every echo sticky bomb lands on you oh crap, theyre gonna blow! i’ll sure be near death if i do-

ROLL dusts off shoulder nothing but a mere scratch.

junkrat throws mine + nade combo in close quarters Ah crap, im gonna die here. he has the upper hand in very close quarters combat. and heck i used my flash so i cant rly stop it, if only i coul-

ROLL *survives with 105hp remaining

I’m telling yall, this buff is gonna be busted in so many ways and i can imagine a plethora of things he can get away with. As if 225hp wasnt already problematic enough for him in OW1’s standards. Tell me again, why are we buffing one of the top dps heroes in the game again?

Blizzard have to be trolling at this point. I can’t take them seriously anymore

It’s impossible to play around, just like the many other defensive abilities in this game

I mean, Reaper and Moira literally become invincible for over twice as long, it’s obscene

Difference is both of these heroes are out of meta. Cass has been one of the strongest DPS picks for 2 years now. And they are buffing on top of that? When there are heroes that are underperfoming and take like twice the effort to get the same value. Like seriously who has problem with Reaper or Moira in the current meta tbh?

The difference is that the roll is much less flexible than those other types of skills. If you can deal with Reaper, you can deal with the cowboy

Maybe he’ll get this buff, and be a 200hp hero in OW2.

reaper is a point blank hero that you can play around by walking backwards. not saying cassidy is op but he is a lot harder to play around

It’ll take 450 burst damage to kill him if he has roll. Busted if goes live but good chance it will tbh, devs like cassidy

Why are you comparing the bottom half of the heroes to one of the top heroes in the game as if this buff is acceptable? let alone why mccree needing a buff to begin with in the first place is beyond me

Yeah… don’t do that.

why not? if you see him from a distance and back up, he can’t hurt you

because flashfan is soooo hype and McCree mains are as petulant as Mercy mains.

I’m comparing defensive abilities, not the whole character

If you can comprehend how you can possibly deal with several seconds of total invincibility with free movement, then I’m sure you can figure out a way to deal with less than half a second of reduced damage and restricted movement

Into his healers, please, it’ll make my day

Oh crap, I didn’t consider pulse bomb and other abilities that he’ll be able to survive…

HOTFIX: Fixed a bug where Cassidy lost games. He should now be unkillable at all times, deal 500 damage per shot, and have no cooldowns. In addition, we’re not happy with Deadeye, so now it instantly kills the enemy team upon activation. Hopefully, this should make some of the more vocal Cassidy mains happy.

I always thought that he shouldn’t take head shot damage bonus (crit) while in roll but still take normal damage as a test (pre-hp buff era). Either way, I wouldn’t take this seriously anymore, no one’s that interested in OW1 and most of these changes are probably preemptive tests for OW2. It’s not going to matter much for the long haul.

But you need to compare the whole character when talking about these things. Its like saying genji should be a tank because deflect is like a beefed up defense matrix. And if you only look at those 2 abilities you could argue that but when you look at the hero as a whole it makes no sense.

When I compare the whole characters, Cassidy still isn’t a big deal

I don’t see why all you people have such big issues dealing with the character and I don’t see how the buff is going to an absolute killer of a change that’s gonna warp the entire game

Like wow, he tanked a bullet from Soldier, so scary. Oops he died because Soldier kept shooting
