Mcree is no longer OP

Let’s face it; It’s over now guys.

Let’s stop pretending he’s still dominating the game. His pickrate is dropping rapidly and has the worst winrate in GM.

I get he was a bit overtuned before, but honestly he’s fine now.

I don’t even understand why people complained about him. His HP buff was needed given his hitbox and role.

The community is full of crybabies.

Mccree feels extremely sluggish to play now eh

I don’t entirely agree, I think people had a reason to complain about him originally. Tho I think the nerfs the devs gave him were fine and I think he’s balanced rn. Not overtuned/undertuned, imo.

Lol. They didn’t even nerf him in the areas where people were saying he was OP.

In the areas where Blizzard said he was OP. Lul. They were legit like, “his hp made him baller, so instead we”… I can’t even remember what they nerfed. But it made me laugh when they did. That much I do know.

Yeah people need to stop wasting their time playing McCree and pick Soldier instead

And if you can’t aim then at least you provided your team with some healing

So…? Does it rlly matter what people complained about. All that matters is that hes fine now.

Eh. Mcree is still good. He has his uses, particularly against flankers. His burst is also better than soldiers (better against armor).

They nerfed his roll distance…

It depends. I still feel flash makes him the best counterpick hero for hitscan mains. I do not think one tricking Soldier is super feasible. You still want to use Widow on Widow maps too.

I’ve been slapping Crees around as Soldier recently. I can not tell you how refreshing that feels.

I can somewhat agree with that . Mccree isn’t OP. I still don’t like him having 225 HP, it feels really cheap to die to a hitscan with an obnoxious amount of HP. I really wish they gave him back old fire rate and took his HP away. I don’t play him often but when I do He feels super sluggish and almost tank like, not like a hitscan DPS. There’s no fluidity. I don’t think he’s fun to play or fight rn. Despite him not being OP anymore.
Just my thoughts tho. At the end of the day I am a Doom OTP and I will always have a teeny bit of bias towards him.

But, he can flash and FTH tho. He’s still very OP /s

I miss that version if him so much. Why they decided to name him after a rapper named after a gangster is anyone’s guess… But man, those were to good old days.

mccree is one of my favorite dps, so im about to pretend like i know what im talking about with him. he doesnt feel OP or underpowered to me (if you trust a bronze) he just feels slower. sure, spamming FTH into a gold orisa feels a little bit worse than before, maybe thats a good thing though

I have to say, reading this thread I’m glad people are starting to realize he’s balanced.

If by balanced, you mean extremely overpowered and hard counters Doomfist, yeah, I agree.

xD In all fairness, doom mains on the forums these days seem a bit more reasonable, it’s nice. Like saturn for example is a pretty reasonable doom main.

The mcree/hanzo combo is still the most infuriating thing in this game atm, as a tank player.

What is their combo? Never heard that one before? Like… High noon and use the dragon to block his glowing body?
