I’ve started playing Pharah again but kinda having trouble diving mcree with his new fire rate and also most of vids are old
Any tips or advice?
Yeah don’t dive him, peek him where he is.
As a Pharah player I take advantage that my spam will overcome his lack of mobility.
McCree doesn’t have the drawback of scoping like widow so don’t attack him like widow.
As a McCree player I welcome a pharah trying to dive me close up.
Definitely think your playstyle of Pharah is wrong. She sucks at diving and was never good at it. Maybe your thought process comes from being able to hit rockets easier from a closer distance, but remember that it’s easier for the enemy to hit you as well.
Instead, Pharah is a consistent damage ranged dps. You should be playing around rooftops and near the maximum height possible, peeking to fire shots then going back behind cover. Using this strategy, the only way you die is if you get one shot.
The only time you should be full diving is if you have your ultimate, which you should be charging extremely fast if playing with a Mercy. Playing around corners and landing consistent rockets will also get you barrage if you don’t have Mercy.
Pharah’s greatest strengths are map geometry and her zero falloff damage. Play around them. Stop trying to fight McCrees, and instead focus on farming for ultimate, which is team fight winning. You should never be diving him unless with ult, in which case he is your first target. If you want to pick a fight with McCree through dives, I’d recommend Doomfist instead.
Yeah direct hits are easier to land since splash damage does nothing and I use concussion blast to basically engage with hitscan
Only time having success is when ambushing him but that’s another tale
Pharah v mccree isn’t really a fight you want to take head-on if you can avoid it. He’s got the advantage at any range. Ambushing is your best bet, either through using your abilies to suddenly get on top of him or by dropping on his head the way you would if you wanted to barrage.
I actully use concussion blast to dive him but if I fail one direct rocket then I’m ded
