Does ANYONE have any tips on how I can stop spamming my spacebar? LOL. It’s such a silly question but I just can’t stop clickity clackin my space key ALL MATCH. Since I’m actually trying to become better at heroes who actually need to aim well I’m noticing my aim is way off simply because I’m jumping and in my kill cams i look like a distressed kangaroo. I may as well change my name to leapfrog at this point, its ridiculous. Do I need to tape my thumb to my palm or something? LOL :woozy_face:

I used to do the same. I get it it’s relaxing to do it while stressed, but it really does mess up your aim and it makes you way easier to hit.

I personally have tried to rebind my jump button to crouch before. Weird I know, but crouching is 100 times better than jumping, as it makes your critbox harder to hit rather than easier. Of course, it means you’ll need to bind jump elsewhere and it’ll be awkward when you really need the jump. Personally, I just got over it by making myself more used to pressing melee and crouch for stress relieve. Crouching is very useful and you should be using it instead of jumping when dueling/trying to dodge shots.

I always jump constantly during matches as any hero until it matters. I bound my crouch to my side mouse button and conditioned myself to AD+crouch spam whenever I’m dueling. So while I jump a TON, it helped moving my crouch to an easier button to spam when it matters.

Remove the spacebar, or swap spacebar with Ctrl, done. Now you are a pro ADAD crouching spammer.

it might help if you work on it in steps. likely, there are a lot of specific situations that cause you to jump. for example:

  • when tracking someone (as a crutch to help aim)
  • as soon as you start shooting someone
  • as soon as you get shot
  • when you’re coming back from spawn (still vulnerable to flankers!)

work on them one at a time, rather than trying to break your instincts all at once pick a specific situation and work on that until it becomes instinct, then move on to the next

Lol I have the same issue, pressing the A button is just so fun. I probably jump more in a single match than Super Mario has in his entire career :sweat_smile:

For some reason I have the exact same problem but ONLY when playing as Ana.
I can’t shoot without jumping, it’s impossible not to do it. No idea what’s going on but whenever I shoot I jump.

don’t recommend jumping when there is a widow as your movement will be easily predictable.

swap jump and crouch :sunglasses:

youll eventually stop jumping when you start getting constantly headshot by snipers or 1 clipped by tracer because of it.
