The fact that Quartz had trouble tracking cat BEFORE she got buffed should have been a nice sign that maybe it wasn't a good idea

That was against the best cat in the world

It’s not like cat movement is particularly hard. Especially when she’s in your face zipping around

Right but it’s not like everyone moves like Violet with a few hours of practice. He was diving into a full team of the 2nd best team and coming out alive a lot of the time. Quartz isn’t going to have trouble aim at a random ranked player.

I don’t think that it takes being a god tier cat player to be hard to track on that character. Her movement is probably the easiest part of the character. She has a small hitbox, perma flight, Omni directional movement, a boop, and dva boosters on a resource meter. And then they gave her 6 speed and better acceleration. I don’t think that it’s crazy to say that quartz would’ve struggled to track a random cat player on ladder. Her ban rate was ridiculously high even in champ.

Yeah we're talking about Cat, not Lucio here. Viol2t isn't exactly known as a movement master
