So i feel like he could use sometthing more inestead of competing for “hitscan of the month” (cuz with widow existing, he will NEVER, win unless you make him literally shoot 50 bullets per second) nerf his firerate and:
A old suggestion i had was to replace fan the hammer (kinda iffy on it) cuz its kind of a Ehh ability with very little good usage, and it also cant be buffed because it becomes oppresive
My first idea was to give him an “ammo switch” ability that gives him new ammo types to use
anti armor rounds, bouncing rounds, sniper rounds, slowdown rounds, were some ideas i threw arround, maybe a anti-healing round, or something
Another idea i had was add a secondary effect to flashbang that everyone flashed was “crippled” (disabling mobility abilities) for a few secs, or had a debuff that makes them take more damage,
Or the ability to throw the grenade further if you hold it for a sec or two for a different effect
Another idea was for roll to be reset on kill, or make it give i-frames, or just make it move you more, or give you a speed buff after using it
So yeah, i dont think he needs to be changed cuz he is meta, i just thing his kit makes him a badly designed one trick pony
Those all sound pretty cool. I wish they would add depth to his kit. Because low key? The better you are at McCree, the less you use your abilities. You learn that flash is better as a deterrent. Fan is useless against anything but barriers but you need to roll to reload cancel if the barrier goes down. Roll is best saved for a reload than anything else. His Ult… Same.
You just pew pew pew. Hence why different ammo types would be pretty sick.
Kinda like ashe ya know? I feel its a good design to strive for
Ashe trades a OP gun (like widow) for intresting utility like a DoT ability and a CC, and a good ultimate
I feel like mc could get the same
I just had another idea…what about a disorientation debuff on flash as well? Inverses controls or something
Imagine trying to aim with all your inputs including mouse inverted
Or imagine if his ult was actually a forced duel, where you target somebody and bring them somewhere else where they are forced into a 1v1 with you that would totally fit
Which could be used both offensively and defensively, either pick off a support or maybe they pop something like dragonblade and you force duel the genji just to stall him
Literally everytime support players point out that Ana has no competition cuz everybody that actually manages to take spotlight off her gets unecesarily butchered it’s the dps mains that screech and scream about her being the only skillful healer so it’s ok.
As for Rein, was it tank mains that got his rivals Sigma and Orisa nerfed into oblivion? I doubt it
its really a select group of skill elitists regardless of rule that obsess over what they belive to be skill or no skill,
and in fact, whathever is meta, becomes no skill to this group of people, thats why whathever is meta gets slegehammered except for a select few, but even then, after a while, even they, get tired
The best part is McCree has always been picked quite a lot for how below-average he’s been. Just because people like to play him. Now that he happens to be the most picked DPS, people target him just because of that and ignore any other factors.
ive always hated the moronic argument of “pick rate tho” unless youre being picked at 16.66% (which means you are literally in 100% of games on both teams and would push your winrate down due to how wins and losses are measured in overwatch) winrate is the only real metric that matters.
who cares if you get picked 10% of the time if you lose 60% of the time?
who cares if youre doing 70k damage a match if you cant hold a 50% winrate?
its trivial things people who have no actual understanding of, nor respect for the numbers use to push agendas to act as if their arguments are based in numbers and facts rather than bias.
its an attempt to disguise bias as looking at the numbers
Considering this is only the second Experimental Card we’ve had, and nothing from it has been pushed live I’m kind of tired of people claiming that so and so as gotten anything until it hits actual PTR. We have ZERO indication that any of the Experimental Stuff will ever see the light of day.
When I posted this originally, the Soldier buff was on the PTR and the experimental card hadn’t even come up yet. It’s actually still on the PTR as far as I know.
It kind of was. Tanks posted daily about not being able to play anything but Orisa/Sigma. Do not get me wrong, plenty of dps complained about double barrier too, myself included. I think supports did too. That meta was freaking awful. It made goats seem compelling.
That being said, I do not see many tank mains complaining about being forced onto Rein 24/7… Again. There are a few here or there. My point is… Tanks have their biases too. Rein is more fun to them than Orisa by a landslide. Who is crying about the Orisa ban? There might have been like one thread. Nobody cares.
Are you trolling or why do you say the most picked DPS is underperforming. Youre so ignorant while others try as best as they can to make some sense for you. Holy sh*t this forum is full of brainlets, its insulting.
Stop trolling
Do you even understand how it works? As more people play cree, which is almost always in each team on GM, the winrate will more and more move towards 50% because one team has to win or draw eventually. You cant have a 100% pickrate with a negative winrate.
Now having a positive winrate with such a high pickrate indicates that everytime you dont pick him, you lose.
