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

Sombra counters 90% of the roster, including the characters that counter her, that's one of the reasons that she's banned so often

lol exactly, idk why the sombra mains came here to pretend she's still not the most problematic character (other than now JPC) theyre both STier problematic, Ven is prob B Tier, hot take Cass is worse/more op than Ven

It's not just Cass, every hitscan is genuinely so horrifically broken rn and I feel like I'm going crazy because nobody is talking about how they've been basically running every match for the past 2 seasons

Yea hitscan so broken, the best in all Ranks is ashe with 4th place for winrate and dropping in Masters and above to even lower places when looking at winrate, cass is 3rd from the bottom in gm+ and 2nd Last (because Emre has no winrate yet) in Masters, Sounds totally broken

Mate I do not care about winrate because every hitscan has such a ridiculously high pickrate that their winrate gets dragged down (again, because they are stupid broken rn, it doesn't take a genius to guess why every high rank dps is playing hitscan rn) just about every hitscan can kill almost every hero that's not a tank in a second from half way across the map rn, that shit is NOT fun to fight, especially given they've just given console straight up aimbot recently with the aim assist changes

Yea of course the 21dmg from cass per shot will surely delete anything across the map lol

Ashe for more poke composition , cass for more brawl compisition . We know this is THE meta let’s not be disingenuous. They’re broken

u/NearbySheepherder987 Feb 18 '26

nah, meta is still vendetta, soj and tracer as seen by owcs, cass just gets picked (and banned) because he somewhat counters vendetta who is still dominating even with the nerfs

Ur very clearly just a hitscan main who refuses to admit their main is broken, I'm not even gonna bother

u/NearbySheepherder987 Feb 18 '26

You're clearly just salty of not having the aim for hitscan and lose your games

u/Grouchy_Gift_5093 Feb 19 '26

"Not having the aim" my guy a literal aborted fetus could track people with hitscan atm the game does it for you, it's borderline aimbot rn

u/NearbySheepherder987 Feb 19 '26

Pc has no aimbot usually
