JPC is definitely one of the most fun heroes to play alongside - thank you for releasing this hero. Just a shame she constantly gets banned.

I’ve noticed I’m getting a lot of backfill as tank into cat games. I’ve left some games because of cat using every ult to put me, as tank, off the map in QP, and going by the number of backfills since cat came out, a lot of others are leaving too.

Not really surprising when you give a hero an ult which is a sure kill on the tank so they use it on the tank every time. Pretty stupid really.

Please remove or reduce the griefing that JPC can do

JPC feels better to play against with the recent changes.

What griefing can they do regularly to their teammates without some sort of consent? If you accept the tether offer and they dump you off a cliff then just never accept it again from that same player. I can’t say i’ve even come across someone doing that other than at launch day.

Cat is great. I like when flexibility is required to realy do well with a hero, especially a support. So many people just want to healbot from safety, but I think we need more of the opposite of that. Active supports who are all up in a fight and really participating are the way to go, and Cat does a great job in that respect.

They can’t. People just wanna whine about it. They literally prepared for the “griefing”.

JPC is the better version of Yuumi.

JPC has two forms of griefing available to her. Hopefully both are removed

PLEAAAAAAAASE, I love two player heroes! Cho Gall is so much fun!!! I’d really like it if Overwatch did one.

There was a reason Kaplan scrapped this heroes idea, but Aaron Keller decided to add it to his Overwatch 3 fan fic non the less.

You didn’t expand on what either one of those forms of repeatable griefing were that bypass a player’s consent.

I was hoping the article would go into how Comp has more or less completely rejected her existence, and what they’re gonna do about it.

Don’t even bother. They are just mad that the cat can kill your team by dragging an enemy player with their ult to use the enemy mcree or whatever on you. Ridiculous.
