reddit AMA one of the jeff’s (i think it was geoff) said they’ll look into making it a normal button press instead of the GA + crouch then jump mechanic we have now

I think this is a very good idea for people who struggle to pull it off like me.

By jove this is why they avoid communications with this forum. Goodman said “I’ll look into it” not “I’ll be doing it for sure”.

Would it be bad? Yes. But this is an over-reaction and a misrepresentation of Goodman’s words.

Does the whining never end? This game is meant to be accessed by people of all skill levels. If you want something more hardcore, other games exist.

They don’t look at the forums so it’s fine doesn’t matter what I say.

Who is this jove cat?

OH GOD NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO

Geoff or Jeff if you’re seeing this please do NOT do this. This would drastically lower the skill requirement of it (when it’s currently one of the FEW things in her kit that is a visible expression of individual player mechanical skill).

Also, all you Mercy players saying this is a good thing, you realize they’d probably tack on a stupidly long cooldown onto it like 5 or 6 seconds?

Don’t play a competitive FPS if you want everything to be easy and not require any effort on your part. Most real Mercy mains WANT our hero to have skillful and impactful abilities and moments to shine. Her beams and everything else is already easy and accessible, let us keep SOME mechanically interesting tech.

I hope they won’t do this. It’s just so cool to ctrl+GA to superjump. I think it’s an amazing technique.

The tech is based on GA’s cooldown and Blizzard didn’t increase GA CD when GA glide was made into a feature…so I doubt they will increase the CD.

I agree that it kills Mercy’s mechanical skill expression though.

I think that this was sort of the reason of not making it a button.

I think that they should make it a little bit harder to pull of due to the benefits of doing it. Anyways, it’s not like they could make it a button anyways without having to edit the entire controller layout which seems counterproductive to me.

Mercy is perfectly accessible. She doesn’t need to be easier, in fact quite the opposite.

they need to stop allowing blatant bugs be added to her kit it’s annoying

I hope they don’t, I feel as though they would probably nerf it with it either having a lower jump or something else

I don’t care either way, I’ll just adapt.

Is there a reason you’re so combative/negative on the forums?

Oh great, just perfect. They’re probably going to put it on a long cool down and do something unnecessary like cap it’s max height.

It wasn’t even confirmed - they said they will look into it and not that it’s coming…

I hope that they don’t do it, I don’t think console has enough buttons left for that. I’d much prefer for a hybrid GA option.
