I'd like to ask why Santa isn't allowed to nade spam the objective. Are we also not allowed to spray bullets on the objective? Wards, poison smoke, fire all make sense since they stay without the player needing to be near or even alive, but santa nades are just nades.
Second, can we please get some mention of glitching flying into ground walking, via ladders and magician's ultimate, ect?
The main thing is consistency. If we aren't going to allow races to get out of flying via one method, why allow them via another? That, and a bird can be a bitch to hit in the first place, why give it good aim as well? Of course, the ward rules aren't consistent(why only some houses are non-wardable and others not, eg: italy, estate), but still.
Now, athena's ultimate gets you out of flight as well, but that is not via your doing (and a flying crow goes SPLAT, without items).
crows are fine because of a singlke nad'll kill them. besides, if the crow "lands" it is counted as standing and gets good accuracy. that is just called strategy.

Landing and staying landed isn't as easy as you make it sound. And landing on the fly when you are chasing someone down, harder still. And a single nade kills them, if it hits them, and they haven't bought a periphat, and...
