Krakentastic: Sup keldegar

Keldegar: @Krakentastic can you answer me a super secret question

Krakentastic: @Keldegar Maybe?

Keldegar: @Krakentastic the update to stutter-stepping that CaptainNeato fixed, did it REMOVE the attack speed increase or did it just make it CONSISTENT across all heroes?

Keldegar: @Krakentastic you have to answer because PlayoffBeard shunned me on the live stream Kappa

Krakentastic: @Keldegar The idea is to not remove sutter stepping, but to make it fair

Keldegar: Krakentastic in what sense fair though? so an increase in speed thats consistent across all heroes?

Ketzusaka: @Krakentastic Hmm, does that mean that a hero has the same attack speed wether standing still or breaking animations?

Krakentastic: @Keldegar Everything should be nice and balanced in the stuter stepping world once we release the fix

Keldegar: Krakentastic i realize you can't give specifics but i guess we want to know if its the same standing still vs. moving

Icantdrawanime: Every character has a different attack windup animation and a different attack cool down animation. If I had to guess at how they're implementing and fixing it. Fair would be to make it such that the attack timer is equivalent between attacks even though a characters attack animation will still affect how they feel

Krakentastic: It just doesn't let them get faster than their tuned and intended attack speeds

Drowbane: Will stepping be better than just standing still?

Keldegar: @Krakentastic so it would be the same standing vs stuttering?

Krakentastic: No, the idea isn't to make standing the same as stutter stepping

Krakentastic: stutter stepping is a good high skill technique, but it was allowing players to exploit it

Keldegar: @Krakentastic OK great !

Keldegar: that also explains why the fix didn't fix catherine stun bug.

Krakentastic: It's a little hard to describe the complexity of it. You'll feel the happy place of the fix once it's out.

Keldegar: @Krakentastic thank you for the info. that's amazing that you shared with us!

Krakentastic: I expect you'll see stutters stepping in all high elo matches still

Keldegar: and Krakentastic also knows im posting this to reddit :)

Krakentastic: @Keldegar Feel free, but try not to overexplain. I think Neato would be a better person to describe the fix since he did it.

Krakentastic: I can ask CaptainNeato to write something up and I can share

Keldegar: @Krakentastic that would be even better than me fumbling with it! :D

Krakentastic: @Rjthesingh We are still wrapping things up as quickly as we can.
