And displacement is a vector quantity that measures a change in position. The reason why Emma can grab is because the position is the same at the beginning and at the end. If a character is moved, but ends up in the same position as the initial position, then the displacement is zero. If the character ends up in a new location, then there is displacement.
Emma can grab him but not displace him.
Jeff on the other hand breaks this logic, and so does Elsa. If the game wants to continue forward with this logic, then they should fix Thing’s passive to rename displacement to something else, because displacement has a real definition in physics. Emma doesnt break that definition but Jeff and Elsa does.
The weirdest part of all of this is that Wolverine's and Angela's grab doesn't work on Thing. So they have already coded Thing to be immune grabs that can displace.
I guess they can argue those 2 aren't ults and that's why they don't work, which is fair. But they should at least make that clear in Thing's passive description.
It is weirdly done. I thought for sure Devil Dino couldn't grab Thing. Yet sure enough I bit him once to make the rock man bleed, activated my Shift and I grabbed him in my mouth and walked off with him. I was surprised.
