Good or bad, Cassidy is still one of the coolest hero in the game. You've got a roster of Mech pilots, war robots, medics with cyber wings, a time warper, a cyborg ninja, and this guy is just a cowboy with a six-shooter and a couple bombs.

Everything about him is so cool, his gun with the spurs is lit af, he wears a badass shawl, and he frickin’ smokes a damn cigar the whole time he fights. I especially love that in everybody’s eyes he’s kind of a loser. Idc if I lose every game cause he’s not meta, win or lose hes a badass and I’m picking his ass as my hero.

As a Cassidy main please I just want them to increase the range before damage drop off. Other buffs would be nice if they dropped the sticky bomb damage or range a bit, but for the easiest change damage drop off range would make mid range gunfights and peppering from a distance infinitely more viable on Cassidy, which I feel is where he should thrive

I don't, mid-longe range hitscans only make this game less fun for a great portion of the cast if there isn't double shields (as is the case.) The better solution is to increase falloff on all hitscans and sojourn so that maximum damage is inbetween close-midrange and make cassidy on par with ashe as a true midrange hero. Also remove widomaker.

As a former Overwatch player, i think they should skip the drop-off entirely. It never made sense, he's a cowboy. He's supposed to fire hard gun with accurate bullet that kills. He should've been the alt-sniper. A gambit. Either you miss and waste your time on range without a scope, or you score big. Either you miss your flashbang and get fucked, or you hit it and delete the lucio by shooting him to death with your gun. That's what i liked about Mcree. Unreliable but deserved wins, unreliable but deserved lows. Justice.

Hopefully this video picks up more. It feels like nobody else is talking about Cassidy's issues, passing him off as "playable". The moment that hit me was when I ulted 4 people, but somehow the Mercy survived by sidestepping the bullet. I didn't even know the ult could just outright miss someone in the open like that. Personally, I think Nade, Roll, Fan and Deadeye all just need to go (as much as I love Deadeye thematically), but I'll sit and wait anxiously to see what Blizzard do since they did say in a Tweet recently that they wanted to bring more utility into his kit.

His ULT is the ONLY active cc'able ULT that doesn't provide ANY value until the trigger is pulled. Even Phara who just stays in place provides consistent value throughout her ULT. His new nade is worse than flashbang in EVERY way. It's counterable, unreliable, usually unnecessary DMG (you'll kill them by the time the nade detonates) if you're a good Cass, and its aoe dmg is near non-existent if the enemy happens to use mobility to dodge or escape its range (if it didn't stick to the wrong target or to a wall because it curves). Additionally the nade ONLY sees usage at close range while SJ, Ash, and Soldier all have bursts that can be used long range as well, so you're dishing out less overall burst dmg because yours either requires you to be much more risky (potentially abandon some positioning, unlike the others) or have enemies on you already to see any value. In other words, it's much more situational and it doesn't make up for it against good players that know how to play around it (which is much easier for this than flexible short to long range bursts). Only time nade can be "op" is against noobs. His roll is also joke - wow a reload and a small WINDOW of reduced dmg instead of the full duration. Meanwhile, the afformentioned heros either reload faster, have more DMG potential, or have a better ability in place of what Roll takes. Next up is SJ, Ash, and Soldier over there taking high ground in half a second while Cass rolls/walks to it. 2 of these have smaller hitboxes than Cass. All 3 have better dmg falloff range. All 3 have better poke dmg. All 3 have better Ults that aren't as situation dependent and do just fine as when High noon is at its best while not putting the user anywhere near the same amount of risk. All 3 have better CONSISTENT, RELIABLE, and FULLY USER CONTROLLED bursts. All 3 have better mobility. All 3 have better synergies with other ults (such as Kiriko - Visor, Bob, and SJ can shoot and do everything else while her ULT is active). All 3 are better at dueling Pharmacy's and Echo's. All 3 are less dependant on their team to succeed (bc Cass gets dove and it's gg, at least Ash can push the enemies away while distancing or get high ground) Only one here that's slightly out of place is SJ bc she's not hitscan, but we all know she basically is with how little you have to lead your shots. Cass isn't even a jack of all trades anymore. He's just "gun, shoot" with a dumb inflexible nade and a master at nothing relative to the others. It's sad as a Cass one-trick who works his ass off to have God aim and good positioning, but gets punished for playing a barely ok character anywhere outside of low ranks.

I think making his fall off damage better, decreasing his ult cost so he can realistically have it up every 1 and 1/3rd fights along with some quality of life changes like a minor range buff to the roll would make him feel fantastic to play. He'd fill a niche of being able to force out defensive cooldowns like Tracer, but from range. Then he'd stabily facilitate plays for him and his team.

