I didnt look like a bug but rather how knockback abilities are coded.
I never tried in PvP but in PvE, mainly in boss fights, when you are knocked back you always fly in the direction opposed to the one you’re facing which is usually toward the BOSS since you began running away when you noticed the big red circle.
It feels really weird to eat an explosion and to be drawn toward it and it’s kinda frustrating to be stomped to death afterward simply because you were 0.2 sec late in running away
(note that I know it’s my fault for being late in my escape but the issue here is that standing like a dumb phone pole would have been better simply because I would still face the boss and be bumped away from him).
