Cree. In. Every. Single. Game

I’ve been doin’ an experiment just to see every single game I’ve played, until he gets nerfed, how many games cree is in…

Going against / having the same character on my team… EVERY. SINGLE. GAME.

Really fun experience btw.

McCree is a very well designed hero unlike DF.

Also if you share your replay codes I would be happy to help you out

McCree is my 2nd most played hero, under the best punchyboi, and it’s literally only out of necessity. He’s useful in literally every comp.

This is not real, you are a social experiment.

Now we should collect data on how often McCree nerf threads pop up

Its not that McCree is op

its just that every other DPS is awful, there are like, 3 playable DPS right now.

Tracer, if u have a Ball and a Zen
Echo, if you have a Mercy and they dont have double hitscan
McCree, doesnt need anything, but doesnt have the same potential as Tracer or Echo

Yep. I made a thread about the same restrictive hero pool earlier last week.

There’s almost 20 dps heroes, but you will only see Mccree, Widow, Hanzo, Ashe, and Soldier every game. Doesn’t matter your comp nor the enemy comp. You will see a variation of 2 of those 5.

I think that the damage and heals in the game should go down, it would lead to more comps being viable.

Just to be explicitly clear, his hp is the only thing that gives him any sort of edge over ashe besides a dinky little flashbang that can easily be baited on a 10 second cooldown.

Its also really funny to me how people think nerfing his 25 hp will just make him go away?? Even when mccree was trash he was a popular pick.

Damage has already been greatly reduced from the goats era, devs themselves admitted to Power-Scaling them

Pick Ash, 76, or Widow and pop his 0 mobility head from a distance …

To be good above plat he needs 24/7 babysitting to not just roll over as he has no escape tools

Why dose every one say: All the dps are bad exept x? If they were to buff the others to compete with them, you would complain about damn power creep.

Before he got all these buffs he was either mid tier or straight up garbage for pick rates.

Let’s take this into consideration. This is how you play against cree…

  1. You get in close and get flashed + fanned. Dead.
  2. You play the mid-range game and get 2 tapped. Dead.
  3. You play THE 2 LONG RANGE HITSCAN to counter him… ashe and widow. Cree dead.

That is stupid.

Ah yes gotta love it.

The only counter to the hitscan… is other hitscan. Fantastic design.

That is an explicit problem with hitscan as a whole, not just mccree.

I can’t help but see the gold earrings on your icon as eyes, and it’s f___ing creepy

I mean most of the other hitscans don’t have this issue.

Ashe and widow you can dive and not get stunned and instantly killed for free.

They can escape whatever you’re doing sure, but at least you’re… ALIVE.

At this point cree is just straight up better. There’s a reason he is simply played SOOO much more than ashe and widow. If it was clearly as easy as going ashe and widow… cree wouldn’t be an issue now would he?

They just need to flat out nerf supports, Genji and Doom cant be played because of Brig, Mei becomes a joke against characters like Baptiste and Moira, and you’ll never see a torb because his turret does pathetic damage compared to the amount of raw healing possible.

this goes especially for characters like Genji, who were designed for a time where Mercy/Lucio was the strongest healing comp you could have.
