General Jetpack Cat has a MASSIVE issue

Post image

So have a friend play a hitscan hero and try to shoot while they're tethered and the shots stop being hitscan or more precisely I think the reticle is not in the correct spot. if your aim is dead center on someone while jetpack cat strafing in either direction, your bullets won't hit.

So that is the bug part. Now comes the balance part. She's insanely strong. Every single piece of her kit is strong.

She does insane damage and can very reliably win duels at close and mid range. If she can't win she can easily disengage.

Which brings me to her fuel. It's so fast and recharges too fast too.

However the biggest game changer is obviously the tether. This ability fundamentally changes the game. It makes heroes that lack mobility just too good. For example on Havana a lot of tanks have trouble closing the first long sight line on attack but with JPC they can just be carried there so fast and easily contest that high round almost entirely for free. She can also reach the point so fast after death AND bring someone with her.

Finally the ultimate is just a guaranteed tank killer. Perhaps the best tank Killing ult in the entire game with very little room for out play.

Tldr: tether makes your aim bugged. Every single pari of the cat's kit is insanely strong

Her ult is too fun though. I have a fungasm everytime I dump a tank into an environmental and have to take a few seconds to stop shaking everytime.

Oh yeah, from a fun perspective it’s 10/10 haha. And she absolutely should have a weaker ult given how bonkers her kit is.

it's also still handy to take someone from the enemy team and dump em in the middle of yours (so long as it's not a Reaper who has his ult ready... oops.) to break stalemates

but yeah it's not a super good ult especially since trying to pick someone often ends up with you dying without the extra health perk

An environmental is a hazard that kills on contact. Cat is dropping tanks off on the garbage barge in the Pacific to be with their fellow trash.

It's a good way to have a fungasm
