Absorb not totally working?

[ShockV1.89]

I've run into this problem a few times, and its irritating, since it can pop up at the worst moments:

 

Heres the scenario: You are dashing through NS_Streets, and you've stolen the enemy flag. You see backup on the other side of the chasm, and you make the jump, as you have plenty of force. As you get ready for the jump, you turn on absorb. No use getting pulled outta the air, right?

 

You make the jump and as you leave the ground, you hear "whoosh" and you glow blue as you absorb a force pull. But suddenly al lyour forward motion is gone! You're not flying downwards as though pulled, but nor are you moving forward anymore! And look, right below you, hey, theres no floor. Wheeee.....

 

Why did the absorb not work right? It was like my jedi hit a brick wall for a second. This has happened numerous times to me.

When you jump you are vulnerable to push/pull whether you have absorb on or not. Having absorb on makes push/pull affect you less when jumping, but on a map like that it's not enough to save your butt.

Once, when I had absorb on, I was running, and someone pushed me flat on the ground! Muy raro.
