many times i want to use the block just for the block and not the flurry, but after using block i get stuck in the flurry state and forced to w8 it out

currently flurry overrides normal punch giving u less control over whether u want to cycle to next block quicker or commit with flurry

so wat if fist could use normal punch during flurry state using quick melee button or just let him exit flurry state early?

might need to reduce cd reduction per hit or increase block cd to compensate, but would it be too strong?

a problem which is not discussed enough is the bad map designs in this game

too many maps r very linear, lack enough cover or side pathings n force u walk or stand in open areas if u wanna make any proper pushes, its one of the reasons y poke comps can often feel oppressive

the map destruction system is also partly to blame, since it ends up reducing a lot of existing cover in the maps and makes u even more vulnerable to getting shot down

its also prolly one the reasons y the gameplay relies so much on high sustain to keep things alive over map usage

ever since they removed AC, its feels so awkward that his quick melee spam does more dmg than his shield throws, due to which i end up feeling punished for using his shield throws over his quick melee outside of while jumping

considering shield throws need to be earned first with 2 melee and r limited by 4 charges on a 5s timer, i think they should feel more rewarding to use and if they won't bring back AC, then some something else should be done

i was thinking the shield throw dmg could be increased from 45 to 50 with a slightly faster fire rate than wat it currently has, or they could add the ricochet mechanic it had during the beta

but would that make cap too strong?

i remember s1 JPC was a terror with the early claws out, territorial perk and bigger fuel amount, but i dont remember players complaining or hating on her as much as they r in the current season, which i find weird

like i know she got major buffs at start of s4, but i still think s1 JPC was far stronger

am i missing something here?

currently there r 4 types of shields in the game:

1. portable ones like cap
2. deployable ones like invis
3. bubble shaped ones like mag
4. bonus hp, which is basically a shield for ur hp bar

unlike heals which can be spammed through a primary fire and reloading, all shields r always limited to cooldowns or resource meters which prevents them from being spammed

this is something i hv noticed in other hero shooters like overwatch n paladins as well

which makes me wonder if a shield based support that could spam shields on allies through a primary fire n reload system instead of healing and gained ult charge from shielding similar to hulk would be broken

or another intelligent animal from the place winston and hammond came from?

i heard there were moments in the comic where she gave sus vibes

doomfist also mentions in his latest lore video that he still has one missing piece left for his upcoming plan, wat if its JPC? considering his current group only has tank and dps, but no support characters

i remember many saying that cap felt really good this season with the regen hp and the bucky teamup and that this was one of cap's better seasons

but that opinion seems to hv changed by a lot and almost everyone is asking cap to be buffed now, even in the main sub

even i agree cap needs buffs, but im just curious wat led to so many players changing their view on cap now?

after playing blade in bloodhunt, it feels like blade's kit was designed more for bloodhunt rather than pvp

• the lifesteal feels much more impactful against hordes of enemies, unlike pvp where it feels negilgible since its harder to hit multiple enemies in melee range
• bloodline being usable with shotgun makes bloodline feel more like a complete ability
• the ult also feels much better to use since the bloodhunt maps hv a lot of linear spaces to get good value and ai enemies r usually dumb enough to stay inside it, unlike pvp where players can just walk out of it

idk man, i think blade needs a rework thats makes him more pvp oriented, cuz currently he feels more like a pve hero

most suggestions hv been about putting tether on a timer, but i was thinking how about preventing allies from shooting or using ultimates while tethered

this will prevent stuff like cat-bastion combos and some frustrating ult combos like sky noon, but still maintain the spawn taxi and repositioning aspect of it

is the hate this season really deserved?

i want to know from other jpc players, considering there has always been a hate for jpc in the community similar to heroes like sombra, roadhog, doomfist etc anytime they get buffed or see relevent play

she used to feel kinda sluggish after her previous mobility nerfs and now finally feels fluid to play only for the community to get mad again n demanding nerfs

i did agree that cat needed nerfs back when she had early claw and territorial perks which turned her into a dive assassin that could even 1v1 most dps heroes, even i felt guilty n thought i shouldn't be able to get away with those sort of plays

but this time the buffs were purely to her mobility, not to her dmg, she can't reliably 1v1 dps heroes or quickly assassinate the backline like she could b4, unless they r already low hp or r being negligent at checking for flanks

she still has to play backline support most of the time, with tether being her only proper utility which is kinda situational, while also having one of the most map dependent ultimates in the game which most players hv already learned to play around by now

it has been suggested here many times, but i think the devs should really try making the jetpack louder b4 nerfing her mobility too much, as i do agree that a permaflying flanker can be hard to deal with depending on maps

will cat players never get to enjoy the game without making others angry?

edit: i forgot about the weapon dmg buff jpc received last season due to previous nerfs, and that should prolly be reverted now that her mobility is back, but idk if that would be enough
