Tbh i feel like the superjump wasn't even that hard to do originally and this change is unnecessary. There's more excuse to call her a "brainless" character now that they removed the one thing that gave her kit a bit more mechanical skill 😂
I like the change, bause thy didnt take out the old super jump for it so now you can combine the new and old superjump together witch gives you a lot more options. I use the new super jump to mix up my slingshots but i can also still super jump rez with the old one i think it gives mercy a higher skill ceiling and a lower skill floor at the same time. Oh and doing the old superjump timing only got harder too.
I think this is great for unpredicatble movement as you can do it from normal GA and casting the Superjump GA which both look different and maybe people can get thrown off since you can do it from as soon as you GA or Middle, or the end, any time.
Albeit this is nice and accessible for people who couldn’t do it properly, OW2 is insanely dom-daddy’d by MLM76 and other hitscans to literally just pick you off nice and easy.
I don’t mind the new change, BUT my muscle memory has been tuned so much to do the super jump tech that It’ll be easier to mess up my flight pattern if I accidentally hit crouch when I don’t want to. I also feel like they’re making mercy easier and I feel like her skill level has dropped immensely because everyone can do ot
As a console player successfully pulling off a super jump every time was difficult and I opted out of using it most of the time but I again im a casual player and only every reached mid plat so others might have different options
No surprise i've seen that b* in the air non stop… I'm not happy i'd rather see buff on right click or maybe bust of heal for first time you connect to player. Endless super jump is a dumb idea. She gonna be such a brainless character to play from now on, since super jump and proper positioning was the biggest difference between a skilled player and someone new to the game.
i know the bindings are different on console but.. pressing L shift and L cntrl at the same time was never a challenge. i feel like this is unnecessary imo however if this is the direction they are taking her, i just hope she doesnt get the brig/lucio treatment and get nerfed to sh*t later down the line
Even if being able to gain that crazy height is a bit much, I feel like this is a net nerf. Not being able to control your height makes your movement more predictable, and one of the main uses of SJ was unpredictability. I feel like aside from altering or removing mega jump, they should allow you to cancel your jump (like you could with original sj) by pressing ga or crouch again after the initial ga->crouch. If that was a thing, I wouldn't have a problem with this change because of being able to sj at a distance from your target. Aside from peaking, old sj's biggest weakness was needing to get right beside a teammate.
Hoshi! with this new patch you should try to do the old super jump but this time using ctrl to jump intead of space bar, you will jump higher than just use "shift + ctrl" I mean… now you can do a super super jump (?)
Cool and all but I think its not a good idea.. Being a mercy main for now 3 years was always hard for me to show others that I can do things and I'm not just a pocket.. I think keeping it like in ow1 would give others a better feeling I guess? Like I dunno what I'm trying to say but.. I think if U feel the same you'll get it.. like I said.. actually I hate changes for mercy because if I see someone handling it better (way much better) I always feel depressed cause I'm so used to the old one ya know?
The change is nice and all, but Mercy needs a direct buff through the form of added utility or a change to her Rez. She's literally getting outclassed by every healer whether it's through damage (Moira, Zen, and Brig), healing (Lucio and Ana), or raw utility. Consistent healing means nothing anymore in a meta where burst damage is supreme and trickling is even more severe now. She needs more methods of making impactful plays.
Even if you play the most skillful hero in the game someone will call you trash lol so I can care less about what someone thinks about me playing a hero. I like the change because it's now 100% reliable rather than 60% (god knows the percentage for controller players lol) but I do hope they will at least give us some way to control how high you want to go because hitscan do be doin lol. Otherwise I'm pretty happy with it ☺️.
Honestly this patch should definitely be for console because before you couldn't just do both crouch and guardian angel to do a super jump, you had to time it right and hit crouch a split second after releasing guardian angel, so for us this could help tons in a fight
I sure would love it if blizzard would just give Mercy an actual kit and stop lowering her skill ceiling and potential for skill expression every single update they do.
It really wasn’t “skillful” though it was a non-intentional and kinda random technique you could use if you practiced it. I think that’s it’s a buff mercy and more casual players needed especially going in Overwatch 2 where it seems supports are lacking a little. ❤️
I don’t like this change because as a highly skilled mercy in mechanics I’m kind of offended because it requires less skill than it did. Like it was nice doing a super jump res but now it’s just going to be more easy than usual. Plus it’s not even hard to super jump before the mercy sj rework.
This is just a huge nerf to mercy and to her rez once again cuz like now u cant do the so called super jump rez plus it requires less skill to do it and now all those Hanzo genji cass etc mains who call mercy a brain dead hero are gonna do that again about the super jump
With all of the nerfs to her and healing in general since all support now passive heal mercy needs to be able to use this new trick permanently because not like she can dps from the sky nonstop she’ll still get shot down easily she’s got nothing new going for her now other then same old damage boost
Now we gotta figure out how to stop superjumping. I ran into a problem as I was trying to rez and got launched from it, seen other mercy players with the same issue in the Betta. just workin out the kinks is all.

it isn't hard on console but it's definitely easier to mess up the sj, so this change will be really useful for console players imo
yeap im a fan of it
shushhhhhhh mercy having indefinite flight is a good and bad thing…not a bug….if you dumb enough to be widow food you deserve it. 😂😂😂😂😂😂

A character with wings should be able to fly at any point in the game-

They should make this an optional thing. Like something you could turn on in the settings. Because the older one was much easier for me.

I think the whole jump should be patched. lol

Did it have impact on other things she can do? Like bunny hopping, slingshotting, reverse GA, superjump rez etc?
its not even hard to do😭😭 it takes like 10mins to learn
I found out that if you hold shift then press crtl+Space at the same time, you sky rocket up fast and high.

Is oke but like every mercy main knows how to super jump at this point

Is it patched? I don't know how to do it

idk i was never able to super jump so this is nice
i feel like then the ult wouldn't serve much of a purpose other than multi-healing
This is just a huge nerf to mercy and to her rez once again cuz like now u cant do the so called super jump rez plus it requires less skill to do it and now all those Hanzo genji cass etc mains who call mercy a brain dead hero are gonna do that again about the super jump
not a fan of this change so broken mercy doesnt require skill now 😢😢
I guess they just wanted to make the super jump a official thing and not just a glitch
With all of the nerfs to her and healing in general since all support now passive heal mercy needs to be able to use this new trick permanently because not like she can dps from the sky nonstop she’ll still get shot down easily she’s got nothing new going for her now other then same old damage boost
I play console and my buttons aren’t set up to do the “skilled” super jump. So I love this
Now we gotta figure out how to stop superjumping. I ran into a problem as I was trying to rez and got launched from it, seen other mercy players with the same issue in the Betta. just workin out the kinks is all.
thats cracked
i smell lions pride
its not broken, its blessed
