*** Abuse of Environmental Damage bugs in battlegrounds ***

EnOeZ

So it seems some people have identified and are abusing the hell of environmental damage on flat surfaces in some battlegrounds.
For example in 4 of the 5 screenshots I provided, that player "Davaya" seems to know exactly what he is doing. He killed me at least 6 times in that bg with "environmental damage".
Well as 100% melee... I have to pass through him to grab the relics.

It is not fun or is it by design to be hit by 27K damage on flat surfaces repeatedly ?

When you get knocked off a ledge in the Mor Khazgur battleground, your character doesn't actually fly off the ledge. You take environmental damage and your character instantly dies.

Screenshot 1: Javelin knocked you off ledge
Screenshot 2: Take Flight knocked you off ledge
Screenshot 3: Javelin knocked you off ledge
Screenshot 4: Javelin knocked you off ledge
Screenshot 5: Javelin knocked you off ledge

You could argue that it's a bug when you instantly die and there's no knockback and fall animation. But you're dead anyways so the game just kills you right away.

Also, there's probably some unintended experience when your character falls off onto a part of the map that doesn't have any assets placed and it's just an empty part of the battleground. So that's why the game instantly kills you instead.

That's Eld Angavar. There's some funny places you can get to on that map.

It's the worst mode in the game, and I'm beginning to think it's the wrong mode for the game...

I understand your answer, while it may be true in some situations I can assure you that most times I am not about to be thrown away at all.
