We tried this! It was crazy! And unpredictable! And... Not that fun with how varied our maps and terrain are.

Very, and honestly some of it was pretty fun and opened a lot of cool possibilities

What about her ult though? Maybe it's just me but it feels a little too easy to walk out of it considering its an ult.

The ultimate definitely rides a fine line. Imposing movement restrictions on players is a powerful thing in Apex. Too much and it can be really powerful and really frustrating for victims. I don't think it's too overpowered now, but with good planning and the right timing, it can be devastating.

In all seriousness, is there any chance you have footage of it that you can share? I'd imagine it'd be quite a laugh.

No footage to share but if you can imagine the gravity lift in the game pointing in the direction "up" from the surface it's thrown against you'd get the idea. It didn't launch you but hold and push you in low gravity in the direction of the lift towards the end.

Hmm, if you take multiple ray casts from point of landing downward and average there normals then it shouldn't result in landing in weird angles based on the ground geometry being not perfectly flat, but should still angle correctly if intentionally thrown at a slanted wall.

That's basically how it worked, but in practice although the section of rock you threw it at was about 45 degrees the resultant angled elevator was just less fun and useful than a quick and reliable tool to get up.
