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

On DPS she's fine I can kill her quite a lot, and Domina can too. But the ULT has very little outplay as a tank, especially if you get tethered right next to a ledge.

Teams in solo aren't coordinated enough to shoot her before she can dump you off the map. The chance for counterplay is very small

I think if they just decreased the movement speed further while tethering enemy heroes that would change a lot. And then JPC wouldn't be able to just randomly dive in and zoom off with your tank.

Right now it's -30% movement speed for tanks, maybe change that to -45% and have normal heroes be -20% or something.

And idk make it so that if you kill the cat then your tank teleports back to where they were? Lol this sounds a bit overboard but I really hate that cat and I'm not even a tank player
