I wanted to put this video out there for the people who are arguing over whether or not the Mercy Super Jump is considered a bug or not and whether it should remain in the game as a result.
This is the video, time-stamped to the point the topic of Super Jump comes up:
This video was broadcasted during the Overwatch League this year and then later uploaded to the Official Overwatch League YouTube channel on April 19th 2019.
In the video, Harryhook, from Dallas Fuel, describes how to execute the Super Jump by pressing Crouch and Guardian Angel simultaneously. This is among other tips for Mercy such as sensitivity settings and how to pull off a successful Resurrection.
Do with this video what you will in light of the recent debates on the matter of Super Jump.
The second best mobility support, with the best utility, the most consitant healing, damage boost on demand, the ability to avoid most ults with her own, Strong AoE group healing or damage boosting again on demand with her ult, plus being really slippery when she is dashing around with Guardian Angel. She does not need to be more slippery than she already is.
So about 52-53% winrate from Diamond to Grandmaster is someone who is rubbish ? with a 5% pickrate in both masters and grandmasters ? Please explain that logic.
LMFAO superjump only makes mercy get to highground, or help her reposition to somewhere bunny hopping wouldn’t get her to.
she falls and goes upwards in a predictable pattern, superjumping too much gets you killed more often than it gets you to safety, (ETA: Which is why as you go up the ranks you see less mercys using superjump because it makes mercy an easy target for hitscans, who are better in higher ranks) without it she wouldn’t be able to get to highground during team fights to ensure she lives long enough to balance the fight to her teams favour, but go off i guess
So basicly the the top 13 % percent of the player base. Now pan down to where MORE THAN HALF THE PLAYERBASE is bronze to gold is 46.59 to 49.88 with plat barelr in the positive with 51.66. These are also the tiers where she is supposed to do well, yet even Ana a high skill hero is close to beating her in the lowtiers as well. But I guess dps won’t stop untill she can only stand still with a kill me auto lock button attached to her.
Sounds like Mercy has the Baptiste Crouch jump ability without the Icon. And if it’s so detrimental, we better get rid of it before more Mercy players get duck hunted.
That they show you how to do it during owl doesn’t change that.
The devs being OKAY with the result, wouldn’t change that.
It’s 100% “still a bug”.
Which is fine. “Bug” isn’t a dirty word. Bugs frequently get turned into accepted features all the time. Sometimes unexpected or unintended outcomes are bad.
Cute that you did not include my whole post, but okay, I get it, she’s not fun for you, but she is viable, and good, even if you don’t believe it. I know you want her to be OP again but that won’t happen.
Yeah, she has some nice stuff. Superjump is a tiny advanced use part of that existing kit (not a bug) - its nice, but it doesnt stop her from being, y’know… shot…
