It was and always has been a glitch. It makes her far too difficult to hit and gives her inordinate value. I used to fiercely defend Mercy, but this change has got to go for the health of the game.

What’s your definition of that?

Except it hasn’t been a “glitch” for the last year and a half since it was officially coded in as a feature so…

As a rein main, super jump has never mattered, the further away she is from her teammates, the easier she is to pick off.
Just gotta do better, mate.

She’s basically always in the air with hardly any time on foot.
I swear most Mercys spend a total of 10% of the match actually on the ground.
She’s much harder to hit now than she was before because she’s constantly ping ponging between all her teammates while also launching into the air.
Left, up, diagonal down left, up, diagonal down right, right, up, down, right, up, diagonal down left, up, down, up…
It’s awful to play against.

I play a lot of projectile heroes and I have never had any issues with Mercy’s movement

This.
It used to be tech, but they removed it. It’s not part of her kit.
Also if this is the merit we’re going off of, guess we gotta adjust Doomfist so that he can’t move unfairly, either.

There’s about a million and one originally unintended tech to heroes, and especially all the mobility abilities have extra momentum. They’re only glitches if Blizzard decides they are, and in Mercy’s case, they have long since decided Super Jump is 100% an intentional mechanic.
Besides, there’s no world in which Blizzard would do such major nerf to her mobility (and inevitably face carnage from the Mercy mafia) without any compensation. So what would you like instead? More healing and/or damage boost? God forbid a buffed rez? You really think that would be any more fun to play into than a tricky to kill but otherwise largely pointless gnat?
That’s the thing people just fail to understand
They remove her one strong thing, being hard to kill, and then they’ll have to buff other parts of her kit to make up for it, and all the rage tears if Mercy can effect the game

It started as a bug. Remained a bug for years. Now they made it an actual part of her kit.

this is my favorite thing i see in gaming, a glitch exists and ppl call it tech.
this has nothing to do with mercy but its just funny to see that because so many glitches get fixed and ppl mald.
like the really old genji ledge dash

I honestly think the actual superjump bug was healthier for Mercy than the “feature” superjump. I miss it.

Im not against glitched techs being implemented as features.
But i am against it when they ALWAYS fix those and suddenly decide to make it an easy feature for a single hero.
(Probably because she is the most lucrative one)
But when other heroes gets one : fixed.

Which heroes?
Only ones I can think of are detrimental ones that Doomfist has
Brig shield bash super jump or genji wall jump for similar bugged techs that got removed.

You can still do a few of the Brig jumps
And the Genji one was SUPER broken to be left in

As I said in the post, I usually defend mercy. So as long as it’s not a damage boost buff, you could buff any other part of her kit. And I think it would be completely justified in exchange for lower mobility. I don’t want mercy to be bad. I just think her mobility is way too good right now.
About the only counter to her as a Winston, and that’s assuming the enemy team isn’t hard-countering him.
MOAR PISTOL DAMAGE! Battle mercy

and once you think you got her in a bad spot she becomes the queen moth
