Aim is "rewarded" in FPS games

Seriously why even this is a thing? Why everybody keeps complaining about hitscan heroes being rewarded with aiming? This is an FPS game for god’s sake just learn to adapt and improve

Keep seeing this demanding about McCree’s nerfs on the forums it’s getting ridiculous

People are complaining because they feel he fires too fast. Subsequently, people feel he isn’t punished enough for missing his shots. If anything, the people complaining about Mccree share your viewpoint.

Never thought I can see a more accurate yet funnier description, but here we are.

The punishment for missing is missing.

(and most likely death)

But it’s not much of a punishment if 0.42 seconds later you can just fire another shot.

Mcree is way to OP at the moment , it requires zero aim now. If you hit with the first shot, you can just spam cus of the speed.
Before he got buffed, it was called skill. Cus then you actually needed to aim after you shot your first shot.

Better hit that one then. And then probably another one because you can’t 1-shot.

Oops, in that time Widow killed you because she didn’t miss.

GG, download Kovaak’s and go again.

If anything they would revert the firerate he should have that extra 50hp but it didn’t went live I like McCree as the way he is now

Cry me a river, Sym gets reworked into no longer have a lock-on beam and people still say she requires no aim and does too much damage.

76’s gun feels so bad and makes me crave my old Zhalo Supercell every time I use it. Bap feels like a block of wood too. This might be a fps, but it’s one that’s aging, badly.
But you know I’ll still eff wit it ;-;

This isn’t a difficult concept people. You need to aim better than the enemy is aiming or you lose.

I like McCree, I think he’s fine, but people are still welcome to say that he’s overpowered.

I like Widow, I’m bad at Widow, but I still think her (and Hanzo/Doom) ability to one shot is game breaking in an objective based 6v6 game where a single pick is such an insane advantage. Just cos something is supposedly hard to do doesn’t mean that X mechanic belongs in the game or that it’s some sort of war on “skill”. It’s not just an FPS, and having one character arbitrarily more powerful than other just cos they’re supposedly harder/etc is still bad game design.

Regardless, I don’t think McCree’s issue. He’s the top Damage pick for GM/Masters/Diamond/Plat but his winrate is in the bottom… third/quarter?

Map awareness. Having a faster reaction. Predicted enemy movement. Their all reward in fps. Better position as well. You can have best aim but still loss Becuse you’re reaction time sucks.

My relationship with Widow is love/hate her one-shot potential along with mobility is unhealthy nonetheless I’m actually a Widow main but that does not I’m biased about it

well McCree is as much fan the hammer as aim :stuck_out_tongue:

now widow maker she get all the hate lol

Widow actually takes skill don’t get me wrong

Who’s complian about hit scan begin reward for aim. The only time I see this brought is Widowmaker and it’s not because she a hit scan. People hate one shoots in the game. Mcree people hate his flash fan. Nobody mad at solider 76 for begin reward for aim same with Ashe.
