Overwatch 2’s Season 7 Buff Leaves Players Baffled as Cole Cassidy’s Combat Roll Defies Death Against D.Va Bombs

In a surprising turn of events, Overwatch 2’s Season 7 brought an unexpected buff to Cole Cassidy’s Combat Roll, allowing the gunslinging cowboy to survive a close-range D.Va bomb. Typically used for movement and automatic reload, Combat Roll’s damage reduction was increased from 50% to 75%, making Cassidy resilient against powerful attacks. A Reddit clip by Nukacherrypng showcased Cassidy surviving D.Va’s ultimate, Self-Destruct, with just 25 health remaining, a significant feat given the explosive’s potential 800 damage.

This unexpected survivability tool has left Overwatch 2 players both confused and frustrated. Many questioned the need for a buff to Cassidy, a hero considered effective at all ranks. The ability to withstand D.Va’s ultimate, known for its high damage output, seemed unusual, especially since even tanks in Overwatch 2 cannot mitigate the blast without barriers.

Despite the confusion, some players found amusement in the absurdity of a cowboy evading a massive explosion through a simple roll. Comparisons to FromSoftware games were drawn, highlighting the similarity to dodge rolls crucial for overcoming Elden Ring and Dark Souls bosses. The buff has sparked discussions among players about the implications of Cassidy’s newfound survivability and whether the change will remain in future updates.
