How To Improve Bounce

[shut]

-Reduce the activation delay (i.e. make the bouncepad appear immediately upon contacting a surface)

-Reduce energy cost from 50 to 25, so it will see more use (since most Vaubans I see who are serious about high-tier gameplay have the slot Forma'd out entirely...)

 

Thoughts? Additions?

Make it cost 10 because super jump.

super jump is one time use. you can use bounce many times. i do think it should be lowerd to at least 20 energy

Make it so when you throw it on players.....they go even farther ( *-*)

25 energy. nothin more to say, and you already said it.

Allow players to choose whether or not they're affected by Bounce. Only activating when said player jumps while inside the bounce radius.

I think it'd be nice to have momentum be kept in Bounce jumps - it'd make it more useful for getting around because it wouldn't shunt you straight up, but rather in an arc. As it is, I rarely use it because I simply rarely need to go straight up.

Do any mods affect bounce at all? I would like to see power strength increase that height or the amount of bounces available.

You can get more uses out of a single Bounce, though, including ragdolling an incoming Heavy unit that you don't need attacking a distracted group, creating trampoline traps at enemy spawn points, and giving each pad more than once use so teammates behind you can use it as well if you're all jumping over the same object or something. I think 25 energy is just fine.
