Juno's Glide Boost could use a couple of tweaks

It would be great if

  • On activation it reset her (double)jump

and

  • We could change our altitude downward, without deactivating the ability, by pressing the crouch button

These are nice on paper, however everything needs to have meaningful downsides. For the first, I don’t think we need more mobility in her kit. For the second, it’s more balanced if you couldn’t “tap it in” and instead had to choose between maintaining hover and deactivating it and slow-falling down. Aerial mobility is already a very touchy thing to balance when it’s not standard, we probably shouldn’t go too hard on it. They could make the cd start counting down upon activation so cancelling it early is less punishing, allowing more flexibility in how it’s used. But floating around needs to have meaningful downsides, and not being able to adjust your altitude during is probably important. I also don’t quite see the need for it, considering all her abilities have good range and traversing the map with it should be part of the skillset you learn with her.

It’s not abt her having more mobility per se.
It’s mainpy the issue that she can’t reach many of the generic high ground ledges on many maps before first finding an obstacle to jump from, which imo feels really bad.

The double jump reset just let’s her reach all relevant high grounds and avoids having to increase her double jump hight in general.

Now that I think about it, the original two suggestions aren’t enough. I wouldn’t mind if the cooldown is lowered to be in line with Echo’s. Mobility is the best and most fun aspect of this game, it should be double downed on, imo.

I do not think she really needs to have a cooldown refresh for double jump. High mobility flying heroes are already an annoyance to deal with.

I would personally make it so that when you glide boost into walls you “climb” them to get up. It’s that simple really, it already auto climbs when a ledge is slight above you, so just make it do that for walls.

I do however agree with descending on crouch while gliding. It just feels weird that you can’t do it.

This is exactly what I want for her too! I fully agree.

No, giving juno the ability to move anywhere she wants like a mercy ult would make her absurdly difficult to pin down. We don’t need another mercy, juno is fine where she is.

I’d go with just the latter suggestion. Not being able to descend feels a bit awkward as it is.