@taragnor
@taragnor Жыл бұрын
Given a lack of CC, there's actually very little that can even be done to help healers if the healers aren't good at evading and defending themselves. I mean sure you can shoot the flanker, but if they initiated, they'll almost always have time to finish off your healer if your healer doesn't react in time. You have to basically be ready for the flanker before they get in close and shoot them first, which basically means you're babysitting your supports the entire game. Even then, those characters are hard to hit, so you've probably got to be more skilled than the guy playing the flanker to keep up with them. Honestly in OW2, you need healers that are skilled at protecting themselves otherwise you're screwed. It's what I love about Baptiste. Between his healing burst and the immortality field, he's nearly flanker proof unless they come with a lot of them.

Ana, is an easy and simple character to play, who also does have a high skill ceiling, which encourages people to get better with her.

If I were to buff Cassidy to deal with flankers the way he could in Overwatch 1, I would make his sticky grenade explode instantly (no timer). but I would also nerf its damage to 100 instead of 130, that way in order to do a one-shot combo the Cass needs either a headshot or to weave in a melee. I think that would give him a fighting chance while also giving room for counterplay.

Here's some things I've been thinking to maybe make him a little more viable. -increase his base movement speed a little more so he's not the slow moving target and can disengage or engage easier. -Consecutive shots that hit increase his reload speed by 10% up to 60%. It cancels upon reloading or missing a shot. This will give him more stopping power vs tanks so he's not just peppering them even at close range since if he has to commit to being in a tanks preferable range then he should have a better chance at contributing more damage to them. Could even make it so his damage ignores armor. His bullets are hollow point after all, theyre designed to HURT so it makes sense lore wise and it would make another dps that specializes in tank busting. This should not really effect his vs dps or supp capabilities to where it's broken since it's much more difficult to hit those smaller heroes and even if you did they'd die in 2-3 shots anyway like it is now. -Turn control while combat rolling. Turning with your mouse while combat rolling will change the direction he rolls in. Maybe adding a self heal to it like 50 HP or something so it can actually be a defensive ability. The damage reduction alone doesn't do much since you can't shoot during it so it's only useful for surviving things that would otherwise kill you like tracer bomb or something. Obviously the reload is good but I'd like also if you could say roll while not pressing any movement keys and it'll keep you in the same position but still reload your weapon. -While in Deadeye you are immune to all forms of crowd control even roadhog hook etc and maybe bump the damage reduction up to like 50-60%. I personally think the ult is fine as a zoning tool but the fact that you can bonk him out of it completely invalidates that aspect and makes it so you don't really have to respect it like other dps ults. Just some of my ideas

I know this is a bit late, but hollow points would actually be worse against armor since hollow points are made to dump all their energi into the target as fast as possible, which is what armor is really good against, speed is what beats armor, since a fast bullet dumps less energi into its target. sorry for the rant but I cant stand gun/firearm misinformation, and if I get help someone to get smarter then the world has gotten that small bit better.

Then for some reason Blizzard decided they didn't like him being a viable choice so they nerfed everything about him from Fan damage to range and damage drop off. Removing his flashbang was sort of the final nail in the coffin because now he has zero maneuvers against whatever tank decides to rush him. Probably their worst change to him out of everything else

My joke suggestion for an ability would be, to give him a horse. But my real suggestion would probably be what if he had a whip or lasso (to stick with the cowboy motif) as for what they could do I have no idea I don’t play him enough to have legitimate suggestions but I do feel the same way that he doesn’t have a same place in the game as he did before.

As a semi-casual player, another perspective that frustrates me is that its also just WAY less fun to play sticky bomb. What I've been saying is that the loss of his flashbang robs him of so much identity and player expression, there were levels and subtle different ways to playing him, the grenade could do 300 flat damage and Id still like it less than flash. You could tell a Cassidy playstyle purely by how they use their flash. Flash into headshot, flash into FTH, 1 shot into flash into kill, fucking flash just to get them to waste their invul like a psycho. There was mind games with flash against genji/tracer/reaper etc. You could just tell who played Cass and how they did it, SO much expression from a stun since his kit was built around it, give stun to anyone else and its a rock but with Cass its a tool. Sticky, how else do you use it except to get extra damage. I guess sticky, walk away but that aint reliable, and half the time I kill em before my sticky goes off, its just fuckin boring, no matter how good it is I dont enjoy having a skill I press for the sake of pressing. Sticky just makes Cassidy play like a tool designed for one role, rather than a character WITH tools. I like his other skills (roll, FTH, Deadeye) cause they can be fun but they also get bogged down by this character crisis. If stun is too oppressive, do something else interesting imo, as it stands rn sticky is just plan simple dull.

