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.

    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. B)

    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.

    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.

    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.

    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.

    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!

    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.

    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.

    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.
