Overwatch season cuts Jetpack Cat combo

Overwatch’s new season is out now, and it brings a long list of balance changes across the roster. The biggest story for many players is a nerf to one popular combo: Cassidy can no longer use High Noon while tethered to Jetpack Cat’s Lifeline.

Blizzard said that interaction was too strong because it let Cassidy move into a better spot and wipe out targets too easily. The rest of the patch also includes major changes for Roadhog and Sombra, along with tweaks for a number of other heroes.

Roadhog got a rework built around a new ability called Trash Compactor, which absorbs projectiles and fires them back. Sombra has been moved from Damage to Support, lost Hack and Virus, and now uses new abilities like Hotfix and Cyberspace.

The patch also adjusts heroes like Doctrine, Genji, Bastion, and many others through damage, cooldown, and hitbox changes. Blizzard also made broad hit volume updates across the roster to make aiming more consistent overall.
