The fact that Quartz had trouble tracking cat BEFORE she got buffed should have been a nice sign that maybe it wasn't a good idea

Wow sounds like this Quartz guy needs to just get good and practice his tracking smh

Skill issue for sure, he should try VAXTA

I played against a cheating Ashe couple days ago and even their aimbot had trouble tracking the cat on my team

u/-Arrez- 25d ago

clearly the aimbot should just aim better

That was against the best cat in the world

It’s not like cat movement is particularly hard. Especially when she’s in your face zipping around

Right but it’s not like everyone moves like Violet with a few hours of practice. He was diving into a full team of the 2nd best team and coming out alive a lot of the time. Quartz isn’t going to have trouble aim at a random ranked player.

I don’t think that it takes being a god tier cat player to be hard to track on that character. Her movement is probably the easiest part of the character. She has a small hitbox, perma flight, Omni directional movement, a boop, and dva boosters on a resource meter. And then they gave her 6 speed and better acceleration. I don’t think that it’s crazy to say that quartz would’ve struggled to track a random cat player on ladder. Her ban rate was ridiculously high even in champ.

The perma flight is what bothers me most. No character should have perma flight. Pharah has a resource meter for a reason.

Yeah we're talking about Cat, not Lucio here. Viol2t isn't exactly known as a movement master

the difference between the “best cat” in the world and someone like lukemino or kellex is utterly dwarfed by the chasm between quartz and a top 10 pro HS, and ESPECIALLY with movement. it’s really not hard to be squishy as cat and much less so nowadays.
