4 reasons you SHOULD be bunny hopping in battle

1) Line of Sight
• Allows you to still hit your opponents as they try to hid behind a rock or crate.
• Denies opponents the ability to hide behind their zerg as you attempt to burst them down.

2) Situational Awareness
• Keep your full speed whilst jumping and doing a 360 spin with your camera to see how many opponents are chasing you.

3) Block Jumping
• Have a ~90% uptime on block with NO movement penalty.

4) Negate Self Snaring Skills (forgot to mention in video)
• Jump + cast allows you to keep full speed while using skills that would otherwise slow you down.


I made this video and post because a vast majority of the community seems to thoroughly misunderstand bunny hopping. I hope my explanation will help counter some truly crazy suggestions that it's a symptom of mental illness demonstrated in this thread, and many more like it. Outside of active combat bunny is also used so signal friendliness (combined with blocking) or to try and get the attention of some players at the edge of a zerg to come fight you.

I see a patch to "fix" 3 and 4 coming in the future

GreenhaloX

Nahh, you guys look more like kangeroos than bunny wabbits. Ha ha. Hey, whatever works.. do your thing.

Stinkyremy

Bunny hopping is cancer in all games, and every FPS game is full of it.
just leave that crap for quake.

Solariken

Lol I like how you took the extra time to draw the sun in your LOS illustration. Bonus points for artistry.

It would probably also have been worth mentioning that hopping can sometimes cause things like heavy attacks and gap closers against you to miss.

not worth looking like an 8 year old fortnite kiddy, sorry im not going to throw my pride away for a 2% advantage in a videogame

Betsararie

Jumping has clear advantages in combat and thus makes perfect sense to do. I also am not triggered if I happen to see someone hopping around in Cyro or even in PVE zones.

Rohamad_Ali

Thank you for proving to other that this one is not mentally ill

AlienatedGoat

Still looks ridiculous and childish.

Takes me back to the days of Halo where everyone was leaping around noscoping with sniper rifles or sticking you with grenades while in midair.

Jumping in combat increases damage by 10% - fact

Gilvoth

Most of them ARE 8yo kids...

5) It triggers the hell out of people who are easily annoyed by everything others do that doesn’t fit in their view.

This one outweighs the rest xD

Sigma957

Always funny knocking some one on their a*** while they are jumping around and then they die because they couldn't recover

Vapirko

I always loathed hopping mag sorcs. Then I started to level one and I can’t stop jumping around. I kind of hate myself for it but there is definitely something to be said about the sluggish nature of remaining in contact with the ground all the time and casting spells. Jumping really does make battle flow more smoothly. In PvE it doesn’t matter so much but in PvP it does.

Enslaved

5) its super annoying, makes you look like a jerk and players will focus you. Not bad for tanking, kinda of a ranged taunt I guess.

Armatesz

Jumping also makes it so you take an extra longer stun from clench... let that sink in. That is quite real and it makes me chuckle.

Horker

Bunny hopping to line of sight is weak and pathethic, YOU CRITICAL CHARGE FOR EXAMPLE TOWARDS YOUR TARGET, RIGHT TROUGH THE MASSIVE ZERG, YOU IGNORE ALL, YOU SPAM IMMOVABLE POTS AND SMASH THEM IN THE NUTS!!!!!!
See, i have a rage problem whenever i see or smell testicl3s of my enemies i cant contain my inner rage.

Even tough you might have a 99% change of failing, you MUST in all occasions PUSH towards whatever is your target! this way is the only way to prove yourself as a proud Orc in the name of Malacath!

Wrecking_Blow_Spam

Yes but riddle me this...
Why do bunny hoppers hop around to everywhere in PVE? I understand they practicing their rotation, as you see them barswap and fire off skills, whilst light attacking in between (all whilst running to a point and hopping).
To me this is weird and unhealthy behaviour, maybe as a one off but when they do it everywhere then I think they need to just shut off for a moment.

Berenhir

As you cannot dodge roll while jumping just wait for them sorcs to be mid air before you let them eat your damage combo.

The extreme on halo, was to jump and spam your crouch button mid air - during a Battle Rifle (BR) standoff.

Bonus points for brandishing your axe with the fire memento mid battle when the boss does his burst damage. Will get you the utmost respect from your healer and the admiration of fellow Orcs.

If bunny hopping throws your pride away, your pride might be based on the wrong things .

Carbonised

ZOS, please make players unable to initiate any skills or block while jumping, and make jumping cancel any blocking or skill casting already initiated.

Pvp jumping needs to die, its a disgrace upon the game.

AnviOfVai

i always bunny hop to check how many players are coming and if i can hit any while jumping up and down!

Why not? Are you afraid of something?
