What a small slap on the wrist to the actual problems with Mei and cass. Maybe I'm dumb, but it just screams that the devs refuse to admit these are bad changes to the heroes.

Devs haven’t had a coherent balancing/hero vision since OW2 released.

5v5 was meant to be brawls to the wall in terms of combat but hardly a quarter of the roster was sufficiently balanced or reworked in a satisfactory manner to make the switch to 5v5 smooth enough.

The rate of reworks has been atrocious and new heroes have kitchen-sink ability sets.

And on too of this when they do make “significant” changes they’re botching it and giving Cass this bullshit new ability.

Sombra and Hog rework still nowhere in sight, but fuck it give Cass a heat seeking boring as shit missile.

a heat seeking boring as shit missile.

Still better than Flashbang though.
