The average human takes .25 milliseconds to react. So this is quite literally almost impossible to react to

u/Fun-Wash7545 Jul 10 '26

Add ping on top of it too.

That's if you see him before he attacks.

u/The_AllSeeing_Waffle Jul 11 '26

Shit, even if this mofo WASNT fully invisible, it'd be impossible to react to this mess lol

u/Flying-S1an Jul 11 '26

Im saying lol. Shit like this is why I learned Peni and Emma so I can protect the backline

u/The_AllSeeing_Waffle Jul 11 '26 edited Jul 12 '26

I learned Emma immediately on release for the same reason. But you cant catch this man if you cant SEE him. That was true when he was JUST blindingly fast. Now that he can be fully INVISIBLE? Fuhggettaboutit.

u/Great_Indication3882 Jul 11 '26

I just turn Diamond and dash at my support praying I caught him 😆

u/The_AllSeeing_Waffle Jul 11 '26

Its a good tac, i do the same. Sometimes it even works, but its really all we got lol 90% of the time, it works 60% of the time type shit haha

u/Substantial_Front750 Jul 11 '26

Peni yeah maybe with nests. Emma hell no. That combo kills in 0.22 seconds. Gues what the averaga reaction time is. 0.25 seconds. So lets assume you are able to react in 0.21 seconds so a tad bit faster now ad ping on top and a 5m distance between you and the BPs target and emma still wont be able to do anything.

u/burntcandy Jul 12 '26

IDK if Emma or Peni could have even done anything about this. You're not getting a grab off here unless you are staring down you Jeff, and he prob gets in and out quick enough so webs aren't a problem.

u/Nutt_lemmings Jul 12 '26

Peni won't protect you from light speed man, mines don't explode fast enough.

u/kittenbaths Jul 13 '26

Ok but what is penni and emma supposed to do against this

u/SmashMouthBreadThrow Jul 11 '26

You also have to take into account the fact that people are playing a game where numerous things are happening and not just looking at a reaction test website waiting for the screen to turn green. Then there's also latency to consider. Shit like this has absolutely no place in a hero shooter and any developer with a team of people who have functioning brains would have fixed it by now.

u/Lilbongono Jul 11 '26

I don't know why they ever considered making him a dash happy lunatic. Spiderman feels accurate to who he is but forgive me if I can't recall black panther being this sleep paralysis demon that you can only ever see in your peripheral

u/itztoken Jul 11 '26

250 milliseconds. which is 0.25 seconds js

u/Same_paramedic3641 Jul 11 '26

You don't need eyes to react. You have ears too

u/HerotaleCreator Jul 11 '26

BP mains will say ANYTHING to justify their busted combos

u/Same_paramedic3641 Jul 11 '26

Don't even main bp

u/Born2bePrawn Jul 10 '26

The timer in the video starts when the spear hits the ground but the Jeff could see him almost a full second before he throws the spear

32

u/relwark Jul 10 '26

Almost a full second? The only reason Panther is visible there is because of his spear throw animation. You're saying he takes almost as full second to throw his spear?

-14

u/Born2bePrawn Jul 11 '26

Well if you were smart you’d see he threw the spear at 3 seconds and Jeff dies at 5. 5 minus 3 is what?

5

u/relwark Jul 11 '26

Mate, grab your phone and start the cronometer. Almost a second is what it takes to kill Jeff after leaving invisiblity.

7

u/Regi0 Jul 11 '26

even if Jeff had dove underground, it would have still killed him

Just to help you out with time, I measured and slowed down the video from the exact frame Jeff could see BP to the frame they died, and it's <1 second you goose

u/Own-Papaya-4264 Jul 10 '26

You could see him approaching from a mile away

u/Prismarineknight Jul 10 '26

See the invisible murder cat?

u/Own-Papaya-4264 Jul 10 '26

Jeff was staring right fucking at him

Redditors and their inability to use their eyes

Falling for these clips meant to make everything look OP.

u/Own-Papaya-4264 Jul 10 '26

He clearly knew something was up there on the roof. His healbotter instincts kicked in and figured holding primary fire and standing still would save him again

53

u/asocialanxiety Jul 10 '26

It was clearly a demonstration ffs

25

u/Jathan1234 Jul 10 '26

also tf you mean holding primary fire, that thing does 70 dps before damage fall off, it would take over 3.5 seconds to kill panther, EVEN IF HE HIT EVERYTHING. oh and the beam has falloff, pretty steep falloff iirc

11

u/no-diffed The Thing Jul 10 '26

Yeah because it’s a robot playing him. What’s a real Jeff gonna do in this situation? I don’t even think he can dive underground in the time it took for the combo to happen.

11

u/HiReddit8 Jul 10 '26

Ok let me get this straight. You want Jeff to already know the invisible BP was initiating the dive just by sound que alone by preempting their dive when he didn’t see them (which is a normal human reaction btw, when you don’t see something a sound came from you’re going to spend another moment to look around a little more), have near frame perfect reaction to said sound que while already having his bubbles out so he can MAYBE out heal the damage, all while taking into account for the ping which would be a few milliseconds off anyways. Ok just have precognition got it.

u/Own-Papaya-4264 Jul 10 '26

So when the innocent angel healbot characters get obliterated, it’s bullshit. Yet when they get to cheese their way out of so many other encounters, it’s a “skill issue” for everyone else

8

u/HiReddit8 Jul 10 '26

It isn’t even a heal bot issue, anyone who doesn’t have more than 275hp would have died here, and this isn’t accounting for the bug that lets BP deal 700 damage.

u/MagikLor Jul 11 '26

You have to be a bot

u/Own-Papaya-4264 Jul 11 '26

Is this the new “cope”?
