    I was just going to let this end up being a pm, but I decided to turn it into another open-based question like my other threads to see how others feel while hopefully getting a direct answer to what I believe is an unfairly overdue fix.
    The topic is on the current ninja glitch that's existed since "beta" where a ninja can't hit anything for around 1-2 seconds after it comes out of invisibility while everything else can. This of course greatly affects it's efficiency when trying to ambush a capper, hitting a soldier, getting the right amount of hits to kill a pyro, or even to win a 1v1 against anything with decent armor. Include this with Nom's "Temp damage nerf" and you have a class that's incredibility frustrating play unless you are willing to be plagued with a terrible KDR for most games.

    Now I'll give @NomNuggetNom the benefit of a doubt and say that he was unaware of it due to his preferred class being soldier along with few if anyone actually saying anything about it.

    Now to Nom: Are you willing to fix it since it's a glitch that's existed since CTF came to Brawl?

    To the others: What do you think about it? Is it as annoying for you as it is to me? Or have you found ways to cope with it? ( I know eggs can be used to negate the glitch.) Or do you actually like the idea of this glitch being made permanent and a part of how ninja works?

    it is rather annoying. i just assumed it was my lag because i'm EU but i guess not. it makes killing pyros hard too cuz there is that short period of visibility where i cant actually hit them but they can react and kill me

    Me, @November and @ByzakaByzantine have tested this and we can confirm what @Sibs is saying is true. Me and I believe @November also recorded it so if any evidence is needed for this we can provide it.

    I agree, it is key for a ninja to be able to hit as soon as they come out of invis. I 100% agree.

    As you assumed, I wasn't aware of this issue. I'll take a peek.

    I just assumed it was lag, and you're totally right. There are plenty of recovs I should have had, but couldn't get because of this. It really is a massive pain.

    Toyed around with it and it's "a lot better than before" according to @Sibs now. Let me know if it causes any other issues. The change is already live, or will be soon enough (servers need to restart).

    This will actually make ninja's more of a challenge to fight thanks for getting this sorted out :confused:. I noticed that it seemed like as soon as ninja's came out of invis state that there was a time where they seemed to be unable to react effectively to threats but i wasn't sure if it was just me or them or the game itself.
