How to make Pharmercy less cancerous?

[Kn0wledge-11243]

Increase the speed at which McCree’s high noon charges to max damage.

Easy fix

[ThiccBuddha-1468]

That might have the unintended consequence of making his ultimate useful for something other than a free reload and that is dangerous territory, my friend.

High precision aiming skill

Pharmercy isn’t too good and mcree can already counter with just left clicks and or flashbang tho

[Akaras-1659]

Of course this is just the PTR so all of this is subject to change

@TomPowers

Several heroes have received major changes to their damage falloff:

Bastion

• Configuration: Sentry and Configuration: Recon - Minimum damage at max range increased from 30% to 50%.

McCree

• Peacekeeper - Minimum damage at max range increased from 30% to 50%

Mei

• Endothermic Blaster - Removed all damage falloff from her secondary fire projectile

Soldier: 76

• Heavy Pulse Rifle - Minimum damage at max range increased from 30% to 50%

Widowmaker

• Widow’s Kiss - Now has damage falloff applied on her automatic primary fire (50% at max range)

Developer Comments: The goal of these changes is to slightly reduce the impact of damage falloff on mid-range weapons. While assessing falloff mechanics across the board, weapons intended primarily for close-range combat benefited too greatly from lowering their falloff restrictions. We also normalized a couple of outliers in that Mei had a long-range travel time projectile with falloff applied and Widowmaker’s automatic fire did not have any.

Pharmercy wing clippers now

… Flashbang? On Pharmercy?..

No lol

You can’t say McCree counters a Pharmercy considering Mercy’s self-healing passive, a healing and damage boosted Pharah, and a primary fire with fall off damage.

[Ductvader-1261]

This.

Mcree flash bangs both and then no healing and no damage. It’s easy

[Kn0wledge-11243]

… how do you Flashbang a flying duo let alone one that is far away from you?

[Crash-12278]

Hm for console this could work

Remember when pharah was almost destroyed

During the early stages of OW, pharah received a big nerf in which her rockets on a direct hit went down to 80, and any dmg from hitscan depleted all her fuel. I believe this was on ptr but was never available to test, but that would’ve been scary (or I imagined all of this and saw it in a theory post)

and maybe nerf mercy healing/damage boost
or on console increase GA to 4 seconds

[Patroclus-21714]

They already did

By getting closer like using the highground and throwing up, what you don’t understand yet is that mcree has a roll

[Alhaitham-21203]

At what SR can you just walk up to a pharamercy and flashbang them ?

[Hooligan-11896]

Your own Pharah + Mercy, but with discord almost always on the enemy Pharah. A damage boosted direct rocket hit on a discorded target is an insta kill.

[Kn0wledge-11243]

… Do you know how far flashbang goes?..

Also, what makes you think I am going to flank with one of the most immobile heroes in the game while the Pharmercy is in the enemy backline?

[Tabbulus-1451]

One hero does not counter a synergistic pair. It takes two ppl to counter effectively.

[IzoQuartz-2611]

I can’t believe there’s actually people here defending pharmercy…

If you’re going to defend pharmercy at least have a good argument for it not just “BuT mCrEe CaN FlAsHbAng ThEm!!1!”…seriously it’s like they’re purposefully making themselves look bad…

[Eponymous-11697]

Flash is almost 10 meters but mcree also has roll for basically tracer level mobility

[JellyandJam-1179]

Well you see, there’s something called the butterfly effect😂

[Eponymous-11697]

always the hunter never the gun. If you can’t flashbang then that’s on YOU, not the characters.
