Cassidy Balance Changes

Balance Philosophy

For each hero in S and A tier, slightly nerf each part of the kit. The author notes these are not all meant to be implemented, and invites feedback on which should take priority.

Proposed Changes

Each entry lists the move or ability affected, the adjustment itself, and — where the analysis states one — the problem it is meant to solve and the reasoning behind it.

1. Peacekeeper

   Nerf

   Proposed adjustment

   Reload increased from 1.5 to 1.7 seconds and rate of fire reduced from 2 to 1.75 rounds a second.

   Current issue

   He gets easy kills given how fast his gun fires.

2. Fan the Hammer

   Nerf

   Proposed adjustment

   Rate of fire reduced from 8.33 to 8.1 rounds a second.

3. Flashbang

   Nerf

   Proposed adjustment
