Octane jump pad mechanic

I got a really good suggestion for octane's jump pad. Since octane's jump pad is, for me, one of the worst ultimates in the game, i think this mechanic will give it a slight buff. 

I suggest that there should be a mechanic in the jump pad that shoots you in a different direction other than the direction you're facing or running towards. Maybe after deploying a jump pad, you (octane) can hold the "z" button or the ultimate button on the jump pad (just like looting a death box) and select which direction you would want to be launched at (selection of the direction should be like how you choose a grenade or a health kit). And since octane's jump pad has three sides, there should be only three directions. There should also be an option to turn it on or off (for very clutch situations). Everyone should also be able to see a glow or an arrow indicating which direction it was set to launch someone. 

This mechanic will certainly give octane a buff. This will be good for very clutch plays, and very smart grenade tactics. I know this is against the physics of the game but I hope respawn really gives this one a consideration.
