When is cassidy going to get back 70 damage for FTH?

[BraveWolf-11622]

Technically when he had flashbang he didn’t exactly need that. If you give him the mobility that the others have, it’s going to kill his identity from ow1. I want an appropriate option that gives him the space he needs to shoot properly without feeling he’s going to die to any random 1 shots / pressure.

Currently I feel every single tank can just walk straight up to him and kill him without any repercussions, but people seem to hate the idea of tank buster, so the next suggestion I have is rapid burst damage that tears up pushes and he can then dodge away with 6 bullets ready.

[Mugen-22575]

Yeah, his tank matchups are awful because he can’t escape from them nor kill them quicker than they kill him.

He’s already a tank buster, you literally fan, roll and fan again. Thats enough to delete a hog

I thought that maybe making his roll reduce the cooldown of his sticky nade on top of reloading his gun. Maybe like reduces the cooldown in half based of the max cooldown timer. I think making it outright reseting the cooldown would make it hell for squishy characters getting hit by sticky nade twice back to back

2bh, so far his identity is that he does a bit of everything but not too much, especially in his old days, which is both his strongsuit and his issue.

Roll is an ability that has the use for mobility and dps increase (instant reload), both of them are crucial, which made its cd very hard to balance.

Flash had 2 major uses as well in long interruption (not a long stun since it’s still below 1s, which means tanks doesn’t necessarily die during the stun) and solo pick, both of them are very powerful which makes the ability itself a balance problem point.

Current sticky bomb has a single-minded use which is to deal 130 dmg, it takes squishes down to single body shot and that’s it. It’s good for his own sake but doesn’t provide anything else on top of it. The ask to nerf its damage but add a very short stun on top of it is to make it into a pressure tool (instead of solo kill tool) and a interruption tool, both of which are weaker than the previous flash but still fit his theme of jack of all trades.

Adding another functionality to the already hard-to-choose-between roll honestly won’t solve any problems he has, only adding onto some more.

[Shinigami-15962]

He should honestly get his roll looked at maybe a nice little buff

Cassidy is currently suffering from “Not Sojourn” syndrome.

In other words, Sojourn is basically everything Cassidy wants to be, except better. I think the best idea is to nerf Sojourn and then see where he ends up, instead of buffing him to compete with an OP monster.

Every single problem in OW1 started like that. It is always a compounding of little thing shortsighted devs think won’t have big consequences but time travel a year from now and we’re all in the crapshow

this game already has big issues. the balance is no better than ow1 rn anyway.

@Yara-11173

Furthermore, devs have mentioned their desire to move away from counters, specially hard counters, and tank busting is nothing more than a category counter in a category locked game, it simply should not exist

except tank busters don’t hard counter tanks, they just make the matchup fairer.

@Yara-11173

If Cass needs help, he needs help. I favour, if needs be, increasing his rate of fire, the part of his kit with some aim to it, unlike FTH, a relic ability devs have failed to address from the Flashbang days that might as well be removed

yes. this isn’t specifically about fth, but about catering to tank players in general

[Huevoasesino-11543]

Thank God Geoff isnt around anymore, he liked to give random buffs to mccree just because

[EFFECT-21855]

@Øliviamanią-1737

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.

How much playtime do you have on Cree and whats your Rank?

[SadTankMain-1628]

You are comparing him to SSS tier heroes and saying he is garbage. Nerf Soldier, Sojourn, and Ashe

[Overwatch-21968]

I compare him to all DPS except Sym. There is no reason at all to pick McCree. His niche was fth melting tanks and flashbang. And he is toast vs flankers

[Beesǃ-2610]

@Tsunder-11669

The whole overwatch community when this change goes live:

We all know the devs will find some excuse to unnecessarily buff Cassidy again.

He’s their precious child and can do no wrong.

[Elujin-2975]

perhaps FTH needs to give him some movement speed
It would make sense in the kit I think but granted it would look ffing stupid
