Miner, Loader, and Pilot have a "slide tech"
AKA holding the down button while doing Drill Charge, Drill Dash, Hydraulic Gauntlet, and Aerobatics.
What do you think about this, and do you think this should stay in the game?

It let you do some cool movement trick, which is exactly what they're designed for, why should they not stay ? It's fun. Games are full of fun.

They better not remove Pilot Wavedash

Miner needs to be scorching to go fast, so why does Pilot only need a 5 second cooldown? I heard they won't remove it, but it should at least get a nerf to put it in line with Loader.

Because it's fun, this is not a PVP game, is a PVE game

What is there to nerf? I don't think it's even comparable to Loader and Miner because Pilot uses it to keep his distance and not get one-shotted while Loader and Miner uses theirs in cycle to be able to go in and out the stack of enemies without dying. It's also not like Pilot is better than Loader or Miner either because of it.

I can't see why you don't want things to change. Miner got nerfed because he was overpowered, and that's good. Artificer got buffed because people thought she was bad, and that's good. If the change makes the overall experience better for most players then why wouldn't you do it? That's why the devs are going out of their way to add mouse aiming after all.

Out of all the characters to have the bug Pilot has the best version, and they don't require anything specific to perform it like Loader. I'm not a developer, nor do I intend for my words to be taken seriously. In the end what I personally want is unrealistic, but it's fun to imagine them being more equal.

I'm a pilot main and I love his wavedash, but I have to admit that it is a bit op right now imo. I have no problem with tech in games (in fact, tech is usually always a better thing, such as sniper's bouncing m2), but his wavedash feels a bit too strong. A little nerf to his wavedash would make it fine overall. Strong yes, but not busted like it is right now.

Although hypothetically if it were a choice between keeping the wavedash as is or completely removing it, then I'd MUCH RATHER they keep it in as is.

Sniper also has slide tech. While charing his default secondary, you slide a lot farther than normal, as if friction is reduced. So if you backflip into a mid-air charge, you'll preserve you speed in the air and slide farther when you land. Once you have 6+ hooves and some feathers you can use this to backflip across entire stages.

Oh right, that was in the first game too I think. I mean, at least Sniper's potentially insane mobility is item dependent (RNG) instead of being innate; I just wanted people to know about the bug so it could be known by more people. It's probably better for the glitch to stay unchanged. Everything seems in a good place except for Pilot, but whatever, Merc can parry blood shrines.
