So I gotta say. The idea of making the Mercy Super jump an ability is cool. But I do think that its worse than the actual super jump. You cant really do the movement you have in ow1. I mean yeah if you are as close as possible to your target you shoot high into the sky but is it really that rewarding? The thing about the super jump is that it was hard to perform and highly rewarding. That is why the super jump was so incredible. Now the superjump got nerfed. It is good for newer players or people who dont really play mercy. But I believe its bad for mercy mains and good mercy players.

that’s a shame. i enjoyed the superjump being a trick, niche kind of move that took time to learn and was very rewarding in the right situations, ie; doing an evasive rez, or quickly getting to high ground to heal someone.
I guess they wanted to give her an airborne ability and it didn’t make sense having a superjump ability AND the superjump trick at once.
In an ideal world, they would have left the superjump alone and given her a new, fresh ability.
I mean I had the idea that blizzard makes it an control option just like the one with beam target and facing target to turn on and off. Would be a lot easier tho
yeah i agree. i think there were some more difficult mercy techs like backward GA jump and using wall and other stuff. i put so much time into practicing the techs but now they just arent possible. it makes a character that has a low skill floor also have a lower skill ceiling.

People who say the mercy super jump change is a buff are the people who never play mercy or barely play her. People who main her or play her professionally will agree that this change is more of a nerf to her movement than a buff. I hope they make an option in the controls out of it.

Overwatch 2 goodbye to SJREZ.
By making the superjump a default move you can now no longer control the angle or distance of the jump itself (doing a long instead of vertical jump), though you can superjump from anywhere, but you cant superjump rez… so its not just helping new players get more abilities with mercy and changing her mobility, its actually a debuff for her as well with any player that was previously using the move.

sincerely i dont like the changes that they have been making recently .makes me want to play ow less and less. support are way too weak in ow2 .
unless they do something about it ,support will be easy prey for tank and dps and this will lead to another problem .more queue time for everybody as very less people will queue up for support and i dont think just adding new support will improve anything as blizzard developer think . just my 2 cents.
Hot take: they removed all skillcap from Mercy when they nerfed GA speed years ago. The time period between 5 man rezzing and the GA nerf was where Mercy had a skillcap that let good Mercies be evasion tanks.
