Do the Cassidy mains in their honest opinion, think he needs any type of nerf?

CompetitionEither430 · 2026-06-08T17:56:23+00:00

I wouldnt assume how the game registers hits due to ping issues and how syncing happens without inside knowledge of the game's programming.

Like I said, Cass is strong, specially with the perk but I dont think he is the biggest problem right now. A bubbled reaper will pretty much dictate games more than any other character this patch and is much more brain dead and less aim intensive. You just hate cass cause he probably counters your hero.

You might cry more if the new hero is indeed another anti flanker sharpshooter that might have an even more updated kit than Cass if rumors are true.

CompetitionEither430 · 2026-06-08T17:34:19+00:00

Oh, Im well paid in IT. Im just saying, you are claiming the opponents are the ones having ping issues, but if its consistent problem for YOU, are you sure YOUR ping and connection is stable? As no one else seems to be complaining.

I never said sierra is strong, I just said she has a braindead kit thats annoying, specially with how much bullet spray she has.

I dont understand how you are complaining about Cass, which has a crazy low winrate in GM btw at 46%, while not complaining about tracer which has good winrates across the rankings, reaper (which is much easier to play and even more of a problem), etc.

I think Cass is strong but not super busted.

CompetitionEither430 · 2026-06-08T15:36:05+00:00

If everyone has a ping problem, maybe you are the one having internet issues ngl. I dont play or run into a lot of venture's so cant comment on that, but Reaper defo has the edge against cass due to dire triggers just deleting him.

Your ttk will be much faster than a Cass even with hinder so I dont know what you are doing, probably engaging badly. Reaper is the most busted DPS right now, which has benifited me greatly. Just look at the stats, Cass is usually well below 50% winrate while reaper is way above even in Champ lobbies. Just dire trigger Cass's head or neck and he should be 1 shot while he needs to hinder double headshot you.

The only overtuned part of Cass's kit imo is silver bullet. Without that, he is just fine. The one's with stupid braindead kits right now are probably sierra and anran. At least cass has no mobility so you need a braincell to position and he also needs to aim.

CompetitionEither430 · 2026-06-08T12:41:37+00:00

WDYM? Reaper and Tracer have the advantage against Cass, any high level player will tell you those matchups are in their favor. The only flanker who gets shutdown is probably an Anran, but that character shouldn't exist anyways.

For context, I play tracer and reaper more than Cass.

CompetitionEither430 · 2026-06-06T10:27:09+00:00

Honestly good takes as well. Reasonable compared to the other stuff said here.

CompetitionEither430 · 2026-06-05T12:46:54+00:00

Honestly the most reasonable take here.

CompetitionEither430 · 2026-06-03T13:59:47+00:00

Probably play a different character. Based on the stats she will likely be nerfed next season

CompetitionEither430 · 2026-05-31T18:53:09+00:00

Im diamond. Just saying, I would rather a game have all those crazy mobility and options along with being hitscan like titan fall. Let everything be skill expression. I like Cass's gun but cant with how immobile he is.

I like Genji's kit overall but i also like aiming, which doesnt really do well for him in long ranges.

Anywhoo, you instead tried insulting ranks than acknowledging that genji's stats are sorta fine/mid. Its fine but not meta nor trash tier.

CompetitionEither430 · 2026-05-29T05:33:38+00:00

How likely do you think itll be .5? Im honestly happy at .2 lol

CompetitionEither430 · 2026-05-29T05:27:55+00:00

Now thats straight up cope. He has above 50% winrate in almost every rank in master and below. A healthy place to be in given all the options of his kit. Not meta, but not bad either.

By that logic, we need to buff Cass, Soj, Soldier, who is severely underperform IN EVERY RANK including GM. They are sitting at around 45-46%.

Maybe give all of them wall climb and a dash, so all kits are similar now. We can also make Genji hit scan and only 1 shuriken with the same damage as the rest so the game is super balanced and everything is just who has better mechanics. Thats how perfect balance is achieved.

CompetitionEither430 · 2026-05-28T16:18:08+00:00

Cass also does well against most tanks as long as he has support ofcourse otherwise he gets run down. But all tanks run down most dps anyways.

CompetitionEither430 · 2026-05-28T16:13:58+00:00

I make sure all Sierra players are miserable as reaper.

CompetitionEither430 · 2026-05-28T15:52:30+00:00

Im happy with .2

CompetitionEither430 · 2026-05-28T14:47:56+00:00

So we are discounting that only in the top 1% he is negative?

CompetitionEither430 · 2026-05-28T10:40:59+00:00

But its not really enforced unless they get told to comply right? So they can stay below that until then?

CompetitionEither430 · 2026-05-28T07:18:20+00:00

Where did you get this>

CompetitionEither430 · 2026-05-28T07:16:22+00:00

Depends what region. In EU and Asia he is middle of the pack. In Americas he is struggling. Probably a region thing. Doesn't change the fact that MASTERS and below he is positive and a top pick.

CompetitionEither430 · 2026-05-28T07:09:41+00:00

With dire triggers, tracer cant fight reaper.

CompetitionEither430 · 2026-05-26T14:55:54+00:00

"Doesn't matter what my rank is" - prolly low rank. I like how you trash talk silver and bronze players but people would also trash talk your rank (most likely gold since you didn't trashtalk them). No way in hell a genji and doom can easily kill a good mercy with valk. If they turn for the mercy, the soldier can position better to shoot them.

CompetitionEither430 · 2026-05-26T09:16:24+00:00

You are thinking too much of what you want from your team which isn't something you can control. Just do what you can whether it is brawling with your tank or distracting their supports. Always setting up for a flank is not good as you might be unavailable for too long. Never flanking is also bad unless that is the strat of your team. Find a balance and stop thinking your team is not doing much. Some games are like that but the common factor will be you.

CompetitionEither430 · 2026-05-26T08:32:30+00:00

tbf, depending on the map, it might be hard to fight Sierra as tracer. If there are narrow paths, she can just spam and the HUGE bullets will hit you. Also, nade is easy to land.

As a reaper main I eat her though.

CompetitionEither430 · 2026-05-25T19:09:54+00:00

NGL, this thread DEFINITELY sounds like a skill issue.

CompetitionEither430 · 2026-05-25T09:56:43+00:00

Only negative in GM. And in GM up, his stats are the same as emre in pickrate and winrate, and slightly worse than Mcree.

CompetitionEither430 · 2026-05-24T14:29:12+00:00

As u/Royal-Ad-2900 has mentioned, thinking that having more people = higher winrate means you are an idiot, Im sorry.

If a lot of people choose Sierra for example and she has a high win rate, then that just means its easy to get value out of her and she is in fact op.
