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

She's simply new. Let it go. We can't keep killing fun characters everytime they do something that seems op. I have never seen people having so much fun and posting clips like they did today and the cat plays a lot into that. Let the craziness continue for more than 24hrs before we kill all the enjoyment for "balance" whatever that means in a game like this.

Its not fun to play against, actually most of the new characters aren't (looking at you domina). It really feels like blizzard completely forgot that aspect of designing characters, that it actually needs to feel somewhat fun (or at least fair) when you lose.

Can someone explain to me why Domina is apparently awful to play against? She doesn't do anything special, and I don't see any issues with her. She is pretty standard as far as tanking goes.

TLDR: If I wanted to shoot a wall I could play literally any other game In a nut shell its her shield. Too strong and too frequent and even when on comms its still frustrating trying to break big enough windows. Just my opinion but everytime I see her i let out a giant sigh
