So every one know poor cowboy is worst dps right now. What made cassidy broken in season 3? That wasnt range of his gun buff. Two factors contribute to him being so strong back then. That was his burst combo with 130 damage nade. I know every one hates hinder nade but objectivly burst damage from old mag was way better. Second factor is mercy in season 3 with her change to heal 50% more when hero has less than half hp. That was working really well with cassidy 225 hp and damage reduction on combat roll. So if they bring his range today to 25-45 I doubt it he will became S tier hero, maybe low A tier. He will be at least viable to play, maybe even good. I don’t know why in last patch they nerfed him even more.
I dont know why Blizzard has doubled down on nerfing every aspect of Hindernade EXCEPT the magnetism.
Literally if it was say, 100 damage (with no hinder/slow) but required him to actually land a stick and followup with a headshot to kill? I wouldn’t find it OP. Skillshots should be rewarded. Its the fact that he could land a *body* shot and insta kill with a homing missile that chased you 180 degrees around corners that made it dumb. But Blizzard has insisted on keeping the homing aspect of nade for no good reason
