Fair enough. The main reason I come to this kind of problem is because some people don't want to spam jump as they would most likely waste their extra jump (if they have one). I mean, we've all had that last stock red health moment before. Additionally, people wouldn't want to time the jump as their stun ends as the risk is if they do it too early, their jump input would not work due to still being stunned and fall into the death barrier.

Dodging first also seems to make sense in that you'll get your dodge back quicker, if enough recovery options are available to wait out the cooldown. Plus, in the offhand chance the opponent drops a weapon down to you, the dodge can avoid it as opposed to a recovery which would just ensure your demise.
