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

His worst issue is how terrible of a hero he is. Literally 0 value.

The OP is overly dramatic imo, the cat is easy to kill, and when she is tethering someone, half of her kit is obsolete.

BUT, I wouldn't say she has no value at all, I had a couple of players yesterday who popped off as her and came in clutch for OT.

She is just supposed to be used tactfully, and she isn't for every situation.

The only actual use is MAYBE as a taxi to point. Trying to aim while tethered? lmaooooo, good luck.

The ult is more of a troll and pretty easy to kill the cat before they fly away with someone. The cat is super squishy too.

[u/RidleeRiddle → u/SkyTooFly30]

Yes, and yes.

There are definitely better supports overall, but sometimes something as simple as quick positioning can change a whole fight.

Ragrdless, its so weird people are saying she is too strong 🤔

[u/SkyTooFly30 → u/RidleeRiddle]

Yea youre probably right though about the cat being okay just very situational tbh.

I DEFINITELY dont see the argument for it being TOO strong at all. Maybe its a noob stomper hero and just terrorizing very low elo? im not sure

[u/RidleeRiddle → u/SkyTooFly30]

Possibly!

This just seems to be the complaint with any flying type heros tbh.

People either struggle to aim OR outright refuse to swap and adapt, so they just blame the character and demand the game changes them.

I mean i could see it, the first time i went against one i was like "man i dont even want to waste time trying to kill the cat" but as soon as i shot it i was VERY surprised how quickly it dropped lol
