As you probably know, using left handed viewmodels DOES change wich side the projectile comes out of! This is very useful for thoes who are left handed but, makes rocket jumping on current jump maps very difficult. Becuase of this, I request that a mirrored virsion of the jump academy and others is created so that everyone can use them.

In my opinion left handed wallshots are not harder when you're right handed. It's just we learn right walls first so we're more used to them. I don't see why left hand wellshots would be any different.

The original would be slightly less work on your wrist and i don't understand how it could be worse.

jump_babylon alternates right and left walls so maybe you'll find that map useful

A mirrored jump_academy would be cool but i don't think it's warranted

I'm working on a map right now where C2 is a mirrored version of C1, if you were looking to practice left wallshots. It won't be out for a while so you'll have to sit tight.

Mirroring a map isn't hard though, there's an option for it in hammer so it only really takes 2 clicks. The problem comes from de-compiling and re-compiling a map with custom content like jump_academy. You may want to contact the creator of jump_academy if you're dead set on having a mirrored version of that specific map.

I'm all for left handed maps though I don't think there should be dedicated mirrored versions. I hope that future maps will offer left walls when attempting jumps and I know that some already do.

agree whenever you see wallshot areas just try it lefty is not really that hard, like carrot bonuses and whatnot
most jumpers do left handed wallshots when its a long haul like carrot b1
Why do you read this like it doesn't even matter just read my message its probably more important
