I wish flying characters had more interesting movement.

There’s no momentum or inertia to their movement. It doesn’t feel like I’m controlling someone who can fly, it feels more like I enabled noclip mode in the console. It’s more fun “flying” as Spider-Man because of how much nuance there is to your movement.

it fundamentally goes against the advantages of flying characters as if one did have interesting movement then they would maybe be busted as hell

I’m not asking for them to start flying around at supersonic speed. Just that having free and infinite flight with perfect 1:1 air control makes these characters extremely boring to play.

I will give Overwatch credit for one thing - they made their "flying" characters have some nuance and skill expression in their movement.

This is so true. Practicing as Human Torch feels I'm selecting an item on MS Paint to click and drag across the background, and it looks the same way for every other flyer from what I've seen.

At least give them some animation so they don't feel like a paper bag blowing in the wind

Another consequence of flyers being how they are currently, is that every match you have at least one player sitting in low orbit just ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ damage out uncontested because most of the opposing team never wants to look up.

Then there's characters like Ben who just can't do anything about them.

Flying isn't interesting movement and I don't really think there's any way to make it interesting. I think they should add another wallrunner, maybe another grappling hook user, or just straight up add a guy that explosive jumps (Deadpool? I dont think anyone else is crazy enough) for more interesting movement.

no. being able to fly is already an unfair inherent advantage in this game, forcing many characters to switch to even be able to deal with them.
