Catalyst Ultimate is actually weak

Don't get me wrong it's a great ult, but the effects of running through enemy Catalyst Ultimate is weak. 
It's like people are only scared of it beause it's new and they haven't played against it. 
Eventually it will become like caustic gas was at one point, people will just swing through it because they know it's weak. 

It doesn't do much. 
I think it should slow enemy or have a better system for blurring the entire vision instead of blackening the top and bottom. 
Like Bangalores tactical obscures the vision better as does Caustic Gas. 
Catalyst ULTIMATE should be AS GOOD as theirs. 

Right now the real utility of the wall is just to block off enemy line of sight at certain ranges. 
And like I said it's only a matter of time before teams will just jump through the walls anyway. 
They already do that when they have a seer who ults. 

I think slowing the enemy who jumps through it for 2 seconds would be the best change to make. 
And if there already is a slowing mechanic to it then it needs to be MORE.

    @Metr🤭din I typically use the ult as a form of escape or initiation, but the ult doesn't work well enough for either of those. If the ult could also start a little behind catalayst and the distance of the ult was even further, then I'd find better use for it. Otherwise I just keep using it like a bangalore smoke to pick up teammates or block snipers. It doesn't really work well as a repellent since enemies that do walk through it don't have their vision obstructed enough.
