a few ideas on how to balance jett:

make sheriff cost 850
make marshall cost more/ make 99 dmg on a body hit/ shoot less fast
make the dash only able towards the direction she is looking
make the ulti be gone even when revived by sage (like every other ulti in the game except for chambers)
make the ulti have a certain time expiring when not getting a kill (like every other ulti in the game except for chambers)
make the ulti body hit 49 dmg

they said they tested that, and it only made it harder for low elo, high elo players were just able to adjust to it so it made jett harder to play without making her weaker

But isn't that the whole point? No matter how much someone adjust its still going to be worse than current dash. While in low elo it shouldn't even make as big of a difference considering that people's aims are worse so Jetts have more time. Jett has to be weaker than what she is right now.

The problem is Jett in low elo isn't really a problem.

People below silver are not one tapping 3 people with the knives in 1 second. Heck jett's ultimate seems underpowered in low elo. To compensate for that they really need the dash.

The only reason jett needs nerfs is because she is the most picked in pro play. The only reason why she is picked in low elo ranked is that she is fun/waifu. She does not need any more nerfs in low elo.

But if people keep still picking Jett because she is fun to play then small nerf wouldn't matter. In low elo it wouldn't make big difference anyway.

thats another problem, at this point Jett is so central to the way the game worls that shell be picked in ranked even if shes nerfed into the ground. If that hapened, pros might drop her, but everyone else, in all ranks, will still play her

Harder to use ≠ Weaker, especially because its only harder to use for some people. Making the dash forward only would be a nerf, but I dont think it would actually decrease the power jett has. She's still be able to do everything she already does, and thats the problem

Tbh I don't think this really hurts jett for any player with a somewhat high sense, imo this just makes the ability clunky, weird to look at, and barely nerfs her for any high elo/pro player.

You know there is currently only one dash and it can only be renewed by killing right?
Ok never mind I misread your comment, my bad

All these ideas are L. Only way to nerf jett is to give her a free smoke and make the dash a purchasable ability

150/200 to heavily nerf her, 100 to just make her a less viable pick

Or myabe just 300 to destroy her for everyone's good

considering some very strong abilities like omen flash or sova drone cost 400 i would say 200 is a little too cheap

But jett's dash is an ability that in most cases you should be able to buy, so just make it so that sometimes it will require you not get other abilities to buy it, but still not be too expensive since you're just killing your number 1 agent both in playerbase and marketing

Good idea, but only reasonable the expiring ult.
If not i would say that when she gets a kill gets restored 3 knives only

No

The dash idea is nice

But should change the agent specifically, not the whole game around her

Maybe make her dash like Neon's. She can only dash if there is enough momentum, not instantly.
