McCree roll in CTF

General Discussion
1

Why is McCree is allowed to use his roll while carrying the flag but other heros can’t use their mobility?. I don’t mind, i’m just curious.

2

Pharah can fly, so McCree has to do something

3

that can be a very deep rabbit hole my friend.
Neither should be able to do anything. this was a big debait with lucio a few years back too.

It’s inconsistent, genji shouldn’t be able to double jump or climb walls either but he can, Mcree can roll, pharah can fly however if hanzo uses lunge, he drops the flag.

Flying doesn’t increase her horizontal ( forward ) movement speed. Just her vertical.

I’m imagining both characters auditioning for Overwatch.

“Well, not only can I tot a rocket launcher, I can fly.”
“Oh, very impressive, Pharah.”
McCree, not to be outdone, steps up.
“Yeah, well, check this out.”
He rolls forward and everyone just stares at him in silence.

Both are passive abilities.

Active ability

Active movement abilities drop the flag, passives don’t. What’s so inconsistent abou that? It would only make sence if roll dropped the flag.

I mean lucios wall ride is a passive but he drops the flag if he does it.

I’ve never played OW’s CTF. Can Lucio wallride with the flag?

Edit: oh.

Mcree’s roll is not passive what you on about? Also lucio’s passive like mentioned above, drops the flag.

Roll is such a pathetic mobility skill not even the devs acknowledge it’s one

How exactly did you come to the conclusion that i consider roll a passive?

Also, i was pretty sure that wall ride only dropped the flag when speed boost got used. Anyway, lucio being an exception makes sence because he’s probably the fastest hero in the game without using any abilities. Only thing i that can catch up to him is ball at full speed.

I didn’t even know he could do it. Seems like an oversight but it’s such minor movement anyways it barely matters imo

14

Yeah I feel like they should give roll 2 charges to use, much like a junk’s mine.

15

He is already a must pick there (not that its a bad thing) imagine if they didn’t change the thing so that he drops the flag lol

all high mobility abilities basically make you drop it.

Its great with lucio. You get to use roll + his speed increase so you cap the flag really fast.

He can use his Combat Roll with the flag!? At this point let Wrecking Ball use his Grappling Claw with the flag, sheesh…
