This bug has existed for too long. I always hear the excuse that it’s hard/takes skill. I watched a 30sec tutorial and did it first try 3 times in a row. Pls fix. A hero shouldn’t depend on bugs to be good.
edit: just did it using my face. i hit ctrl+shift with my forehead and then hit spacebar. ezpz.
I think it’s fine, it makes her sniper food when she does it. Also super jump is just one tech she can do. There’s at least 5 other jumps she can use that are much harder
A mercy super jumped once to a higher location into a sombras concealed translocator, destroying it, how is that ‘trivial’?? Using exploits to escape certain death situation doesn’t feel right, mistakes of bad positioning should be punished.
I mean, OWL tip videos on Mercy encourage players to use it (as opposed to, for example, multiple Doomfist rollouts that you can do in ranked but are banned in tournament play).
I’m going to take a wild guess and say Blizzard is perfectly okay with super jump. I would also say to players facing it and thinking it’s “unfair”: stop whining and learn how to aim. Mercy is difficult to eliminate, but she’s not that difficult.
And it sounds like something being used to get from a bad position to a good position, AND it can land you in the opposite as well. Trust me I know. I rarely use it to just go straight up. That can mean death, but I will use it to pop up to a high ground spot or get above damage. Also tend to use the flutter so her wings stay shut when floating to keep her hitbox smaller. (rapid tapping of her glide)
Lots of tricks, she isn’t as braindead a hero to play as people think.
It’s one of the things that keep High Skill players interested in playing Mercy. Remove it and you pretty much remove Mercy from the game at any level beyond Gold.
They actually gave an official response a month and a half ago in their Reddit AMA!
Geoff said it’s considered consistent and balanced and is here to stay, and is the result of an intentional feature they put in after they fixed her ACTUAL bugged movement mechanic.
