Cassidy's range nerf is so troll

General Discussion
1

In Season 3 Cassidy had 25-45m
Then they nerfed it to 25-35m which felt awful
Now it’s 20-30m making the hero feel like complete garbage to play. The lowest his range has ever been.

You have Mauga with 30-40m range, and Queen with almost as much range as Cassidy now after the nerfs. They’re literally telling you to play the raidboss broken tanks with triple his hp, better ult, better abilities.

It’s crazy that Tracer didn’t take a nerf before Cassidy, with broken mobility 6 damage. 175hp.

If you wanted people to play other dps besides Cassidy revert the hp/ hitbox changes. It would give Hanzo back his one shot, Ashe would then one shot Tracer so she’d be more viable, Soldier would get his burst back. How the hell did Sojourn not get a buff as well, you just leave every aim hero feeling like garbage, besides mobility heroes. How to kill an fps.

Lol no. Tracer isn’t even currently meta. Cree managed to be more busted than a hero with a 58% winrate.

Keep crying about your basic hitscan crutch. This isn’t a generic fps game where point and click is the only skill. If you want that, go play Siege. OW is not and has NEVER been the type of game you want.

A character who is super lethal up close should not be doing a lot of poke damage.

Cree was the only hero stopping Pharah, then they nerfed his range so he can’t even do that.

aim should always be rewarded in a fps, it’s the most skill not this mobility creep, broken abilities, ultimates. This game caters to trash players who would get destroyed in any other fps

His flashbang isn’t even a good ability, it doesn’t have CC. Hinder was stronger having range. The flashbang is only better against rat Tracers and Ball

Yes, I know. That’s why Pharah needs more nerfs now that Cree has been brought in line.

This is a MOBA fps hybrid. Aim is one of the least skillful things in OW, especially post S9. This game has always been about game sense more than mechanics.

This game caters to people that want to put in more brain power than point and click. Ever wonder why streamers from other fps games never get ranked high on OW? THIS IS THE HARDER GAME.

Oh Lord no, I’m in danger of actually agreeing with someone who posts joke takes for a laugh!

Oh, phew, that was close. I’m safe. :relieved:

They all quit cause this games trash with heroes like Sigma throwing a shield in your face, broken abilities, ultimate’s.

You ever wonder why this game has no big dps streamers? or a NA pro scene, it’s a joke of an fps

After getting hardstuck, yes.

Um, WHAT lmfao

Then play a different game. Everyone on here knows that OW isn’t for you. You complain about it CONSTANTLY and aren’t even able to get good at it despite playing one of the easiest heroes. As I said before, go play Siege.

5 meter just 2 foot steps in game,
20 meter range used in ow1 for the whole game, it works.

go to check distance in the training room if you don’t know.

5m is huge when your range is already trash.

If you buffed Cassidy’s range by 5m he would have felt amazing

You want more range? Then nerf cass’s damage or HP.

Last season he was the single strongest DPS in the game.

It could be a good game, if the balance team wasn’t complete garbage

Thank you, Team 4, for making a patch horrible enough to get me to agree with AKJ.

Mind you, I don’t think they should ever bump up Cree’s range over what it was but increasing the falloff simply shows they have no idea what is actually wrong with him. They keep rambling about his “Role as a close range sturdy hitscan that’s good against flankers” while missing the issue everyone is rightfully complaining about: Projectile size.

Ironically all they would need to do is bump it down to 0.05m like Soldier’s and he’d be fixed. The latest change does nothing but make a burst hitscan character feel meh at medium-long range.

Yeah, I thought that’s what they’re were going to do. Not decrease his range even more. I think it was to spite me ngl lol always asking for more range

So now Pharah is even gonna be more annoying than she already is? Yeah thank you Blizzard

Cassidy absolutely deserved the nerf and he’s lucky he didn’t get anything harsher. But Tracer is also meta and she has gone way too long without a nerf. But we all know everytime they nerf her, they end up reverting it back again after a season.

his right click is a nightmare for tanks, heck pretty much all roles easy 500+ dmg in 1 second, rein melts before he can even hit cass, now if you can do consistent 70 damage at long range, what stops him? Ive seen so many cass throughout season 9-now and it’s not been great and they were breezing through tanks and the whole game without a sweat. I understand pharah has been so op lately and even hitscans can’t fight her, but her counter op just makes it worse for everyone else since there’s another op hero in the game

No, she’s not. And I’m not the only one with that opinion.

To add to what KarQ says, Venture is also the first real Tracer counter to ever exist and people are now starting to realize that. This has resulted in fewer Tracers in pro play.

Tracer hasn’t been meta since the start of this season.
