Cassidy's Strengths & Weaknesses
Strengths
Very high burst damage at close to mid range.
Despite being hitscan, his burst damage at close and mid range is very high, so in a mid-range 1-on-1 he can gain an advantage over almost every hero except tanks.
Mobility denial via Flashbang.
Landing Flashbang can greatly impede the mobility of high-mobility heroes, making him quite strong against heroes that depend on mobility.
How to Counter
Have the tank prioritize targeting Cassidy.
Even though Cassidy struggles to deal damage outside of close and mid range, he doesn't have much mobility, making it hard for him to keep distance when a tank approaches.
Use heroes with longer range than Cassidy.
Using heroes with high poke power or longer range than Cassidy makes it harder for him to peek and harder for him to rack up damage.
