Overwatch's Jetpack Cat - the new hero that, as you might have guessed, is a cat in a jetpack - is already being subjected to nerfs next week and in a mid-season update because Blizzard Entertainment's slightly worried about the flying feline's flanking capabilities.

Overwatch associate game director Alec Dawson spilled the beans in a lengthy interview with streamer Deemzies. "So perks come more at the end of a hero's lifespan in terms of when we're developing them," Dawson says. "I think the thing we want to do with Jetpack Cat in particular is actually take a look at her perks because the perks that people are picking the most and are actually the most proficient are going to be the two aggressive ones."
