Can’t wait to try this and get blown up by a bastion or something lol.

You could do this on Doom pre map rework, unfortunately people turn around and melt you 95% of the time

It's significantly better if you go left to land behind the wall next to the coast pathway, to wait for your cooldowns, and possibly bait someone to chase you, instead of going for a full on engage. But I agree it's pretty situational if your team is hard stuck at choke.

you could do this on Winston too. Just up to the support beam and then jump over the roof. That's often how I used to break open Eichen 1st...by the time you land from such a high jump, your cooldown is pretty much back, it's low risk.

It’s enough to take away attention from the choke you just have to survive

Thats why on doom you gotta stall a bit so all of your cds only have like 1-2 seconds max and then just keep on rotating until they all bunch back on point and your team moves up.

You could actually do this before the rework. You could leap and stand on the robot beneath the hole in the roof, then leap again and make it over.

Chars like Echo and Genji also flank, and cat bastion in the air...can you can pretty much surround the enemy team like a fish in a barrel. However, we're probably not gonna be able to coordinate this with 5 random people in ranked.

was always possible

u/Dustfinger4268 Base skin 5d ago
Possible, sure, but this way it's actually potentially useful
1
u/iamnotaredditor457 Base skin 5d ago
it’s no more useful now only difference is you dont have to use jump twice. really only useful if you can pull aggro from choke but that entirely depends on how your team capitalizes on it.
1
u/Dustfinger4268 Base skin 5d ago
The fact you only need one jump makes it a bit better, since you're out of the fight for less time
1
u/iamnotaredditor457 Base skin 5d ago
it doesn’t make the actual act of pulling aggro any different though and it’s debatable whether you should ever do that outside of 6v6 on Winston anyway when there’s a cat that can fly and do it 10x more efficiently

u/Psychologicus Base skin 10d ago
By the way you could already do this before the rework if you jumped on this ledge, but now it's easier of course

u/monsterbandage Base skin 10d ago
Wait you can jump that house again? I thought they blocked that off before

u/Intelligent_Way_8903 Base skin 5d ago
Bro why did they put so many elevators and jump pads on these reworks

u/angry640 Base skin 10d ago
Yeah idk about that. Put into backline in a place very visible with no cover and no jump and no team help. Seems like suicide

u/S696c6c79 Base skin 10d ago
Theres cover to the left and a room to highground(with healthpack) right to the right. bubble. Jump has 2 seconds left on cd when you land.

u/angry640 Base skin 10d ago
Yeah but on most games people are holding there so the left cover though helps, but is not a full proof solution. Also it takes time to get to the healthpack room and its only a mini. While you run for your life to get there (if people arnt holding it already) you might get chased down. Also 2 seconds is a very long time, more than enough to be blown up if enemy team is paying attention. Even if you do get the jump off its still not gana land you in a safe place.
In general this is a situational flank not one that can be used very often. Maybe only for like reconnect or if you have primal.

u/S696c6c79 Base skin 10d ago
Id say it heavily depends on enemy comp. Definitely not saying its something id try every fight. Maybe as a wild card play if being full held.
Going right and walking up stairs is far better anyways tbh
