Cassidy's sticky grenade

So Iceblock it, and then win the duel :slight_smile:

Your damn right Mei does :slight_smile:

you are coping

I am a firm believer in counter-picking. Anyone who doesn’t counter pick has no business complaining about any character.

My absolute favorite idiots are the Genji or Dva players who will not swap even if the other team has zarya, mei, sym, Moira and Brig. Like seriously
 Their team is literally designed to ruin your birthday party.

Because, when McCree ults, everyone on the enemy team autotracks him

or force the Iceblock early, once thawed, use mag and win the duel! :slight_smile:

It’s not brutal, it’s balanced. All hitscans should have reduced range to around 20-25 meters so you can walk around easier without getting instantly clapped as soon you leave the cover. Doesn’t matter if it’s Widow or Ashe or S76, they all shred in their fall off ranges which are far greater than Cass.

This or buff projectile heroes hp, so hitscans in general are less meta for once. Consistency is the king and that’s why they are permanently meta. Cass is garbage because he is fair hitscan, sad but true. He doesn’t suck against heroes like Junkrat or Hanzo, he sucks against long range hitscans and dive tanks.

Literally the most least skilled hero rn. That grenade will track you even if you port away. Let alone being a support and getting grenade
 it’s guarantee kill

They just love keeping the character gimmicky

29

why are you comparing abilities that aren’t even used the same way?
thats like comparing sym to zarya and saying why would i want ramp up when i could just bubble myself for charge

Totally, if you don’t manage to bait the mag, you are likely to take it to the face.

And this play/counterplay is what keeps the game interesting.

I know right? It is why I love Mei vs Mei combats. There is a lot going on there.

I’d like it more if it was more versatile and skill based than just “nuke a squishy for 131 damage, be totally useless against tanks”.

Like just off the top of my head: make it take 1-2 more seconds to go off, it does 70ish damage, but it also does a hack style interrupt effect and a 50% slow for .75-1 second when it goes off and Cassidy can detonate it early by shooting it. Make the physical grenade (but not the detonation effects) immune to Suzu/recall/bubble, but vulnerable to hack.

It would let Cass use mind games to basically soft “zone” a tank out of using their active defenses for 4-5 seconds, and work against mobile squishies (while being significantly less feast or famine) by letting him either detonate it instantly with Fan, or leaving it up and making Tracer/Moira/Whatever have to actually time their immune to deal with it (forcing them into a fight for that 4-5 seconds) because it’s not auto-cleansed, while not insta-jibbing anyone without an immunity available.

he could protect backline better if he had old flash back.

35

Still better than flashbang

36

My favorite part is how it tells you, “STUCK”. For most squishies it’s like, “Why are you telling me this? So I have time to write my will before I die?”

Idk why they didn’t just allow stun to stop a hero from doing a specific action rather than stopping you in your tracks for a second to be deleted with right click, kinda like sombra hack but without the hack part.

Sticky>fth>roll>fth isn’t enough damage for you?

helps to know to use an evasive move (recall, wraith) if a Cass flanks you while you’re dueling another hero and may be surprised by the mag
? :thinking:

Like I said, for most squishies.
