Mcree might possibly be the perfectly balanced hero in all of Overwatch. Tough call between mcree & ana they are both just perfection.
McCree and Ana are among the most popular heroes in Overwatch, because they’re cool.

Are you implying that there is no reason why commonly picked heroes are commonly picked? That it’s all just random, and the hero’s capability has nothing to do with pick rate? No, friend. There’s a reason certain heroes are picked often, and balancing has everything to do with it. Balancing changes are intended by the dev team to constantly change the meta so as to keep the game dynamic and not stale, and they do change the meta. By making certain heroes more powerful under common (meta) circumstances, and others weaker. It’s why Orisa has been gimped to the ground, and why Bastion barely exists any more - because at one point they were deemed by blizzard to be too powerful and unfun to face. But oddly enough some heroes are well known to be too powerful and unfun to face, but they remain untouched. I guess it’s because of blizzard’s agenda of making the game accessible to people “of any playstyle” (whatever thst means) as advertised.

You know what really defines the meta now? Tank picks. As soon as they make other main tanks besides Reinhardt more viable, DPS and support often switch around anyway.

Not in the slightest
I’m implying that commonly picked heroes aren’t always over powered- and that the two concepts are at the end of the day, different.
Guess what, pal, I agree.
But the answer isn’t always “because overpowered”
Have magical day friend
Honestly i don’t find overwatch to be a particularly good deathmatch game for many reasons. I only use it to warm up.
I dont even use it to warmup.
Its cheesy to me.
Aim? aim trainer custom games
Warmup my gamesense, awarness? I mean Deathmatch wasnt going to help with that in first 
I once got 1st place with genji only use dash, no deflect no shurikens.
nothing XD
In mccrees case I’d say he is definitely overpowered. His entire kits balancing has been funnelled into being as obnoxiously offensive as possible. The devs knew he needed buffs, but completely ignored the problems with his kit for MONTHS after giving him his stupid fire rate. And the moment they renege on it, the scummy mccree community came out screaming because their precious dps potential was touched.
You can’t have the best of both worlds kids.
You can’t be thiccree and have that fire rate at the same time.
He never should have got it in the first place, a character that has a stupidly easy one shot set up, and an option to kill afterwards without needing any mechanical skill whatsoever, shouldn’t be a monster at range too.

You know a DPS hero is broken when the plat forums think their ez kill combos are ‘perfectly balanced’ lol. Way easier to flashbang+double headshot than actually aim.
It was the same with Brigitte, Widowmaker, Hanzo, and Doomfist when they were clearly broken.
Its the same with Reinhardt too.

who cries? low gold? c’mon, lets listen to playerbase who has no clue what they need at first place instead of complaining about everything around. Good offence is a better defence, still requires more skill to succeed than half of the broken roster.

To be fair - tanks are only as good as what they are needed to go against and since burst/cc is so good shields have been 100% of the metas since they brought all that crap in to kill dive. The DPS do need reigning in so they stop making themselves a liability and stop making tank play the deciding factor of games since blocking instant death is the most important element of the game - it’s a linked problem.

IDK, dude. It’s probably because I’m playing in Gold, but most of the time I’m just wanting my McCree to go Reaper so stuff actually dies.

Worth noting this isn’t that different from what it looked like before his fire rate buff. even when he wasn’t meta, had one of the lowest wr in the game, and hadn’t seen any real pro play since before OWL was established.
Basically he’s always dominated DM. It’s the best possible scenario for him. It’s like complaining about Lucio in ctf. Game isn’t balanced around dm. DM picks are usually some combo of mccree, reaper, Doom, Genji and Tracer and Hog - regardless of their present meta viability and even when other meta dps are viable. And of those picks McCree has always been top of the pile. It’s a pretty weak argument is all I’m saying. If you want to argue he’s op do it on his performance in high tiers and league where he is meta for the first time in many years, not on dm where he’s always been a top pick even when he was in the dumpster.

I don’t remember people saying McCree needed more survivability. In fact, the complaints about the PTR change, at least in this forum, were that no one had asked for 250 hp on McCree because he didn’t need it, and people preferred to keep the faster fire rate with 200 hp.
If anything, the most usual complaints I’ve read about McCree is that his kit pales in comparison to Soldier’s and that he has nothing going for him except his left click, suggesting it’s the reason he’s been low tier for a long time and that he needs a rework. If my memory serves, the fire rate buff was also poorly received at the beginning because it didn’t address his core problems.

he just need the fire rate reverted nothing else. NO COMPENSATION BUFF
OR ANYTHING. If he is low in suitability that’s his character design.
I thought that impactful heroes are supposed to be “high skill”? So why “fan the hammer”?
