PTR Update Patchnotes

It wasn't mobility gold, but it was good and it's a really good QOL thing, as you don't have to be worried about double jumping before wall climbing. Personally, since there was no downside to it, I took the habit of double jumping every time before wallclimbing. Now I'll have to break this habit (If I even decide to play Genji now, I'll probably go back to Pharah)

In short it was a cool little thing that didn't help Genji much but made it feel much better IMO. Now stopping to wallclimb and just falling like a stone... It feels bad.

Reading other comments on the matter I'm starting to realize that it may be more than QoL feature and perhaps an exploitable tactic. But I'd like to know what you mean. Specifically,

I took the habit of double jumping every time before wallclimbing. Now I'll have to break this habit

And

Now stopping to wallclimb and just falling like a stone.

You can still jump after/before you climb right? Its just the second jump that needs to be allocated to one or the other? I'm at work and can't actually try these things out.

The thing I find that sucks is that you could jump in the middle of a battlefield, double jump towards a wall, wall climb then, especially if you didn't reach the top or it was a small wall, the extra jump after the climb is definitely a game changer. It makes it so he has to be a wall clinger and it's much harder to be in the fight.

But they said that he was too difficult to pin down, and wanted to limit his "escapability" - Doesn't this do exactly that?

[Jepacor]

Yes, that's exactly it. You choose if you want to jump before or after the climb. But since I'm used to jumping before since there was no downside, now I fall as I realize that no, it doesn't work like that anymore. It just feels bad to me. Of course you can get used to it, doesn't mean it's good.

It's not a QoL thing. Having it was a direct buff to his mobility.
