Catapults are unambiguously better, because they're the same in every way except that a graphical glitch occasionally causes ballistas to misfire: not fire a shot, but the bolt they fire disappears and they suffer the waiting penalty before their next shot can be taken, as if they really did shoot.  didn't you know?

Catapults very rarely get the misfire blid is talking about as opposed to balistas, which happens more frequently

Ofc i know that ballista go animation"set" but still its the same attack speed, i would say its about ping control not about ballista vs catapult

Attack speed is the same for both yes, but catapult shoots before ballista due to shorter animation, which makes the catapult superior.
