cassidy possible nerf by dev stream

i watch on stream that they plan to nerf cassidy magnetic grenade

i think nerfing it alone just make it worse, they will have no excuse to nerf his primary fire because now all his kit are bad

a hero that only have best gun but bad kit is not good designed

i think its time to soft rework him:

give him 250 HP
reduce fall off from 25 meter to 18 meter
magnetic grenade removed
new ability: electric lasso, deal 50 damage, reduce movement speed by 50% for 1 sec

so made him close range hitscan brawler

Um technically all the other guns are superior to Cassidy.

Alternatively i would make him a projectile hero like wingman.

But veryfast projectile so it doesn’t haveuch of a lead in midrange.

4

he have best gun for close and mid range heroes

Sorry not sorry- Magnetic nade is a stupid ability.

tracer and reaper guns are definitely batter at close ranges.

Isnt ashe hanzo sojourn better.

You want to knkw whyccassady is so dtrong and litteraly a 30 damage nerf would fix it . His nade does to much damage along side his gun you should not be able to body shot ability anyone (200hp hero) and they just die. What they need to do is make the combo reqire a skill shot so land a head shot then nade

Just play Mei or Hanzo.
Cassidy always was a hitscan hero. If they make him projectile, it’ll be miserable for most people maining him.

Depends how good you are. If you have perfect flicks, Cass is better.

If you have potato aim, Reaper is better.

Tracer needs excellent tracking.

Maybe I’m mis understanding them, and gladly welcome them to correct me if I’m misrepresenting their point- but

I don’t think they meant to necessarily imply mccrees gun was the best for close range, AND the best for medium range

But it was the best at doing both “simultaneously”.

As in the best to multi task in these 2 ranges.

Hot take: Nerfing nade won’t balance him and he’ll remain hard meta.

12

It’s better the skill floor is higher than land 1/6 bullets on the body + press e in their general direction

13

Took them long enough

Why do people forget that he’s supposed to be anti mobility?

Because Blizz has gaslighted the entire playerbase into thinking that the only way for a hero to be anti mobility is insane CC and burst like his OW1 version.

Nerfing or removing nade is a good thing because it does almost nothing against the heroes it’s supposed to counter, like Tracer and Sombra. Give him an ability that completely disables movement abilities instead.

Watch him get nerfed the same way Sojourn got “nerfed”

18

That has always been the solution to the Cowboy E ability issue but Blizz always had a vested interest on making sure flankers and mobility remain king.

19

What do you reckon will do it? Was his rise to prominence entirely due to the falloff buff or was he flying under the radar and will need more nerfs than that?

laughs in being able to one shot tracer with mei, And one shoting squishies with reaper.
