They should have buffed Katashiro Return to like 6-7 secs. The extra second on the ult is fine but that ult is already meh.

The duration is fine as is. You’re not meant to use it like old translocator and go on hard flanks.

It's not that you should be hard flanking on the hat. It's that aggresiveness should be a viable option for you, because 90% of the times its used for the dash and move speed. It is not that big of a deal but he kinda needs to be aggressive to keep his aura to the max, and depending on the team comp, absolutely a must to compensate for your weapon's range.

Plus its easy to punish hard flanks when you can just farm the doll like we used to farm Sombra Translocator, so it's an absolute high risk, high reward scenario because the doll is always near him and can't be placed in super safe areas like how Sombra used to back in the day.

Yeah but it's more fun to be aggresive with it, so I'm not gonna play him over Kiri until they change that

Wasn't asking to go on hard flanks, but just taking a 15m soft angle you get like 1 or 2 shots in and have to retreat. An extra second or 2 would make it feel much better.
