Nobody plays him because every other dps is not only easier to get value out of but also better. He is the worst hitscan, with an unreasonable fat hitbox, bad range, mediocre fire rate, no mobility, joke of an ult and the only reason he was remotely viable was the flash that made him decent against anti dives and stopping cocky genjis from farming supports for free and with that ability replaced with a crappy pulse bomb that can be escaped by anyone now he is meme tier and free ult charge himself and FTH is also useless.
Give him back his old fire rate, reload speed, fall off and maybe increase roll distance so he can compete with Sojourn, Ashe and Soldier (seriously his mobility and damage is a joke compared to theirs)
Yall just ignoring the slew of buffs (again) that he got when the beta launched?
He has a homing junk mine that heat-signature tracks people up to 13m of distance
His fan the hammer got buffed fire rate
He got 40% damage reduction while ulting
His ult also got buffed to ramp up more damage after 2 sec, and it also got increased total duration by a second
Why should he be able to compete so much?
He’s had such a long time to shine, give the spotlight to others.
He was literally a super universal hero, outshining so many other heroes.
We cannot reach neutral balancing, there´ll always be a meta, though at least give other heroes something to work with for a while, cause this is just boring.
Bruh what…he’s like a top tier DPS after Soldier’s nerfs…
Arguably the most consistent damage output hitscan now, his grenade is great at assassinating squishies on flanks or fending off flankers like Genji (who is also really good right now)…
His fan the hammer fire rate buff makes him more threatening to tanks since flash is gone…
He has midair roll and 222 HP still…
His ult got buffed…
He’s the DPS I go 80% of my games lol and I hard carry on him, just bc his pick potential + damage output is so consistently good
I mean you can believe what you want, the Devs have the stats + pro opinions so I don’t think he will be getting any buffs anytime soon, never mind all this:
I love how every DPS is apparently worse than the others and therefore needs buffs.
This thread is about how Sojourn is better than Cassidy, but there is also a thread going on about how weak Sojourn is.
having an insta gib ability is very valuable in 5v5 with less shields though
Junk has 2 mines with a lot of CC and rip tire to crutch on + insane pick potentiak via grenade lobbing in chokes, watch yourOverwatch video guide on him, he explains how he is severly underrated
thats not how it works anymore. they want every character to be viable, they dont want hard metas anymore like we are used to in ow1 when they overbuffing genji or sigma.
The damage lost on the ult for the “ssurvivability” is just not worth it, now you never kill anyone with high noon.
The new grenade it’s okay i guess, but now u are basically dead when getting flanked by tracer or genji. (Imagine if ana get her sleep dart removed, its basically the same with cass, he need that stun)
The damage fall off at this point it’s just a sad joke, you need like 4 or 5 body shots to kill a support from mid-large range.
And fan the hammer who cares i guess it’s for the memes and style.