Soldier always was better than Cass except for having cheese flashbang in ow1. 20 meters range vs 30 meters range is where Soldier shines. All that mobility talk yada yada, it's the fact that other hitscans outperform him by a mile. Cass vs Junkrat or Pharah or Torb is completely fair matchup based on positioning, surprising enemy or range. But try that against long range hitscans. You just get toasted above 20 meters, you have equal chances in between 10-20 and you have better below 10. But since you have no mobility or survability to hang around 10 meters, you mostly fight others at 10 and above, while longer ranges play at their comfy 20-30. So you have to play smart to have equal chances while they can for free have advantage over you and can beat you even if you stay in your good range.

But if you’re a good Cassidy I’m sure you can find a balance between both. But he definitely has a more defensive move set. Roll, fan the hammer, and even sticky bombs are all stay back utilities.

The problem with that is his entire kit is shit. I would know because I'm a Cassidy main. The roll barely moves you so it's more of a roll behind cover instead of get away. His fan the hammer is useless against squishies since it has a random spread and does reduced damage from 70 to 50 so you would by some stroke of luck atleast hit 4 of those shots to kill someone at full health. The grenade while at times is very powerful is extremely inconsistent at targeting and sticking to enemies and is countered by almost all meta heroes. The only reason I still main Cassidy is because I like cowboys

Extra damage from the grenade is just unnecessary to his kit, and I agree with you that they should remove it entirely. It is such a lazy design too, and doesn’t feel like it fits the theme of a western gunslinger at all. If blizzard wants to keep Cassidy as a close quarter combatant, he needs an additional charge of dash at least so he can force an engage and still have the ability to disengage in one piece when things go south. I would love to see an utility skill added to his kit, something that might help with tracking down enemies, conditionally lock onto headshots, or reduce the spread on fan the hammer. I personally like the theme of Cassidy’s ult but it is definitely one of the worst ults in the game because of the discrepancy between where Cassidy normally plays and where his ult is the most powerful.

This is going to sound a bit weird but what if they gave him a trap ability like Junkrat but instead of a floor trap he wrangles you with with a long range rope like Roadhog's hook? The idk if the rope should cancel out abilities like hook but it temporatly reduces the movement speed of the captured hero and not let them jump. I think that would be an interesting idea and still go with the cowboy theme 🤠

I main cass and he feels so terrible currently. He used to be able to take so many more duels with flashbang compared to sticky, and for some reason his ult can outright miss. It happens at least once a session when I play and it feels awful. I don't think it's ever happened to me when I played OW1, I have no idea how they accidently made an already terrible ult even worse. All blizzard needs to do is revert his grenade to flashbang and fix the hit registration on his ult, that's all I'm asking for.

This speaks to a general design philosophy flaw I think blizzard has with overwatch 2. The consistently prioritize removing elements that are frustrating to play against OVER mechanics that are fun to play. Whether that's roadhog's hook, mei's freeze, or cassidy's flashbang. As a result the characters have become more and more similar over time. In this situation there isn't nearly as much potential for varied strategy and counter-strategy. Blizzard can't decide whether they want Overwatch to be a frustration-free casual experience, or a sweaty competitive game.

Imagine if the ult was swapped to a red dead sort of thing. A dead eye ability that takes 3 seconds max, but anyone hit is down. If youre able to aim then good, but one missed shot cancels it.

Keep the nade. Reduce the damage to like 30. Have it slow and cause anti for a small period of time. Slow and anti on detonation for like 4 seconds. Gives cole some short range pick potential and tank management and also a unique take on a mobility or escape tool. Lots would drop a chase on Cass if they are slowed and antid allowing Cass more survivability. He can still have these weaknesses at long range but is actually a good pick/combo character. (Slow would only be something small like 15-30% just enough to get some more shots in.

Everything in this video is 100% true. Cassidy has been absolutely destroyed and Blizzard doesn't seem to care. No mobility + very aim dependent + big hitbox = constantly dying no matter what you do. The effective range illustration was brilliant.

Just lower Grenade damage slightly and increase range a bit. If he lands it, that can end up being a forced respawn for most supports and dps. However it’s only really good for close range. As a result, it just makes him annoying to play against.
@Kyrious
@Kyrious Жыл бұрын
My favorite part of playing Cas is at medium range landing a headshot, and three bodyshots consecutively and them still not dying. Just a tiny bit of healing can make Cassidy useless. It’s annoying being outranged all the time while ranged characters have tight hitboxes and Cas is a massive. Landing 5 headshots at range is very impressive but useless because it takes 6-7 of them. Give him Kiriko headshot multipliers at range so he can at the very least do decent headshot damage at range. Until they decide what they want to do

Maybe he targets on bodies instead of heads and deals damage. That's actually a good idea. I don't know who at blizzard decided to add bombs or stuns to a cowboy. If the Ability has like a 20 sec cooldown I would say its not broken at all.

One idea I had that would take a ton of work, but would kinda solve the whole counterpick system, is that characters could have customizable movesets. Completing challenges could unlock different moves for you to use. Some people miss Doom’s uppercut, so make it a move that can replace his rocket punch.
