I've noticed the quabbleball fall back toward the Passer many times over whenever I'm using the Bruiser role. It's frustrating cause you knock that passer out and the ball just falls straight down to that same passer on the ground or sometimes this passer that gets knocked will be quick to catch the ball in the air but still fall.
It has been said before by others that Bruisers are meant to bruise so why nerf their skill even more? Equating Bruisers grounding Passers to Defenders holding the quabbleball doesn't make sense due to the skill needed for the Bruiser to ground, but Defenders that hoard the quabble are essentially flying and evading - no skill, just flying faster than a Passer can. Just played a game a few minutes ago where
@thatgirlkenna was Defender and ended up holding the quabbleball for close to 20 seconds until the game ended. It was kind of a close game, but shady for her to do that. A Passer can always try to evade Bruisers if they time their moves right, but a Passer trying to steal a quabbleball back from a Defender takes even more time to get down.
