Howdy y'all!

My name is Tale, and I'm a Champion/T500 Cassidy OTP and coach. I have 1000+ hours on the hero and 200+ hours coaching him alone. I put together a guide for the community on the essential rolltech spots that are both practical and (relatively) consistent for use in your games.

Cassidy is (obviously) not a hero with much verticality. Fortunately, there are a few places on some maps that allow you to break this design flaw.

A few things:

Roll Tech

A roll tech is when you, as Cassidy, stand against a surface and press roll and jump at essentially the same time, erring on the side of roll being \~1 frame after roll. Cassidy must leave the ground for the tech to work. It really isn't much more complicated than this.

If you are running into issues executing a specific tech, it is likely NOT related to alignment or movement, it's almost definitely your timing. Timing is the most important part of the tech, so practice that most when it comes to each spot.

Roll teching is most commonly executed against small walls, ledges, and sloped surfaces. This is not an essential tech to learn on Cassidy, but if you are someone who likes learning new movement options and maximizing what the hero can do, it's definitely worth spending some time on.

Late Tech

Late teching is when you use roll at some \*variable time\* after jumping, not 1-frame after, as is with roll tech. The timing changes dramatically based on what spot you are attempting to tech off of.

The reason this term exists is to introduce consistency between spots and to give people a better indication of what kind of timing is required to execute a tech. As you try some of the spots in my (or other people's) videos, you will quickly realize that its not 1 precise timing and that many spots require at least some level of trial and error to get a feel for.

Jump Spots

In the video I also include jump spots, which either don't require a ledge/wall/surface to stand against OR can be made without rolling. My end goal with the guide was to help you move around maps more effectively -- and while roll techs help you do that -- they are not the only method of doing so.

Other Videos

There are a LOT of spots that exist for Cassidy and a few videos that already demonstrate them. Here is a list for your reference:

A few others, but these are some of the most comprehensive. There are no complete videos with all spots.

My Guide

I have put together a \~8 minute guide featuring a tech tutorial as well as the most important rolltech, late tech, and jump spots that are \*\*\*genuinely\*\*\* useful. Every single spot in this guide is doable in a competitive game after practicing a few times.

Although I have discovered new spots in the past, this guide does not include any that haven't already been known/shown by the broader community. Rather, I have consolidated the spots to the ones that actually useful. There are a few that exist that are very useful (such as one on Shambali 2nd ATK that lets you climb up the cliff to the mini-side on defense), but they are just FAR too inconsistent to execute within a ranked game and risk your roll CD on.

If there are any spots that you use consistently in your own games, let me know! I'd love to make another, updated guide in the future. Thanks y'all -- lmk what you think!

Downloaded the game today and I'm wondering what character would play most similarly to Briar from League?

I am a lane Briar one trick and her playstyle is generally the type I find the most enjoyable (arguably the only playstyle I find enjoyable in fighting games, which I view League as)

And if you don't play League, Briar's main traits are being a champion that just runs at you with gap closers and tries to kill you, the most important thing is the idea of like, good mobility and low/no escape with the idea of "I can really only go in but I've got a lot of stats to back it up"

I don't imagine I'll put significant time into the game since I downloaded it to play with friends, but, in the event that I do, I'd like to start off with a character that helps me enjoy the game and fulfill that aggro braindead gameplay "always go in" style of mine (and I can optimize the windows to with time/more knowledge of champ kits in the future)

New to Rein and just played a game against Winston, Anran and Tracer and I got completely steamrolled. They were all jumping straight past me and destroying my backline before I could even get to them in time.

But it isn’t just one game. Every time I play against a dive tank I can’t get anywhere neat then and stop them from terrorising me

I'm currently returning to Overwatch and having a lot of fun again.

Getting my hands warm in ranked as well, currently plat on heal, but kinda stuck there.

I don't know if I'm doing anything wrong or am I just unlucky with mates( my mates are obviously the issue *Kappa*)

I'm getting, in some games, most DPS and heal at the same time with a big distance.

Often I get tanks that run in expecting us to out heal damage from 5 enemies.

is there anything I can do to get out of plat, am I missing some essential mechanics or features?

Hello, my username is Feedhardt, and I finished in the Top 300 on the NA server when sorting by both challenger score and rank, finishing in GM2. I am sitting at masters 1 currently after the reset, but a ton of other people who finished gm last season got pushed down to masters with the placements, so I'm not worried lol.

Anyways, if you are interested, please comment your rank/username and a game code along with whatever other info you want to include, and I'll get back to you once I review them!
