I just joined and saw some threads about certain jumps being banned because they aren't possible without the right ping, or something like that... I saw people talk about RazorJ, PlebJ, ManiacJ and some more (these are the ones I remember lol). Would anyone be kind enough to explain to the nub here <points to self> what/where are these jumps/leaps?
I will offer a quick summary of the events involved here, but first I will say that there are no leaps banned right now. All leaps are permitted to be used (if that's all you care about. If not please read the summary.
Roughly 8-9 months ago, there was a leap named "PlebJ" which I banned. The leap in question is seen here (57 secs):
The ban ensued because of how leaps work in this game. In this game, there is a concept called an "OP Leap", which involves leaping about the same time that you jump to get a higher leap. This has ping-dependence: you will have a higher leap with higher ping. That being said, this jump is HARD with good ping, and less hard with bad ping, which is why it was banned.
Only a few weeks ago did things get controversial. The leap that brought up the controversy was RazorJ, as seen here (42 secs):
People started complaining heavily about the leap, so me and Maxi banned it. However, we ended up being persuaded to unban in the week passing by (The controversy in this was outstanding), so we unbanned both leaps. This led to more controversy, but that is the final result. The main reason was that leaps regardless are biased, and banning leaps to try and make it more "equal" was sort of futile, especially considering that I originally did not approve of banning leaps, but did it via majority.
ManiacJ was just a part of the argument.
So no leaps are banned at the moment, but you can look at these as maybe a guide as to what wrs to avoid going for xd (unless you are fine with the grind)
