Baptiste problem on console

General Discussion
1

Having to crouch to charge jump is a big problem on console because it means you have to let go of the right stick for a movement ability.
Couldn’t it just be a hold jump to charge?

Remap ur buttons.

Lucio is unplayable until you map his jump to a trigger too.

I have to agree with this!

I haven’t played on console in a long time but I remember having to remap Lucio just to make use of his kit in an effective way.

Maybe Baptiste is in the same boat?

Unfortunately I think that’s just another drawback to using a controller. My advice, spend $150 and either grab an elite controller where you can map jump to a paddle, or buy a xim and go keyboard and mouse. Either way you’ll never be able to go back to a standard controller.

Hopefully one day soon Blizz will unlock native keyboard n mouse support for consoles. But don’t hold your breath.

I switched the Crouch control to left Joystick (The one you use to move) works really well

It’s not as simple as remapping. By design the devs didnt create his rocket jump correctly.

First they should have build it into his standard jump. Not the crouch.

Second, they should have made it so you hold the jump button, release, and then have Baptiste jump automatically when you let go of the button

Not if you bind the jump to L2 like i do and keep crouch on circle(ps4 player) i found it much easier to use now that i switched the bindings to best fit me

I believe this was an intentional design. Otherwise they might as well give him a Genji double jump.

I can see why they would put some sort of drawback to such a powerful jump. Having to crouch for a second to power up the jump seems super fair and a decent way to balance the jump.

Otherwise Baptist would be a freaken grasshopper all the damn time. Almost like Pharah in that your going to need to target the air to hit him. Applying a downside or requirement to use it makes it so he has to use it carefully rather then all the time.

It’s not intended to be a drawback. On PC this is not a problem at all. Only console

To you maybe. I have grown up on console so console controls are second nature to me.

I remapped crouch to L1, Jump L2, Primary Gun on R1, Secondary on R2 and his abilities I mapped to X and Circle.

Feels silky smooth

I don’t even have crouch mapped on any hero, completely forgot he had a super mario jump. :joy:
