I play both sides. Mara pulls being amok is it is widely recognized to the point it doesn't seem controversial at all. This is why the complete lack of any action or statement by the Powers related to the MDPS rework is so curious.

mara pull doesn't need change tbh. after the range check changes from a couple years ago and shifting it to disrupt avoidance check it's not so hard to play around unless you put yourself in a position where you make yourself an easy target. HtL from tanks makes it disrupt almost every time, taunt can interrupt it, CC can interrupt it (RP stagger, land mine, KD), positioning properly with nearby LoS or at specific ranges, etc.

on my mara most often the people who i am pulling are players with extremely bad positioning, slow reaction speed and low situational awareness. those guys who just stand still in the middle of the bottom floor of keep or inside the blob and spam aoe abilities. same for getting pulled off a keep wall. you can very easily learn where those janky spots are and see maras standing on rocks adjacent to the wall attempting to fish for pulls on unsuspecting players. i see a lot of those same players complaining about mara pull in public channels when i'm on order too.

and yes there are some rare situations where you may not be able to easily prevent being pulled such as playing in open field without LoS opportunity, zealot friend of mara staggers you, having low skilled tanks/healers in your group who don't taunt/stagger/HtL for you to prevent the pull or maybe other reason. overall this ability is very counterable both on your own account and with the aid of others.

i can tell you for certain that most knowledgeable players do not find themselves on the end of successful mara pulls often. this is because they proactively do things to avoid having the pull channeled on them in the first place or take measures to stop it instantly if it does happen. this ability in most cases only causes frustration and scores kills on players who are playing overly cocky, playing poorly or are simply new and have to eat a few pulls to learn their lesson.

It sounded much funnier in my head...
