Super jump has been a thing for so long, but now it’s a problem. I bet you it’s a whole other story if your mercy uses it.

XQC made a big deal about it, so now it’s everyone’s problem.

Just because it has been a thing for so long it does not mean it’s not broken. I personally always said it’s broken since it appeared last year and I still did not change my mind about it. Sure it’s funny to use and annoy the DPS player with it but so was Brigittes flying whip shot or Genji’s ledge dash.
And it’s not a different story if the Mercy in your team uses it, it’s still something that should not exist, something similar happened with Brigitte, the enemy used her so your team did too. Did that make people like Brigitte more? No, not really.

The devs already know about it. It’s been talked about once before, I don’t think they’re fixing it any time soon.

It’s weird that they know about it but don’t fix it, it’s not intended and therefore a bug. If they want to be consistent (like they said they want to be) they should simply fix it.
To be honest, I don’t think you can fix it at all, but I don’t know much about coding.
XQC cried about it because a Mercy used it to get away from him on stream while he was playing Orisa
Now everyone is bandwagoning because “it’s a bug” while ignoring every other movement glitch that hasn’t been spoken publicly about and with Blizzard saying you can use spacebar to sling yourself further in a patch note.

All you would need to do is force cancel crouch before guardian angel and it would be impossible. There are many other fairly easy potential solutions other than that though.

I don’t know a lot about coding either but if they managed to get the previous, similar bugs out of the game I guess they can somehow manage to do it with the super jump as well and while they are at it, they might be able to fix the GA targeting into walls as well.
The targeting into walls is intentional, there’s a setting for that.
But it even happens with that setting turned off some times. You start flying and instantly land on your feet again, setting GA on CD.
There are multiple ways to super jump though, unless it’s just for console. Sometimes by accident. It’s a bug, but a good one, and maybe they might make it a new ability.
I personally don’t agree with making super jump an actual ability. Mercy already has enough survivability, depending on the team she has more or less vertical movement and escape situations. In comps where no character can enable this vertical escape point you can make up for that with super jump.
So one of her weaknesses would be canceled out which I don’t think should happen. Pharah for example doesn’t really have any horizontal speed up unless you use concussive blast on a wall near you (which also requires a wall near you or you being on the ground) which is a flaw of her that is intended to be like that. No one would want her to be changed that she can juse her jet pack boost as a horizontal speedup by looking down or something like that because that’s basically one of her weak points.

People hate it now because mercy should be a free kill in some peoples book.

Well, I for one did not form my opinion from that clip of XQC raging like he always does. I never liked super jump (because for me it is exploiting) from when it first came up.
Flog that dead horse.
