She's now one of the strongest picks in every rank, and her ban rate is skyrocketing. I play in masters. Before, you could definitely nearly one trick Fika without needing to be forced to choose someone else. That's not the case anymore due to bans.

Hot take, but I personally feel like the movement buffs overall were an incorrect step. It feels amazing, yeah. And going back is going to feel clunky. But now low elos can't hit cat because their aim is bad, and high elos can't hit cat because high elo Fikas know how to play her movement to its fullest.

She's a menace on the field right now, and I would personally say to revert her movement changes fully. But what do you guys feel? How would you reign in our feline friend?

Every time I play or see posts about Jetpack Cat, people have this mindset of, "Just go hitscan, and you win. That's literally it." It's not hard to play corners and be smart with positioning. Plus, the vast majority of people don't have high level aim.

Even in Masters, people struggle to kill me. Why? Because when they swap to Soldier or Cass or any other hitscan, they for some reason expect me to continue to play mindlessly in the open. But no, I play smarter. I don't leave myself in the open air, and I become more conservative with my boost. So when I do find myself in uncomfortable spots I can use it to take advantage of the fact that I can move in 3 axis to bob and weave their mediocre tracking.

It's such an eye roller when I see mass upvoted comments saying to go hitscan like it's the be-all and end-all or getting these players who insta swap and try to hard focus me, only to watch them struggle. And it's especially satisfying seeing them hyper fixate on me only for them to end up back in spawn again and again from me or shutting down their plays.

For me, I only have two main reasons.

The largest one is the ability to actually have interactive and better messaging experiences with others including family. In the US, we don't do WhatsApp or any third party messaging for the most part. I have an Android phone, the S24U. And all my family's devices are iPhone, and every one of my friends are also iPhone except one person... One. It was such a miraculous experience when iPhone finally adopted UP 2.4 and seeing my mom send a video she took while on vacation and seeing the image sharp and high quality.

The second one is kind of a little petty. I personally feel as if iMessage is mostly responsible for the over proliferation of iPhones, especially in my age group, where adoption rate is 70%-80%. Teens is 90%. Hearing of the blue bubble vs green bubble stories has me flabbergasted that people are like this and Apple knows this and openly exploits it, with actual data showing that a quarter of people lose out on potential dating relationships the moment the iPhone user sees the other person with a green bubble and friends get ostracized from group chats. Thankfully, my family members, my age, have said they really couldn't care less about any of that.

So, I've been hoping that when these features are adopted, I can actually get to experience better stock messaging with others especially my family, and all this external social crap goes away as the messaging experiences cross platform becomes equal, or at least better. Then I can also see more people over time with Androids that I relate and talk with about and hear less about this blue green bubble crap. Business RCS messaging also seems cool, but that's a non factor for me.
