Change in Waterbending Passive

Hero · Feb 18, 2016

Water run: This is a technique in which waterbenders run on water at high speeds, in addition to riding on foreign objects with the same purpose. This technique was first used during Team Avatar's crossing of the Serpent's Pass, when Katara formed an ice surfboard and increased her speed in order to effectively freeze the serpent's midsection without being hit.[27] She used it a second time to cross the lake to Jang Hui.[22] Aang used this in his fight against Ozai to flee from Ozai's attacks after being knocked off a cliff.[34] During their fight with Korra, Desna and Eska encased their feet with ice to allow them to slide across the water.[47] Korra also used this technique to ride a wave and cross the water when she was trying to stop two thieves at a small fishing town.[60] - AvatarWiki

I want to change the way "Speed Swimming" looks and make it so when you shift in water to water run, you form small wave at your feet to hover on the water. If you want to go underwater, it would make a spiral of bubbles.

Why is it called waterrun when it uses ice?

I wondered that too but I suggesting that you ride a wave when surfing the top part of the water

And pay attention to the actually suggestion and not what the wiki calls it, kay?

I think I had seen this suggestion before, while I was browsing in this section (will look up for it sure). I like this suggestion tho. I would prefer this as a replacement of the original passive where you swim underwater :3

Me three. I think they named it as a metaphorical meaning, since running could be applied applies as "moving" across something, like How Surge can make a shielding technique too, despite its name

P.S. this is the one I was talking about

I think that the water run part is useless, because it just doesn't really make sense. I see your idea, but I don't see it in PK as it would look really unrealistic. Yes, Waterbenders in the show would run/ride a wave, but that is basiclly waterwave, icewave, and waterflow. So I think that isn't a good idea.

MeskenasBoii · Feb 25, 2016

Look unrealistic? How so?

boybuscuss · Feb 25, 2016

That makes waterbenders OP so,it should stay.

MeskenasBoii · Feb 25, 2016

Hmm, thought that you defined "unrealistic" as in this technique is not accomplishable for them. unlike from the show.

boybuscuss · Feb 25, 2016

and if it would be realistic,how that should look

You isn't like waterwave due to the fact that you cannot attack while riding it (since it requires shifting) and it's literally the same as the passive we have right now but looks differently...

boybuscuss · Feb 25, 2016

well,its useful and makes sense,so they dont need to uninstall that passive,they should add particles at least.Its good the way it is.
Thats just my opinion c:

boybuscuss · Feb 25, 2016

but a wave,well thats a good idea,they can make a combo like IceWave (not the waterspout one) .Well i changed my opinion.You are right.Now i really like the idea c:

MeskenasBoii · Feb 25, 2016

IceWave already exists. Ain't it

?

So like going fast on ice but running on water in the same way correct?

MeskenasBoii · Feb 25, 2016

Running on water isn't referred to a literally meaning, so read the next bold text. He also isn't referring on surfing on ice, but surfing with the ice below the waterbender's feet

ahhh okay

As i said not the waterspout one, i cant name this ability so lets call this one watersurf.

boybuscuss · Feb 26, 2016

And the combo name as IceSurf
