What is a rushing blight? A blight that uses his rush?
On a serious note I don’t know why they made his flick an intentional mechanic. Kinda ruins his fun for me

I'm not even sure how to do it. I think I've done it by accident though?

A blight that uses his rush all the time because now that he can 180 there's literally no punishment if he misses the first shot oh well 180 and get that next hit. He no longer requires skill any new player can come along and play him now I would know I used to suck with Blight but now I'll get at least a 3k

Tbf there is a decent punishment fro missing unless you are running certain add ons.
Yeah blight needs his flick changed. It removes what was fun about fighting him

I play Blight and I don't even know how to do, I could actually careless to be honest.
I don't think I've even crossed a single Blight actually doing it themselves?
If I do happen to come across this rare thing in my game one day... Oh well, I guess I'll just adapt and learn to outplay it instead of complaining about it.

The better you get with Blight, the more you use his rush in general regardless of 180 turns. Using bump logic is still just as strong, especially with addons.
People who are good with Blight can do a turn of around 140 degrees without needing to flick more than the default 90 degrees. They turn a little to face the object they're going around and then they do a 90 degree flick to get that extra turn. This is pretty skillful and requires deep map knowledge and precise timing.

Thoroughly confused about what the so-called 180 is. Is it the same as nasty flicks, or what?

I'd make a sarcastic quip, but I actually just finished facing 4 blights in a row.
Don't get me wrong it's better than spirit - but dang, that's a lot of Blights!

Hmmm - guess I am lucky. Past 2 weeks I have only seen 1 Blight in about 60 or so matches. He is one of the lesser killers I see - along with Twins, Trickster, and Billy.

If they can´t fix a bug, it becomes a feature.

I hate that you’re right

Welcome to Nurse v0.9.

There is no such thing as an instant 180° turn anymore.
What people mean is a 90° turn while rushing followed by a 90° flick hit, which is INTENDED. This is not a J-Flick and never was.
What wasn't intended was rushing straight forward followed by a 180° flick hit, which got fixed. This was the J-Flick.

Facts.

I actually wanted them to increase his flick by a bit (after removing the jflick exploit of course), but the 180 is pretty excessive and not how much I was thinking of increasing it by. It feels pretty dumb. Rather than feeling outplayed it just feels like you got cheesed.

Although it's an unpopular opinion, I was in favor of the J-flick, even though I'm console and couldn't do it. Reason being that even though it was an exploit, it created a fun new aspect of mindgame with genuine counterplay. Bump Logic was still always better than a J-flick, given that a J-flick could be countered, but proper bump logic guarantees a hit majority of the time. The only time J-flicks were optimal was the final (5th) rush, when bump logic can obviously no longer be used. The issue with this is that it was very predictable, and all you had to do was hug a corner then spin out to avoid getting hit.
The reason I mention all of that is because now the counterplay to flicks has been significantly nerfed. With a J-Flick, once blight had locked into flicking, he could not adjust. That isn't the case anymore. Not that you can't dodge a flick, just that the blight can now adjust his flick midway through, meaning that it can be very difficult to counter.
I kinda lost my train of thought but just felt like sharing my perspective on these changes :)

Ok they did not remove his skill cap. He still has one of the highest skill caps in the game because understanding when to use his rush at certain loops still takes time to learn. Even having 180s is a skill cap in itself because it can be important to learn when to flick, whether it’s healthy for the game or not, because I’m not saying he should have a flick like that.

you still need all of the same skill with blight. nothing about his skill cap was lowered.
you're being dramatic and refusing to play any different from game to game. time to start adapting :)

I actually haven't gone against a single blight yet. It's weird, I'd get him a few times a day.

I haven't played blight since his POV change, but I think it has to do with uping your DPI or sensitivity and flicking while attacking
I also don't know if this is still a thing, but if you pause the game while in rush you will stop moving momentarily
