What is the purpose of jumping?

I can jump! Hop! Hop! Why am I jumping? Am I dodging anything? What is the purpose of arguing with gravity in this game? (No, seriously, why can I jump and what purpose does it serve if any?)

Do different hunters have different projectile speeds?

This question is more of a confirmation of my "feelings". Do Hunter's projectiles travel at different speeds? For example, Anhur's thrown javelin looks and 'feels' slower than Ah Muzen Cab's ... whatever he shoots. Is it simply a trick of the eye…
