Overwatch 2: Cassidy's grenade nerf may be buff
Cassidy's magnetic grenade will be reworked in season five, with Overwatch 2 fans believing it could serve as both a nerf and a buff.
Cassidy will be reworked ahead of next seasonThe grenade, known for sticking to opponents and causing a deadly explosion, will now reduce enemy speed and disable movement-based abilities.
While fans worry about the change becoming as annoying as the original grenade, it could give Cassidy more playmaking power through crowd control.
Blizzard aims to emphasise crowd control in Overwatch 2, prompting reworks for heroes like Cassidy and Mei.
Cassidy has already undergone several nerfs to his utility, including damage reductions in recent patches.
Alongside Cassidy's changes, the new support hero Lifeweaver will also receive further tweaks.
Players will have to wait and see how these changes truly impact Cassidy's gameplay, as Blizzard's implementation will reveal whether they are nerfs or buffs.
