Contrary to what some are saying I think Cassidy is a good hero. If you can aim well he’s still strong and the 5v5 change with less barriers does benefit him imo. His homing nade is good and a nice way to build a ton of dmg. But I rarely ever use fth in my games. I just never really feel the need to. There are niche situations like against a fortify orisa or trying to destroy a rein barrier. But like 90% of the time it feels like a pretty useless ability. Do you think it should be reworked in some way or completely scrapped for a new ability?

I pretty much just use it on shields and tanks because the recoil feels balanced around cass being able to stun which he cannot do

He definitely needs something alternative to FTH. With only one tank that’s typically a pretty mobile tank, FTH just isn’t useful in 5v5.
I honestly can’t think of anything to give him however
I hope it gets reworked into something like storm were you have control to shoot each bullet but as fast as you want.

That would actually be fun and make sense on Cassidy. Too bad they wasted the idea on Hanzo for whatever demented reason.

They did make it fire faster though so it does come into play every now and then if u need to burst stuff that cant get headshotted but its not like FTH wasnt out of place since the nerfs from like 6 yrs ago in the first place.
I for one think his doomb new E is even more out of place being so darn tracking for a character that is supposed to appeal to precision and just does damage, so darn uninspired, for me it should instead track way less, do half dmg and slow peeps hit by it.
good on tanks to do more damage on them faster. Fan, roll, fan again does wonders.
What do u have against Hanzo lmao i was never a fan of Storm Arrows either but i mean… dang.
I love Hanzo, I just hate that they took a unique and fun ability and turned it into spam.
The difference with Cassidy is that fan the hammer is not unique or fun. So letting you pull the trigger faster such as in Borderlands or that one legendary in Destiny would be an improvement. I like that playstyle relative to a one trigger pull ammo dump. I just doubt they will change it BECAUSE they already changed Hanzo that way.

Oh ok i also love Hanzo no 
(nothing wrong with it tho). but i mean, making FTH something like that is just making it spam as well tho isnt it?
you have to aim with hitscan, its burst with hitscan.
at worst you can call it spraying.
Sure enough, different names, same functionality.
And ey, u have to aim with projectile too btw, its just up to randomness more.
Yes. That being said, that is, for whatever reason, the direction they want to take Cassidy. They reduced his fall off damage and increased his rate of fire. He used to be decent at all ranges, but now he is an up close brawl hero. I have no clue why.
With Hanzo, I enjoyed his slower more methodical precision based playstyle. And ironically you still have to do that as storm arrows are a dps loss to the body. Better to just fish for headshots. They were a decent utility in Barrierwatch. But nowadays, Storm Arrows are kind of a relic of the past. Or a panic option against flankers, I guess.

i do main hanzo, and while there is aim with projectile, hanzo benefits a lot from spamming.
Hanzo is aim intensive in close range and mid range duels those long one shots though are spam.
Meanwhile reaper cant even get a rmb
he is already littering guns every reload if you give him something else he will litter more.

That reason being that role was relagated to Ashe and they wanted him to do somethin different, he still very much has that precision playstyle on his LMB and funniy enough by timing his rolls correctly (since they now reduce damage) plus High noon is buffed to viability, but yea, i do think the rest of his kit is a bit out of left field atm.
Yea i mean i do enjoy the fact you have to actually be precise with it to gain value still with the 5 damage nerf they gave it, and its not like there are no tank bursting required its just… less prevalent it do feel kinda too spammy at times tho yea, i’d prefer if it had a bit less rate of fire, a bit less damage but toggleability but , maybe that’d be a bit too reliant on it for duels? idk…

well, even from a pretty decent range i wouldnt say its really that much a spam with Hanzo, there are definetly an very specific spot you want to try and hit with his shots, you can definetly spam but its not as beneficial as you might think, specially against people that know what you’re doing.
But yes… comes a range of around 35+ meters u might as well just spam.
Good kill the environment
