With the new OW2 patch, super jumping is non-existent / almost impossible. Her GA is too complicated. I understand that their original thought was to make super jumping easier for new or lower ranked players, but they need to have a TOGGLE OPTION IN HER SETTINGS!!! Let people choose if they want new or old GA, and KEEP SUPER JUMP WITH CROUCH!!!
They won’t do that, because im almost certain that the point of the GA change was to nerf SJ not make it easier like they said.
His thing would have been to leave the one from the first beta with some adjustments and fix other problems that Mercy really has in OW2… but… the devs are obsessed with superjump.
I’m pretty certain that the point was just to avoid cheese, but they didn’t make the GA-charge high enough for normal gameplay.
I.e. Avoid this stuff
All they need to do is make it so that standing on the ground for a split second gives you full GA-charge.
I don’t think they ever intend to keep super jump based on it’s ow1 iteration. Or at least it seems to me they’re trying to officialize it as purposely built-in ability than a side effect of an unintended ability.
I’m thinking about this quote from Blizzard.
“Mercy’s mobility has always been a core part of her kit and we will continue to look for ways to accentuate it and make it more accessible for everyone.”
Her first patch for SJ seemed to have the goal of allowing any player to use it without shift. And I feel like I remember seeing somewhere that their idea was to also keep her old SJ tech for people who have already been using it.
