I said multiple times that airblast is OP, which means it is over powered compared to the other elements, if you didn't know.......
You do notice that there is no point of having airblast because all people do who use it is run away, and they can get way to far way to fast, which is WAYYY over powered. If you want to dodge this ability would be 1000% better because A) it's faster And B) it makes fights with air an actual fight instead of them litterally running way away in a couple seconds.......
And I said you can have an angle on the launch just like catapult, and like it there is a certain limit to what angle you can launch. It's just if that angle is less than 70 degrees then you go straight up...... This is useful for getting to high ground, but not overpowered because there is an angle limit.
Don't you see the A) Airblast's mechanic is wierd an not possible and B) It's way to OP
THIS IS THE PERFECT MOVE FOR QUICKLY DODGING INCOMING ATTACKS AND THEN STRIKING BACK LIKE AIR IS SUPPOSED TO DO!!!
reading the caps first, but airblast already does this... and if you honestly think that the only people who use airblast are noobs who run, you are dead wrong. Also, it takes 1 second to run away? You consider that a fight? What are you speaking from experience of, a server of complete noobs? Where are you getting the statistic of 1000% better? A dodge with a cooldown, whats the point then? The dodge is meant to bait out certain moves, not be baited out, it would defeat the purpose...
...
Again, why would going straight up be overpowered compared to going straight horizontal? Last time I checked, gravity would quickly negate the vertical move within seconds. "Its op to move straight up, its easier to run if you only move your y coordinate rather than your x or z, even though gravity reverts your y coordinate and not the x or z" I think you mean to say that you wish to make it *easier* to run, if thats the case, by preventing airbenders from blasting straight up to prepare a counter attack.
^ All of that is jumbled and not separated nicely because your response skips around and I cannot really separate the counterargument, sorry.
"Do you notice that there is no point of having airblast because all people who* use it to*is run away"
* = means what you most likely meant, your grammar was incomprehensible
what are you even talking about, if thats the basis of your combat-functionality argument, you have no argument. As i said before, this is THE. SINGLE. MOST. IMPORTANT. MOVE. IN. A. FIGHT. If you think that using it in itself constitutes running, its akin to saying using firejet is running away. Its not. The ability to move itself is not running away.
And for your first point, you said it was op compared to other elements. Why? Shifting and swimming around in 10 block deep water which moves cant hit through is fine, and not running away (especially when using regen), but moving around quickly is unfair??? You are just spouting (hah, get it? Air spout) nonsense to defend your point, but everything you just said either has no basis, is completely untrue, or has no relevance to your actual argument.
You keep saying its op relative to specifications so general, you CAN make the argument its op. Everyone considered a top 10 airbender for all servers throughout all versions of bending plugins all use airblast as their main move. If its integral to the best airbenders, then saying only noobs use it is either completely unfounded or saying that you think air is nooby, introducing your obvious personal bias against it and resulting wish to nerf it.
I will not respond to this again, as I was only responding in the first place because I had free periods in school. I have better things to do than argue against incoherent and fabricated points.
I don't even see why there is a debate over this. The AirBlast isn't realistic at all, not to mention it is not canon. So what is the issue? An airbender has never displayed a hint of abilitiy to create a blast beneath them other than an airjump which comes from their feet rather than their hands like the ability known as "Air Blast" Airbenders are the biggest trolls because of Airblast. The only way to catch one is to be an airbender as well or Avatar. This should really be changed.
The whole argument is that air is completely unusable without it, ask any airbender. Whether its cannon does not matter, its like telling an archer to stop using a bow in combat, yet continue fighting, because its not a traditional knight weapon. Makes absolutely no sense, and to sum up in your own words, what could be the issue with it?
