    So, my idea is very simple and could be an interesting change to how ninja works as a whole.

    First thing, remove the godawful enderpearls, but buff the sword 1 sharpness more or 2 more.

    In replace of the ninja pearls, add a tripwire hook which acts like an enderpearl when thrown but it acts more like a grappling hook. This would stop prem/ghost capping immediately, but ninja would still retain its mobility, i think it would be even better at recovery due to enderpearls giving damage.

    Grappling hook: acts like an enderpearl but doesnt go as long of a distance, i would say it can could go up 5 blocks at the least if pointed right up. This makes ninja able to scale structures while not taking 2 hearts of damage from enderpearl. If you successfully grapple onto something and jump off and then use the grapple before you hit the ground, it ignores fall damage. Takes 2 clicks to use, one to fire grappling hook, one to use it. The scaling up buildings could be as fast as soldiers scaling or faster.

    Now, this fully means that ninja could right click on a wall and stay against the wall with its grappling hook until it grapples up or down. So that way it can plan where to go next. the ninja would have to shift to stay in that spot though.

    I would say at max it could go 15 blocks at a 90 degree angle. if its angled at like 70 degrees, it just matters where you are and how high you are. No it cannot be spammed, i would say every 1.5-3 seconds after the second right click.

    Grappling Hook
    Pros:
    Able to scale buildings faster and without loosing health like from enderpearls damage, and makes it an easier way to catch up to campers on top of buildings and such.
    Removes ghost capping and prem capping entirely
    Cons:
    Makes ninja capping a tad harder as it is harder to get away with the flag.
    Ninja can not go as far because the grappling hook does not go as far as enderpearls.


    Thats my idea, leave criticism down below, I made this up on a dime.

    This is an interesting idea.
    How far would this grappling hook go, approximately? How often could you use it? Would you be able to spam it, or would you have to wait a couple seconds?

    Why do you disagree? Besides the removal of ghost/prem capping since ik you love ghost capping.

    I can't ghost. I have attempted ghosting three times in my CTF career and failed every single one.
    You totally kill ninja's mobility, completely screw over defense and recovery while making certain aspects such as taking out a pyro ridiculously OP, completely buffing offense and completely nerfing defense/recovery.

    There is exactly zero positive aspects to this rework. That's why I disagree.

    Is it kind of based off of a fishing rod? And I believe you are referring to the grappling hook from WarZ.
