Re: Catalyst kit observations

@jaygates879 Passive will be good for high level play if placement means more than kills. Or for running away and trying to heal behind a door. But I found 1 nade destroys the door so it's not as good as advertised.

The tactical is poor due to being a long thin rectangle instead of a roundish blob. And it doesn't seem to do much. People were just running through it.

The ult seems very underwhelming. It isn't high enough to stop a lot of legends. And it doesn't block seer which I thought was the point.

Current state her pickrate will be bottom of the barrel by mid season.

    @hayhor Really sad that there's little to no slowing effect on tactical. Tick damage is 15 "if there was decent slow, I don't think it would need to be that high", downed 2 people over several matches cause they weren't expecting it.

    Her kit needs some seriousnwork to be viable, IMO.

    Passive should hold up to more than 1 grenade.

    Tactical doesn't seem to slow enemies enough and should be wider or larger (round instead of rectangukar?)  It can be slide jumped over fairly easily and  is far too easy to get over.

    Ultimate doesn't block Seer's scan and I thought that was the point, too.  If you throw it and a Seer throws their ultimate right next to it, you actually have put your own team at a disadvantage where they can see you but you can't see them.  Personally I think it needs to stop enemy bullets, grenades, and abilities like Mei's ice wall in OW2.  You might need to limit the length of it if you did that because as it is now it can be huge.

    if there was a lower than F tier, she would be there.
