m Updating usage lockout with rift trooper interactions
Petrichor (talk | contribs)
Reorganized the Getting Knocked Off and Usage Lockout sections for simplicity, removed walker spirit damage over time as it is covered by enemy objectives, added section related to trooopers and neutral objectives not causing usage lockout, edited grammar and vocabulary to correct tense, added maximum time before momentum begins to slow after pressing Down off zipline. Apologies for making multiple edits in one go

Travel speed on Ziplines is fixed at 18 m/s on the inner lane and 21 m/s on the outer lanes, independent of a hero's base speed. Using a Zipline refreshes the hero's air dash and double jump. Pressing the down key (<code>Ctrl</code> by default) drops the hero from the Zipline while preserving momentum.

Players start at their lane's zipline at the beginning of the match. Switching lanes will move them to the corresponding zipline. At the team's base, the player's starting lane zipline is highlighted with a halo effect.

Taking damage from an enemy hero or enemy objective prevents you from attaching to a Zipline for 3 seconds. This includes damage over time effects, such as Spirit Damage from [[Walker]] Fireballs or [[Shiv]]'s  {{AbilityIcon|Serrated Knives}}.

Certain damage sources, notably damage over time (DoT) effects, will not knock a hero off a Zipline. For example, {{HeroIcon|Mirage}}'s {{AbilityIcon|Djinn's Mark}} is treated as a DoT for this purpose.
Be aware, as certain damage over time abilities will not knock a hero off a Zipline. For example, [[Shiv]]'s  {{AbilityIcon|Serrated Knives}},{{HeroIcon|Mirage}}'s {{AbilityIcon|Djinn's Mark}}, and {{HeroIcon|Infernus}} {{AbilityIcon|Afterburn}} will not knock a hero off after the inital damage is dealt.  
 
Be aware, as of some damage sources that come from Heroes will knock a Hero off too, like a [[Trooper]] that has a {{AbilityIcon|Lil Helpers}} from {{HeroIcon|Rem}} can knock someone off if the Lil Helper attacks them, or a {{HeroIcon|McGinnis}} {{AbilityIcon|Mini Turret}}.
