Could dev add Team Switch about Knock Back ?
Like team leader can choose Knock back allowed or not.
When KB not allowed, all KB power effect to KU or KD.
If feel KD or KU is too useful, how about add high taunt effect to KB power ?

I know Knock Back is 1 of most important action for "Hero feeling".
But in game play, especially team play, knock back is just harmful.
I saw many team wiped because KB happy KBing toggled mob to next group,
melee toon chasing KBed mob and bring more aggro etc
and I rarely seen team never broke after 4-5 wipe like that.

My 3rd dark def (dark/rad/dark) just hit lv50 today.
Here is slot on her.

With herding, dark epic work great.
She can solo 6ppl sized 2+ lvl mob group (easy mob like robots, families, councils, warriors, freaks...) like
Darkest Night > Fearsome Stare > Tar Patch > jump in center of mobs > Aim > Soul Drain > Irradiate > Atomic Blast > eat blue insp > Dark Consumption > Neutron Bomb
She can damage like blaster, but she is still deffender, dark/rad set is really fun.
