I wish they’d just move away from this gimmicky close-mid range playstyle that no one enjoys. It’s just wild how hard he is outranged by other mid range heroes. There’s always the comparisons to Ashe when you mention his terrible range, but we have to look at his power level compared to all hitscan. Even the support hitscans outdamage him at range.
Baptiste at 25-45 which is what Cowboy used to have
Bastion, Soldier, Ashe, Illari are at 30-50
Widow and Sojourns alt fire are at 40-60
Ana with no falloff
No one that plays this hero wants to play him as a close range hero. It’s all about clicking heads at mid to long like other hitscans and similar heroes. Longer range projectile heroes like Sojourn and Hanzo are pretty strong and it’s hard to contest them with the falloff too.
They could remove magnetic grenade and fan the hammer but give him back the range and this hero would feel infinitely better and more fluid
You cant even play him at close range if you wanted to. He gets absolutely demolished by tanks since blizzard is giving them all super speed now, and trying to back up versus a tank running forward at you is asking to die.
Not to mention theyre making all new healers and dps heads super fucking small and they all seem to move at blazing speeds when strafing left/right, making trying to land a headshot on them almost impossible.
Cassidy isn’t supposed to be a Tank bully / Tank buster at the first place.
