The change Blizzard made a while back that didn’t go through that made McCree have more hp, would it be enough now? If no other changes were made, and he was given 250 hp, do you think he would be usable?

With just 250 hp? I don’t think so, but itd be a great start.

You’d want him to have more than that? Bruh, you gotta work on your positioning

I mean in this context I assumed me meant more “is that the only change?” rather than “is that all the HP you will give him?”, but either way I am unsure if it would accomplish the stated goal of making McCree more viable.
HP changes to heroes are weird in that I think we have only one of them and that was to Zen and that one also came at the same time of a big Widow nerf so it was hard to gauge the true impact of that change. I assume a change like that would amount to a massive buff, similar to how I think while Orisa is the worst tank in the game by far right now, with an extra 100 armor she might be pretty good again without being a problem hero.

So let me get this straight.
McCree players complained about 250hp McCree because of the firerate nerf. Blizz didn’t put it through. But now they’ve given him the firerate nerf without the health buff and now suddenly the health buff is a good idea?
It’s hypocritical and honestly desperate.

We didn’t say 250 was bad, we said it wasn’t enough compensation for what they were doing.
Mid range heroes shouldn’t have 250 HP
If anything just rework his ult or shrink his hitbox
I am okay with the idea of 250 hp on mccree because I think he needs to be tuned to be a brawly hitscan. They can’t just treat him like a mid range character, if they do that he will never ever compare to ashe.
Zenyatta, Torb, Brigitte, and orisa are the only 4 heroes to ever receive an hp change.
Didn’t D.va have one?

Give him 250 hp, a second life and allow him to roll up walls and he will be viable.
Or we can nerf the other hitscans and see where he lands.

Finally, he can kill Ashe
WOOOAH you’re right that takes me way back. Yeah d.va went from 100 health 400 armor to 200 armor 400 health. Which, if you think about it, doesnt it make more sense for her to have that much armor? I mean her only real defense is a mech. How is 200 of it hp if she only has 150 hp when she comes out? Blizzard needs to explain themselves.
Either he needs buffs, or ashe needs to be nerfed to be much, MUCH worse in close quarters combat.
The problem with 250 HP is almost every 250 HP has a severe range drop off. Doomfist and Reaper both have very low range, and Mei/Torb have projectiles that are harder to aim at a distance. The issue I see is McCree is a hitscan who still has high poke potential.

I mean yeah, that is true, and tbh I’d rather try reducing his hitbox size first. Mccree is huge lol.
Or his ult. A DPS ultimate at the highest level of play shouldn’t be a reload, or at best a zoning tool

I don’t think 250hp is the right thing for mcree because he’s mid range and as a general rule they shouldn’t really have that much hp.
Also mcree potentially being 250 but not brig doesn’t sit right with me
