Mercy super jump is dumb

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

Blizzard has already been 110% clear that they consider it to be a game mechanic now and thoroughly approve of it.

Super jump ain’t going anywhere, get over it already.

It is not a bug it was approved by the devs themselves

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.

In a Reddit AMA, they said they were going to keep it. So have fun seeing it in game.

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.

Goodman on the AMA considers it tech. Mentioned how they took it out, polished it up slightly-as in fixed the model clipping-and put it back in.

Sorry my dude, the devs like it, and it’s staying. It ain’t a bug anymore.

Stay mad.

It is here to stay buddy. Devs even discussed making super jump an actual ability with a button to use it and probably a cool down added to it.

I haven’t seen anybody use it for over a month but It’s annoying when they do it :smiley:

Not an exploit if its permitted.

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.

The devs said in the AMA that it’s going to stay in the game. Think of it as mercys second passive. Plus it’s not even that good.

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.

I am almost certain I’ve seen this thread somewhere .-.

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.

I mean not really. Doing rollouts over diamond is basically throwing.
