Movement in downed state
Whiles this would be nice for PvE, I can imagine would only compound the problems of downed state in PvP (that being, it’s really easy to be revived by teammates, to the point that a the advantage in numbers is much more potent than it needs to be).
Crawling slowly should be fine. You’re not going to outrun enemy players while prone, and it’s ANNOYING when you’re stuck downed in a low-damage long-duration AoE field and your character can’t crawl half a foot to get out of it.
