The hero now is at the bottom of the barrel. Not even anti-flanker worthy. How about making him a tank buster if you’re not going to give flashbang back?

He doesn’t need that 2bh. What he need is less sticky nade dmg (100-110) but a .1s stun for interrupt utility. A stun outright allowing a free headshot or fth is bad, but a stun that only interrupts is nothing too big for a dps to have.

McCree right now is garbage tier imo. No stun… why not just pick soldier or sojourn. And his falloff is so much that sometimes healers outheal my headshots…
Still i think fth is the wrong buff. I would go for much less falloff or bringing back flashbang.

Tank busting should not exist.

Why not? this game is rock, paper, scissors after all. Gotta take out tanks somehow
He has a 125 dmg sticky grenade. If you are smart and not aimless you guarantee a kill with that. He is already op he doesn’t need a buff. How is he at the bottom?

Not being able to take out tanks = walk around them. And it’s basically the current meta.
If tanks want proper support they have to accept that they have to be killable or the support queue will get shorter and shorter.
Change his ultimate to some sort of “mega flash grenade” that just blinds targets looking at it. No stun, just a screen blind.
Then put a mini version of High Noon in place of his current sticky. Doesn’t deal extra excessive damage but it would grant a guaranteed headshot to all targets in LoS over the 1 second duration.
Would that be OP? Could cap it at 3 closest targets and allow it to reset upon rolling.

if any, it needs to be reworked. in fact, rework the whole hero. he is absolutely dogsht atm and loses to every other dps there.
considering how incredibly powerful tanks are, it absolutely should exist so that non-tanks have at least some chance of standing up to them

Already op? He was originally an anti-flanker, dealing with tracer and genji. With flashbang you can get around genji’s deflect and tracer’s recall/blink, what can he do with sticky bomb? Not to mention the new kiriko hero can cleanse/invinciblility. Reaper can fade away and drop off sticky bomb.
What exactly is he supposed to do here? Anti-flanker short range fights? A poor chance to these flanking heroes who has a solution against sticky bomb, and even then the new kiriko healer cleanse heroes who don’t have it. Medium range? Face off against shields. Fights zarya with her saber beam. Or Dva eating up cassidy’s shot, who then fly to his face while he’s reloading. Fight against far range? Sojourn/widowmaker one-shots him while he has to deal with falloff damage, even if the player has the ability to headshot 6 times in a row, a healer can just bring those sniping heroes up to health because it’s not a one-shot.
So what is cassidy’s role here exactly?

I think we should start by Nerfing Soljourn and see how he compares to the other Hitscans
Mid, to Mid-long range DPS. He still does 70 damage per bullet with regular shots, hitscan perfect accuracy.
He has a good tool to kill close range but its not a guarantee anymore, which is good. I dont think that throwing a fast cloud of bullets that can do up to 420 damage every reload is good for the game at all.
And so do Devs, for years.

Never hopefully.
The only reason cowboy ain’t good rn is that heroes he should be able to counter are simply overtuned (namely Genji), he has as a midrange hitscan way to many, that do the same job better than he does (Soldier, Bastion and Ashe) and he isn’t able to fight at long range. He is a nixhe char rn, what isn’t bad, considering how many Damage geroes exist. He is a good counter to Sombra, a high threat to Tracer.
The game has devolved into Winston/Reaper/Sojourn/Lucio/Kiriko in OWL matches, so he has a ‘what tool is sticky bomb?’ option against this composition. The game balance is gone.
Mid to mid-long range? That doesn’t exist any longer. I don’t know what the devs want, and sure 70 FTH is more than likely a terrible idea that will break things, but at least I’m going to see some real changes to having a proper role for cassidy.
Cassidy doesnt need to be in every meta and every comp mate, relax.
Also you are not supposed to vs all and every one of them and win alone. If you have support behind you can pull up and grenade + 2 HS.
If its a squishie, literally grenade + regular hit its a KO.
The range exists, he is just not god in every range possible, chill. Dont pretend Cassidy is not versatile and can be picked in many situations, because thats dishonest. Also Reaper has been trash for YEARS, its not bad at all that we are seeing him once in a while.

What is that accusation of me being dishonest? Tell me which map in OWL you saw cassidy in? I watched a number of played games, but I didn’t see cassidy. I did however saw lots of MIRROR picks, which meant there’s no variety of hero choices on a specific map.
Edit: And you’re seeing reaper now because Goats doesn’t exist any longer, and reaper is a tank buster. Imagine seeing tank doing DPS level of damage. Shocking, I know.
Do you need the quote?
This is false. Totally made up.
You know that OWL is not the ENTIRE game, right? Like if something is not in OWL doesnt equal its trash. Thats the dishonest stance. You are complaining the sky is blue mate, Meta slaves are Meta slaves, we know. Shocker!
Same can be said about many other heroes and nothing happens. Dont be mistaken:
Something overused in OWL is good, but something not used in OWL does NOT equal bad/trash.
Thats just what it is
