Overwatch 2 Cassidy “rework” is a perfect, hilarious Mei counter
As Blizzard mulls over its Overwatch 2 Cassidy rework, the development team shares one potential idea targeted at the most tyrannical, divisive hero to ever grace the FPS game. Few Overwatch 2 characters split the hero shooter’s user base quite like the frosty face of Mei, and Blizzard has given her haters a glimpse of a more peaceful world thanks to a perfect Mei counter that’s as hilarious as it is ridiculous.
Players in Overwatch can largely be divided into two groups – those who feel a burning rage whenever they have to face a Mei on the enemy team, and those who take great delight in being that Mei and driving the opposing team to despair. If the mere sight and sound of the Chinese damage specialist and her cheerful quips gets your blood boiling, this latest update should provide at least a moment’s blissful relief.

Instead of its current form, where it travels a short distance when thrown but latches to nearby enemies, the grenade now instead hurls itself across the map towards the enemy Mei, affixing to her and immediately taking her out.
