Why the f**k did they remove railing strategy?

[Alvin Artichoke]

It was a mechanical technique and they are only hindering the actual good players who communicate with their teammates. If this is the route the devs are taking I am not sure I will continue to support and promote this game to my friends. It's just such a stupid design choice to remove the railing technique. Theyare just lowering the skill ceiling which is just bad for the competitive scene. Please fix ASAP.

And what skill ceiling is there in abusing a cheese that is completely safe and take 2 buttons to achieve?

So does getting rid of spiders, people are SO afraid of spiders, but jumping on the railing, ruins the horror experience for who? The people using it?

Thanks dad I'm my own adult now though.

I don't think people understand that if you didn't have a shovel rail cheese just meant delaying the inevitable unless you knew what you were doing, not to mention it was one of the only reasons people were willing to go back into a place with thumpers if they didn't have shovels.

He might be talking about all those times people miss the railing falling to their doom while trying to jump on it.

The fact this many people responded seriously to an obvious joke about "competitive skill techniques" is in itself amusing. Bravo.

are you ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ serious right now? how is it conceivable in your tiny pleb brain that this isnt a MAJOR issue in the speedrunning scene?

How do you speed run a game that is seemingly endless?

[Pingoso]

is it really that hard to hit an enemy with a shovel and walk backwards? good christ

COMPETITIVE LETHAL COMPANY?!?!?!?!?!?!?

[Kaligath]

Because it was not a strategy it was a bug that was exploiting hit box's your meant to be vulnerable not find cheesy ways to avoid death.
