Please nerf Cassidy already

And yet I can get a game in around 1-3 minutes

Sure you do, with how broken tanks are

Most tanks are weaker now, the mid season changes buffed your main.

Sigma, Hog, Zarya, Queen are way stronger now

How is buffing Sigma a hero with no armor Cassidy’s biggest counter a buff lmaooo

Interesting

Once upon a time, yes. Not so much anymore. Primarily support. Kiri, Lucio, Zen, Brig, Moira, and even spending time on Ana lately. Honestly, I avoid queuing dps nowadays unless I’m with 2 or more friends who also want to support.

To give you an idea… I have I think 25-30 hours on Pharah in OW2? I had ~275 hours on her in OW1. I’ve got over a hundred on Kiriko already. IDK, got bored with her. I only play her when I’m forced to DPS, and even then I’m not super inclined to play her half the time.

I’ve actually played a little Cassidy recently. I’m decidedly mediocre at him and I’ve still been more effective than I have any right to be with him.

That would be a nothing-nerf.
The biggest problem is the increased hitboxes which makes the hitscans very, very strong. Hitscan in FPS games is already the strongest ability a weapon can have.

Add to that his Rate-of-Fire, and you just have a monster. To nerf him, I would lower his Rate-of-Fire to that of pre-buff (which happened in OW1).

Then I would revert the hitbox change of Season 9 completely. It just makes the game worse - and less skillful - overall.

Wow so you main the easiest role in the game with the most broken abilities/ ultimate’s. All those heroes are stronger than Cass and you want to complain.

They nerfed his ROF way back are you guys new. If he had his old ROF you’d have something to cry about

Yes, I can see how having to split your focus between keeping all of your teammates alive and putting out damage to help confirm kills is much easier than just having to kill.

Why are you playing Cassidy against sigma in the first place?
Sigma is designed to defend against poke.
Again if you do not play anymore then why are you complaining

Oh my bad I’m sorry I’ll edit my comment xd

No,
Op said this

So they aren’t playing the easiest role as much anymore.

It’s all good.

I don’t really get the “callout” post. I stand by all of my takes. I’ve said over and over again that I want pretty much everything nerfed because power creep is running wild.

Mostly all I want to do now is do silly meme strats with my wife in QP for laughs.

I keep running into Right-Click Randy’s that seem to have broken left mouse buttons.

Okay, funny story on this. I only have 17 hours on Cassidy. That’s 17 hours from OW1 beta to now. I was having trouble killing a Kiri/Mercy duo stalling, so I just started spamming right click point blank on Kiriko. It worked, but oh my god was it such a disaster. My friend, my wife, and I were busting up laughing.

That being said, we won the game and I did pretty good overall.

He’s fine. He’s really good but not busted or anything.

Oh yea, when?
Are you claiming that the current RoF is the same as release?
Because I can assure you it is not.

I’m the same way, but I’m not convinced that’s a sign of Cassidy being overpowered. I think it’s more that Cassidy is the best choice to deal with all the hypermobility going around without going hypermobile yourself. This is going to be cemented when they change Mag from the current janky, weird, awkward ability that it is now, to following Flashbang rules.

I think there’s some elements of that. Loathe as I am to admit it, without hinder the game would be even more dominated by Tracer/Doom/Ball/whatever.

That being said, he’s def overtuned. I think removing his extra HP would be a good place to start with trying to tone him back a bit.

I wouldn’t be surprised if that happened. After all, that worked for Zen.
