Is this a glitch or not?

When in pvp, you run back, you have an extra meter? I heard it on the forums a few times, and wanted to know for sure

Thanks guys

Many disagree about this, but I believe that while advancing, you gain a meter. While retreating, or as you say, running back, you lose a meter. Like I said, many disagree, but I honestly don't care. I'm about 99.99% sure that it's true.

I have no idea if it's a glitch.

Chasing someone u get extra 2m on auto and all skills running back u must lose like 1-2m cuz my drain never hits @ 12m when i kite

That's a sucky mechanic, kite is impossible then. Way to go whiners

I'm not entirely sure I know what you mean, but yeah. Kiting is next to impossible anymore. I can repulse a Mage on my bird at 12m and they'll still get fire and drain in...

Drain is 12m I don't remember about fire though

Clearly you don't know what I'm referring to.

Ehm, for kiting, since the distance is reduced while youre running away, cant you just stop for a second, get the proper 12m, then continue running towards dat tree ;)

[Reunegade]

This is how it works. If you go into 12 meter and then you run back 1 meter, then the opponent's skills will still be able to hit as long as you are running back. It will not hit though if you run out of the 13 meter zone and go into 14 meter.

Need to go back to the old netcode :(((

This is not a glitch at all, as I mentioned several times before.

This is a well calculed game mechanic. If you're skilled enough you can have advantage from it.

No, I didn't mean that. It's just, when you've experienced the ridiculousness of the messed up range in game, (especially from the bird vs Mage perspective) it becomes very clear that there is a range glitch, or at least an odd range mechanic. I didn't mean to put you down or anything! Often I'm very blunt in the way I communicate so I guess I don't have amazing communicative skills either ;)

I believe the answer to this is simply lag
