Wait how exactly does rolling help? I can understand catching the victim sooner to accelerate upwards over a longer time period.

Catching and rolling is physically similar to landing on a curved vertical ramp and sliding down it. The motion is not altogether stopped but instead redirected. Rolling is like hitting a tiny tiny ramp so your velocity is redirected at a very high rate, but it’s still better than just instantaneously stopping

No offense but why do you think it works that way at all?
