So that's how those prisoners felt.
If you're facing a good sniper bunnyhopping is actually bad because you put yourself on a predictable trajectory.
Yeah that's what I meant. Removing the bunny hop and having people simply juke would make things more difficult.
It helps heroes like Junkrat if you bunny hop because catching someone mid air with a mine sends em flying.
It also makes a delightful rag doll effect if they get smacked mid air with Reins hammer.
Ah, you're right, I parsed that wrong.
[Edit: Below is a separate thought]
I don't think bunnyhopping is an issue in general with most heroes, but I do get extremely annoyed by Soldiers and Syms that do it.
And baby D.Va, but it fits her lore so that's okay.
Well yeah but she's not going to kill you first in that situation, whereas the other characters very much can.
Unless you're this Tracer:
Sometimes their switch is awful.
"Oh man that Bastion is ripping us up we need a-oh... a Torb... of course..."
What is the cancer counter again?
I'm going to write it on an index card this time, I promise.
It was a bad situational pick.
Actually kind of a bad pick period if you're trying to down a double shielded Bastion.
But I guess with only Tracer, Sombra, Junkrat, Pharah, Mei, Genji, and Reaper as better choices they were kinda limited.
And Widowmaker is a boss deleter, plain and simple. The critical shot hitboxes on the heavies are absolutely huge, so every single shot should be a crit hit. She's also perfectly situated as a counter-sniper...so, the only one that gives her a pause are the assassins. As a Widow, I've consistently been top specialist damage and elimination...on a team with a Bastion as the other damage dealer. She's actually pretty nasty in this event.
However, with all that said, I was chatting with a buddy of mine over which heroes would work and which wouldn't (conceptually), and we figured Torb, Widow, Symmetra, and a whole host of others would be absolutely terrible...but after we tried them out, found out they worked surprisingly well. So maybe I just need to try out Pharah and Junkrat and see how they play in the event. Y'know, instead of relying on watching possible windowlickers try to play them in the mode.

This is why I lock in last. If I see that comp, I'll just eat the AFK timeout.
I do theoretically actually have to tank/heal as a team in pve content though.
The shame of it.
I'm not a hopper, on widow or otherwise (unless I am extremely bored). I won a widow duel tonight with a hopper and just cleaned her up because she was too close for one thing, and her hopping just made her trajectory very predictable.
Although I did get blasted by a hopping hanzo last night who leapt off the tall platform on rhs of blizzard world choke and one-shotted me TWICE as we were trying to break through. I was annoyed but impressed.
Don't use concussion mines on Assassins, I use the trap and it locks her into place for easy feed
Concussion mines are just used to finish off enemies and knock enemies out of bounds
Please refer back to the end of my post and my mentioning of windowlickers. :P

Bruh, I need to practice Doomfish to git gud. I'm slowly figuring out the finesse of this character.
Doomfist is best practiced in Deathmatch IME.
As much as I don't like DM, I might give it a shot.
Yeah, I don't either but the way it's a bunch of into-fight, out-of-fight cycles makes it a lot easier to get in a groove on him than trying to flail your way to that pattern in a regular game.
I'm winning DMs with Doomfist pretty often now, I should try breaking him out in QP a bit.
