I’d rather face 1000 McCrees before I get one-shot by some guy randomly firing into the choke. Or get storm arrowed to death. McCree’s flash has a very short range and there is counter-play there. Hanzo is a cancerous hero where McCree feels a lot more healthy for the game. So please before you start asking for McCree nerfs, consider the fallout…

I think McCree is in a similar situation to Rein.
Less boring/annoying than the other non-Dive alternatives.
People generally feel good playing as McCree, against McCree, and watching OWL players on McCree.

The problem with McCree being meta is it gets rid of a lot of other heroes being viable.
Like if McCree’s viable, you can say goodbye to Hammond/Tracer/Reaper/Pharah and the list goes on. Having a CC hero be meta isn’t exactly healthy. Same goes for Mei.

Do not put Mei in the same category as McCree. He cannot spam his CC. Chill with your lazy categorization, sir.

The reality of any hero being meta, is that it gets rid of a lot of other heroes being high tier.

Mei shuts down an entire role + Invalidates several DPS heroes
and you compare McCree, who skill-counters perhaps just Pharah to Mei

McCree feels like a sniper. Annoying to face especially his right click plus stun on tanks.

Lol it’s not McCree keeping things out play it’s Mei
mccree’s damage falloff is so bad, but hanzos arrows are so slow now
how about neither?
Id rather face soldier, ashe, or someone else who is not capable of handicapping me the first second he sees me.
To be fair, if that is all you looked at, he needs more than nerfed. He needs to be gutted.
He can’t but he can spam damage out. Which is something Mei can’t do.
As long as Hanzo can one shot, Cree will need a hell of a lot more to be better than him.

I wish I could have gone back to 2015 and told the developers than adding TF2 Marksman to Overwatch would be a bad idea because that class was never meant to be played seriously. Instakill projectiles have and will always be a terrible concept because of the RNG factor
I wholeheartedly agree, although I may be biased. I prefer going vs. McCree any day. At least I know he had to aim at me to kill me. With Hanzo he can just shoot arrows down a lane and kill someone he didn’t even know was nearby
Yes mcree feels more healthy than hanzo pre nerfs. But this thing dont justify that mcrree right now is the best dps.
And we have two ways, buff all dps to the lvl of mcree or just nerf mcreee.
I never understood why some people dislike McCree so much though. His primary is a non one-shot hitscan that takes a good amount of skill to use. He has a glaring weakness in his lack of mobility. And his one form of defense (stun) has very shot range and can be played around. McCree was always a well designed dps to me. I’m happy for people who main him getting to have their hero be meta. Good for them and I think it’s good for the game.

Of course McCree is better than Hanzo. Also McCree is better than Mei, Reaper, Pharah, Tracer, Ashe, Soldier, Doomfist, Junkrat, Genji, Torbjorn, Bastion, Symmetra and Sombra.
Because they overbuffed him that much so you can’t find Overwatch match and do not see McCree. He is everywhere. Always. With all those changes Overwatch team really need to change “face” of this game from Tracer to McCree.
