Well, let's end the fun and get out a proper bugfix now. Bodyblocking as a feature can be considered of course, but I don't think we'll iterate that idea in public releases. Plugins are probably the best place for it right now. In the meantime, we'll get back to a vanially GG2 without bodyblocking.

So how did this even get back in? It's a fun little mistake that I actually already explained above, but I don't think anyone in their right minds could have understood what I posted there. So here it is in plain english (I hope).
Obviously we wanted to revert the collision system changes that we introduced in 2.6.0. To do that, I basically told git (the tool that keeps track of all our work) to undo everything wareya has worked on when he was writing the collision system changes.
However, wareya started on those changes in Version 2.5, which still had the bodyblocking, and he removed the bodyblocking when writing the collision system. Meanwhile, we *independendly* removed bodyblocking for our next release. When we merged wareya's work into our main development branch, git saw that the same change had happened on both sides and everything was fine. However, when I told git to revert wareya's changes, it also added bodyblocking again, because wareya had removed that.
The correct thing to do was to tell git to revert the merge itself. That way, it can notice that bodyblocking wasn't actually removed by adding wareya's stuff, because it had already been removed before.

I hope that was mildly interesting to you. See you after the 2.6.3 release.

I hate how you completely ignored any support for bodyblocking remaining as a feature

All dictators have a small segment of the population who support them due to brainwashing and misguided trust.

but dumb spy gimmicks are fun

did anyone stop to think it nerfs the cloaked spy's ability to shadow an opponent by passing in and out of the opponents sprite in order to disorient and pick off with the revolver

fuck that shit homie

I'd never get used to body blocking.

People said they wouldn't get used to the rocketman being nerfed.

...were you even around for that period

[Teekytots [PC][OG]]

Body blocking encourages bad players to stab aimlessly as spy

so lower amount of skill/timing/luck to get a stab with body blocking

So introduce balance fixes.

Actually, it would be nice if there was a stab cooldown, bodyblocking or no.

life without bodyblocking is meaningless

You must've had a very boring life. Is that why you suddenly changed gender?

Oh come on, that's a low blow.
