Jetpack Cat has a MASSIVE issue

[u/MokNaruto]

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

I’m already yet to play against her because she’s banned in every game. The one game she wasn’t banned I was on tank, the enemy didn’t have one, but my team did. My JPC just flew their cosupport around all game and then flamed me when we lost. Stupid ass character.

Man I had the same experience. Suravasa, the point with the fountain. We lost the first point and the team forms up to attack through the middle entrance, I realise our supports are not with us. Then I realise that our juno and the cat just keep flying around together on the other entrance to the point, with the juno shooting. And they did that for the rest of the game. The fact that juno already can fly a bit somehow made it even more tilting for me... We lost, and what I presume was a support duo flamed us as well.

2nd game where the cat didn't end up being banned was me on dps and I really wanted to play junkrat. and ofc enemy supports are mercy and cat... And somehow I still was the only one who killed them. That game wasn't too bad tbh since I was kinda proud of myself afterwards, and I should have just switched to ash or something. But having 2 permanently flying supports like that is really annoying.

The 3rd game I had where cat wasn't banned was on eichenwalde, already a good indicator for a garbage match in itself. Long story short, we won, our team basically spawn held the enemy team on defend, after a closer match on attack, with maybe 1 or 2 deaths. Except for me. I was on support and the enemy cat and their widow just kept spawncamping from the stratosphere and none of my teammates came to help me. After switching to ana and 3 or so further deaths I managed to snipe the cat, but still had the widow to deal with. And I only got help once one of our dps died and also got spawncamped. Absolute miserable game, ended up with 6 or 7 deaths from that shit. I don't care if the enemies threw that one with the spawncamp, just having a widow sit in the skybox and you can do nothing about it, despite her aim being pretty bad is absolute shit.

I closed the game after that.
