ROCKET RIDE - Concept ability for soldier
This new ability is an alternative ability for the Rocket Jump, this ability is more focused on the mobility rather than the jump itself, you can still reach high surfaces with it, but not only does it requires more distance to actually make the jump, but your likely gonna waist the short time of the ability.
The purpose of this ability is more to cross large portions of the map in short time, working better when defending a point, capturing a point or just to get in a shorter time to the destination if the spawn is inconvenient.
Also, funny thing, if u are in the Rocket Ride and decide to kamikaze a Plant, you'll actually hit him, knock him and do damage!! But the ability will instantly end, depending on how much you have been in the Rocket Ride, the more damage and knock back you'll do.
To compensate all that, the ability only lasts 5 seconds, 2 less than Hyper, and having a looooooong 45 sec recharge. Talking about Hyper, you pretty much CAN'T and will actually be worse to you if u decided to use it in PvP, although I think Scuba with some crazy tech can actually kill a pea or a sunflower in less than what the ability lasts for.
So, what do you think, would you use this ability instead of the Rocket Jump/Leap?
