McCree

That couldn’t keep McCree lol. “Mc-something” yeah but not the dudes exact last name. Come on now.

Last Names are not Unique. There are countless ppl all over the Planet w/ the Last Name McCree.

Nobody is seriously Idol worshipping some terminated Blizzard employee keeping McCree.

@TREB-21513

Wait… this is clearly named after another real person.

Butch Cassidy.

Who was an armed robber who killed multiple people.

Murder is fine and acceptable.

Well they obviously cared enough to change the name. I don’t like the new name but asking for Mccree to pointless.

Also to help provide a bit of western historical facts to support this discussion, here are deets on Butch Cassidy and Calamity Jane. (From Wikipedia.)

Robert LeRoy Parker (April 13, 1866 – November 7, 1908), better known as Butch Cassidy,[1] was an American train and bank robber and the leader of a gang of criminal outlaws known as the “Wild Bunch” in the Old West.

Parker engaged in criminal activity for more than a decade at the end of the 19th century and the early 20th century, but the pressures of being pursued by law enforcement, notably the Pinkerton detective agency, forced him to flee the country. He fled with his accomplice Harry Alonzo Longabaugh, known as the “Sundance Kid”, and Longabaugh’s girlfriend Etta Place. The trio traveled first to Argentina and then to Bolivia, where Parker and Longabaugh are believed to have been killed in a shootout with the Bolivian Army in November 1908; the exact circumstances of their fate continue to be disputed.

Parker’s life and death have been extensively dramatized in film, television, and literature, and he remains one of the most well-known icons of the “Wild West” mythos in modern times.

Martha Jane Cannary (May 1, 1852 – August 1, 1903), better known as Calamity Jane , was a well-known American frontierswoman, sharpshooter, and raconteur.[1][2][3] In addition to many exploits she was known for being an acquaintance of Wild Bill Hickok. Late in her life, she appeared in Buffalo Bill’s Wild West show and at the 1901 Pan-American Exposition. She is said to have exhibited compassion to others, especially to the sick and needy. This facet of her character contrasted with her daredevil ways and helped to make her a noted frontier figure.[4] She was also known for her habit of wearing men’s attire.[5]

Should have just called him Jack Ripper then

Let’s hope the descendants of the people he murdered don’t have twitter accounts.

[Sylhiri-1495]

Depends who he murdered, lol.

[Mädŀąď-1913]

Unless Butch somehow rises from his grave and sexually torments people, blizzard won’t see any reason to not pick Cole Cassidy.

[Sylhiri-1495]

Hard to tell if he did that when he was alive, didn’t have Twitter back then.

[Turk182-11879]

Good thing its not Cassidy Cole, then he would be an XXX star.

[IIAKs0nII-1108]

@Sylhiri-1495

Change his belt from BAMF to BTK

Perfection Achieved

[LordCulo-1491]

Definitely sounds very…stunning and brave.

[Knighthood-21706]

“That is a terrible name for a cowboy!”

Also why not Joel?
It would have went so well with the Sombra interaction

[NighthAwk-13514]

I’m actually really shocked they didn’t do it. I would have actually bet money on it.

@Kisseys-1344

I guess it’s a play on words with Ashe also. Ash and coal.

Now I have to ask if this was intentional.

[dag-12162]

I was actually completely against the name change, but the name isn’t bad. I’m sure it’ll grow on me more.

I hope the Ash and Coal thing was intentional, it’s pretty clever

Also making his initials “C.C” was… a design choice.
