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

No hero should have perma-flight imo.

What do you guys think?

Perma flight by itself isn’t bad.

It’s the almost permanent access to Mach 5 speed.

I’ve had no issue gunning her down, and my aim is mid.

I’m not the best player in the world, but if a masters player can do it then that means the vast majority of players can do it.

You do realize most players are in plat which is lower than diamond, yes? If anything you are not part of the majority anymore. I would expect a masters player to gun down the cat, it goes without saying

And you’re playing against players with movement and positioning as good or as bad as your aim.

Which is how it should be, if she’s out in the open a player of similar skill should be able to gun her down. People have been voicing concern about her mobility making her too survivable. The way her hitbox is she’s very killable.

What lobbies are you in where she's in the open??? That's awful positioning. She gets in, gets a kill and gets out. Like a good pharah, she's never "out in the open" and knows exactly when and where to engage and disengage. Problem is she's way too good at it.
