Can you cross jump pads without getting launched?
Occasionally I'd like to continue moving past the jump pads without taking advantage of the jump effect. They throw you so high, that if you fall back down to the level you began on, you take a pretty substantial cut of fall damage.
In the image below, for example, I'd just like to get to the shrine. There are tons of other situations where all I want to do is continue moving along in my search for the teleporter, and jump pads often cause me to get hurt.
Is there a way around this?
Jump pads become inactive when time is frozen with the Unstable Stopwatch item.
The Huntress has a dash move that is actually a blink; it will move you through a teleporter. No other champion appears to have a "horizontal" movement ability that can be used to bypass a teleporter in this fasion.
The only other options are unfortunately also situational:
- Jump over the pad with your item-enhanced-jump.
- If the platform above isn't too high, you can just fall down and angle left.
You can also use the loader, if there is a wall on the other side of course. You'll have to use your C button or your grappling hook arm thingy to pull yourself to the other side. I've been playing with the loader for a time now and I'm 100% sure you can get through it if you use your pull. c:
