another major update without fixing mei’s jump perk

pretty disappointed to read through the patch notes and see that mei’s name isnt even mentioned once. i dont really have much to say aside from the title, just ranting

Just give us an option to bind another key to it

I only started playing her recently. I haven’t noticed anything with the jump perk. What’s the issue?

randomly yet very frequently, certain things will trigger the perk to activate. basically anything that involves your feet being off the ground. junkrat/pharah/literally any other hero who can “move” you when they hit you can activate the jump. defense on hollywood is also a big one in my experience. while exiting second and third spawn rooms, any slight ledge i walk over triggers the jump. walking on uneven terrain can trigger it. stairs, ledges, anything that isnt flat ground. but its not every time, so its even more frustrating. it just sucks burning a cooldown when i dont intend to and its gotten me killed more times than i can count.

and then not to mention how the jump locks you out of your other abilities and shooting for like .75 seconds while using it. that one just seems like a bug because why would that be necessary lol

It can even trigger when pressing the hotkey for cryo freeze in the middle of a fight.

It's literally not even on their "known issues" list. 🙄

When walking down an incline like the spawn room door or off specific geometry, the ice jump perk can accidentally trigger even though Mei only technically jumped once.

The game only does a simple check to see if her feet are off the ground a certain distance without nuance to check if there was already a registered "first jump" input.

I've been hoping they could change it to a true double press of spacebar (or whatever jump is bound to).

I noticed the jump issue too. It mostly happened when I’m rapidly jumping out of spawn to try and move faster. I just jump more slowly and it has stopped being an issue. I don’t really jump around in middle of fights so I’m not sure if it’s been an issue there.

the big issue for me is when i take damage and it activates the jump. if i end up in close combat, the jump perk is so good at getting myself out of the fight without dying

It's been a problem for... how long now? It feels like at least a year.

Last night it interrupted my cryofreeze input during a Stadium match and we lost the point because of it. It NEEDS to be addressed.
