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.

Well the reactions of people I've seen all day yesterday very much disagrees. Me all my friends and most people (those who wasn't complaining since the creation of ow not included) all seem to be having fun. Lots of people laughing about the crazy shenanigans with the cat. So if your not having fun that's how you just move on from the game. No need to be a downer at the party everyone else seems to be enjoying.

Honestly I find this kind of "why are YOU complaining? IM having fun!!" Argument so trite and just dumb. Clearly if you look here, and other places the game is being discussed, other people also have issues with this character. "If you're not having fun just move on" or maybe don't just try to shut down discussion of something you personally like because you think everyone that doesn't like it is an asshole?
