Let’s see… McCree has the lowest win rate in the game, how do we proceed? Lets nerf the only thing that makes him somewhat decent and fun to play and just delete him from the game. Yeah that is definitely what he needs.
I hope they revert his stun nerf and go through with 250 hp

It’s a revert to his pre goats state, he doesn’t need to contribute to the power creep

Everything is going down. McCree doesn’t get a pass on power creep.

he is still a strong hero when played well, and I believe they are trying to pull back on all the buffs they did to compensate for the power creep enabled from goats. I think it might be time to lower time to kill in the game and allow projectile heroes to have a place as well

What part of worse winrate in the game didn’t you get sigh… He is lower than Sombra ffs.

His damage buff was pointless in the first place. His weakness has always been his big hitbox and how easy he is to dive. Adding more damage to his kit didn’t help him at all because he still dies fast. All it did was make him stronger against the heroes that doesn’t counter him.

do you mean in GM where people play the hero correctly or in all ranks where everybody turbo ints? Honestly, people played mccree before he had m1 storm arrow and now he is going back down with all the other necessary damage reverts.

You can’t just look at winrate like that. He is a popular hero played by many. He is simple and usually the go to champ when you have a carry flank killing your whole team. Usually you switch too late. He used to have an extreme pickrate at GM a year ago before other hitscans got power-crept. He needs a lot of skill to be viable but a lot of mediocre players like to play him.

They buffed him because he sucked. I don’t disagree with what you say after but if they won’t change that at least give him something so that he doesn’t completely suck.

He should never have been able to fire that fast in the first place.
I’ll say it once, I’ll say it again… most of McCree except his left click wants him to be up close… give him a buff that lets him do that. Make it so Combat Roll gives him like… 75 adaptive shielding for 3s or something like that.

Yeah… no. Other heroes are popular and have far better win rates than him. Other heroes are also less popular than him and have better win rates than him, so, no just no.

I agree but if the nerfs go live McCree will be in a weaker state than before he received the fire-rate buffs in the first place when he was largely regarded as trash.
They are reverting his fire-rate buff but are not reverting the nerfs to his flashbang.

Thats because heroes with lower pickrates almost always have higher winrates. Thats like saying old torb and sym were good characters because in high elo they had like 60% winrate over the other popular heroes

It’s a different ballgame. Sustain is lower and so are barriers, other hitscans are being harshly nerfed as well.

But not all of them so the theory is mistaken. As I said there are both higher and lesser popular heroes with much higher win rates so that argument is invalid automatically.

IDK man, with the buff they gave to his Deadeye I’m seeing McCree actually get kills with it these days, he’s not as useless as he used to be. His gun is supposed to be slow but pack a wallop, the problem is that they need to adjust everyone else around him in order to give him that feeling without having to buff him into the stratosphere and make him unfair.
McCree ate too many of those pies from Route 66.

What you see in your games isn’t evidence that he’s good.
He has one of the lowest winrates in the game for a reason.
