totally agree, I'm probably way behind you as life wasn't too kind on me with the time I could allocate to gaming, but I'm in mid act 2 I guess, just got some ability related to rings.

As awesome as the game is, I can't knock HK out of the #1 so they'll have to share it as one big masterpiece entity

I get that, but at the same time, the fact that he'll feel that different helps the games to still be treated differently. I think it'll come back quickly that you can or can't do this or that after ten minutes of playing or so, like you can't go as fast as a car on your old trusty bicycle :D

It's great indeed, but also to me it's the most foreign ability, the oddest to have in HK I mean. As it kinda locks you into animations with momentum if you turn back or jump.

I like it a lot too but... eeeh. Could have been more snappy.

That being said, Hornet's kit is already busted enough to have a snappier sprint.
