Knock back is a killer in PPV and big game changer it really make no sense that One click can make a player win a flag, cap a cart, or cap a tower.
This make pvp specially rated unplayable which such a classes, you can even get one shot in many scenarios with these knock back. all classes with knock back abusing it and know it can make them win a BG. BGs should not depend on a class
This is not FAIR and ruin the pvp game, you pend all your skill getting that flag or cart and one plater with one button sending you flying to Africa with one click.
Either give knock back to all classes or remove it. or give classes without knock back immunity talents

Then you’ve learned the lesson about not standing near the flag spot, always line of sight the enemy that can potentially grip you, or in this case, knock you out.

That a game mechanic abuse than a tactic of where you stand, if you get knocked out of the cart circle you lose the cap if you dont stand inside you lose the cap.
If you are on edges you cant fight ranged when you are melee, are you saying if you see a character with knock back just walk away and let him freely cap otherwise your class is not entitled to it due to lack of knock back.
Well you just proved the reason of this post
So if we are talking about the generic, random battlegrounds, such as Eye of the Storm, or Arathi Basin, then sadly there’s little you can do about it since the map is designed in a way that you can use the terrain to your advantage to dispose of one enemy, it takes practice to learn these things and overtime you’ll know when to move out of a cliff edge in order to prevent said knock out.
If we are talking about maps like Eye of the Storm in the Blitz format, then there are many things to be aware of, things like charms, knockbacks towards flag spots which can force a unwanted flag cap this is why you want to drop the flag when you got two bases, in order to prevent this ‘accidents’
If you’re a melee defending a node, just play defensively, keep your distance rather than standing right next to the flag, call out for help so people are notified about it and simply use your kits accordingly.
not sure why, but from reading your replies, it feels like this:
Keep my knock back.
For other players :
Get good! try to dodge my f16 missile with your horse, use the terrain at and landscapes to your advantage, when I launch a missile from my f16 run with your horse inside the cave to avoid the one shot, teach your horse how to run faster, keep practicing to learn all caves, keep a close eyes on me inside my plane when i press the missile button and react quickly, if you get hit by my missile you’re not a good Demon Lord, be a God. get Good and stop been slow, get faster, become thunder… Get good Man, it just a missile
Whatever you say man, your own words. I just provided you counter measures.
its true mate, just red your comment, you want to make the impossible as a lack if experience for the sake of keeping your knock back to one shot players
Not denying anything, however, you learn these things over time, if you play 100x games and you haven’t learned anything from those BGs, isn’t that bad?
you play a dk
dk has immunity
your alt is a druid
druid has a knock back
/thread
Knockbacks needs to go tbh.
Nah infinite dk grips is worse than knockbacks. At least doing a useful knockback takes some skill. With the grip its just mash button. Oh, they run away? Mash again. Chains of ice. Smaaaash. Done.

That’s another story but still not a game changer or a one shot as knock back, knock back can get you one shot, make you lose cap, get you out of cart circles…etc. its a game changer and any knock back character never lose a flag
Gripping someone and put chains on them so they can hardly move is also incredible annoying and game changing.

There was a food you could buy with pvp tokens which made you immune to knock back, in fact it still might work. But not in rated, have no fear it will get nerfed i am sure. Remis not to mention it is also great fun, i always have my Goblin Gliders on stand by and run along a wall or away from cliff edges xD. Certain Shammy gets me often launching me off Castle Towers in BGs lol. Meanie!
Consumables from Dragonflight like the truffle or dragonfruit no longer work in 80 bgs.
Grip can be just as game changing as a knock back. Besides, there are things you can do to counter knockbacks. Like I said, there is skill involved in doing a good knockback. Just as skillful positioning can be an extremely effective counter to it.
DK grip can pull me out of a cart circle whilst the DK runs in. Grip needs to be removed. Monk ring can push me away from flag or out of cart circle. Monks need to be removed. Rogues and mages can cc so much almost makes capping or defending useless. Both rogue and mage needs to be removed. Like I get it, knockback is annoying. As are so many other things. If I get knocked of EOTS Im mostly pissed at myself for not paying attention or standing wrong place. And whoever knocked me of it’s fair play. Don’t see the issue tbh. i’m more annoyed by obnoxious cc chains than a knockback wich requires los
