He’s just a dude. He’s even more plain than soldier. All he has is his gun.
His nade sucks. Only tracer is bothered by it, if she doesn’t just one clip McCree before he uses it. Even Genji mostly shrugs it off or deflects it since it’s so dang slow and deals no damage. Lucio is maybe the only decent, reliable target for it. Otherwise, better to not use it and just keep shooting.
His ultimate? Again, waste of time. Way more kill potential if you just use it as a reload and keep shooting your gun normally.
His roll? Clunky, short, a reload button that dispositions you. Awful.
His fan the hammer? Poor damage and even poorer range.
I don’t think there’s ever been a hero with a more redundant roster of abilities than the current McCree.
You could play him 99.99% just as effectively even if you never used any abilities at all.
I mean, McCree quite literally isn’t a hero in OW anymore.
…Sorry for the obvious joke.
His ult definitely needs help. It’s iconic, so preserving some of it (especially the voiceline) is important, but it’s lagging behind in current-day OW.
But i will say, hinder is real rough on Doomfist. Totally shuts me down. Basically insta hacks doom, cant punch cant slam. Tough times for poor doomfist.
A well timed hinder nade basically screws over most dive heroes, basically cuts off your escape plan. dead in the water.
Oh yeah, doom is an okay target, but as a McCree, even he feels pointless to target. He’s so fast it often misses, and if he’s shielding or doing something else than wanting to move, it’s a waste of time. You should have just kept using your normal gun for more impact.
On paper it sounds like this. In game, in plat? Most heroes never even notice it and it barely ever gets a kill.
It really, really isn’t.
When all the stars align, it can do amazing things. But like I said, 99.99% of the time you might as well not use it and do just as well.
What? Doomfist is hella squishy. If he’s power blocking, its still cool to shoot him. Oh he gets an empowered fist? cool good for him, he’s gonna punch us at half health, have no escape plan and then fall over instantly, he HAS to use that empowered punch to escape or die. thats it.
Pressure doom my dude, its his main weakness.
Nah its great for anti-dive. They go in, hinder nade, now they cant blink out, they cant translocate out, cant double jump, can’t fly, can’t jump, can’t punch, dead in teh water int eh middle of your team.
A cass playing near his supports basically makes it a super bad call to try and dive those supports.
It’s fine being not that great and situational. We don’t need more q to win ults. They should just lean more heavily into his anti flanker role with a lasso, bolas or something
