I reaper ulted on a Cree and Hanzo…killed the hanzo but the McCree got hit a little bit by my ult, rolled and was able to live…
A lot of people don’t seem to know this but he gets damage reduction when rolling. He can even survive Tracer’s Pulse Bomb when he rolls

Roll has dmg reduction and cassidy has more hp?

His extra HP buff along with taking 50% less damage during roll (and 40% less during ult)
yeah he’s gotten too much undeserved survivability
Would maybe be fine if they counternerfed something else, but he got buffs to everything else too.
Buff to duration and damage on ult, buff to mcfan damage, ability to now roll midair, new autoaim grenade

I honestly did not know that
But he sucks right now? I mean, I am not sure bulking him up is the way to go, but he lost flashbang. I do not really feel these tradeoffs are worth that.

And in spite of all those Buffs he’s still just a crappier Ashe

He always has been, and frankly always should be compared to the fact that she has a kit and he has BS piled on more BS. I don’t understand why this hero is in the game if they’re gonna do him like that.
I forgot about this too lol. I hear about it but don’t think about it.
Yeah it’s pretty easy to forget. I also forget about it in the middle of a match, it’s kind of just something that’s there

I wouldn’t call it undeserved considering he’s mediocre at best.
Well, he is using a handgun.
His hitbox and lack of poke alone makes him worse than every other hitscan DPS except Sombra. His Magnetic grenade is no better as a close-range anti flanker tool than Ashe dynamite, and roll is worse for creating space against brawlers than coach gun. Without flash bang Cassidy is literally just bargain bin Ashe. Worse range, worse mobility, less flexible gun, no AOE, no vertical movement, comically worse ultimate, and far more gigantic hitbox.
About the only niche he has left is as a strong backline threat to a problem Doomfist. Other than that he’s just passable at everything with no key strengths.

Really??? He has damage reduction during roll?
Yes he gets damage resistance when he rolls
I confirm. He survive Tracer bomb when rolling. However I only seen it in arcade mode. So far have not seen in ranked. So not 100% sure if it is a arcade only ability.
He can survive it in ranked, too. Not often a tracer would drop a bomb on him, but…
Pulse Bomb does 350 damage at most, and his combat roll gives him 50% damage reduction, so Pulse Bomb would only do 175 damage to him if he rolls when it explodes, allowing him to survive with a comfortable 50hp left. Deadeye also has a 40% damage reduction, so Pulse Bomb would do 210 damage to him, meaning he can survive it in Deadeye, too, though only with 15hp left.
