Fliers should be grounded in pvp arena's

Well, answers are in orange.

Is lunge kiting bad? Heck no. Is dodge really, really good? Yes!
Lunge kiting is very effective.
Is it "far superior to SS flywheel". No.
Flywheel has always been "No risk, high reward and super easy to use" ability.
And that's why it has been abused since launch of the game.

So yeah, new list with your addition:
+ Has dodge effect
+ Isn't affected by grounding
+ Access to flight via other 2 movement modes
- Requires certain weapons
- Accidental counters
- Affected by pets / surrounds
- Have to release target
- Have to stop movement to cast
- Limited camera movement while kiting
- Can safely only kite in certain directions

SS kiting:
- No dodge effect
- Is affected by grounding
- Cannot fly
+ No weapon requirements
+ Completely safe from counters. No risk high reward.
+ As long as there is even little movement room, not affected by surroundings
+ Do not have to clear target
+ Can keep up momentum while using abilities
+ Easy camera movement while kiting
+ Kite in direction you need or want

Yes...i'm extremely biased. -.-

One thing I want to point out that u said in response to everyone that says just lunge a flier. Your words as follows : You would be surprised how bad hit boxes on some abilities and weapon combos are. Even height quite often makes things miss.end quote.

Lunges are one of the few things in game that seem to have very good hit boxes.
Still works if you do not reach the target yourself and works at maximum range reliably.

On this case IMO the main issue will always be acquiring the target.
It's quite easy to accidentally get stuck to wrong targets when free targeting and while cycling through targets it can take too long.

And maybe i'm delusional, but i swear that at some point last couple of years they have made the circle region in middle of your screen where a target is chosen while free targeting bigger. It also means it's harder to aim someone when someone else is standing next to you.
God i miss my crosshair in DCUO. Why they ever removed it, i still can't understand. It was just an option in the menu. So who liked it could have it, who did not, could disable. Now it's just gone.
Bring it back, BRING MY CROSSHAIR BACK, DA**IT! :<

All you guys complaining about dumb stuff....

Why not fix the targeting range instead?

lol Fire dps's should have NO problem with grounding fliers.
