I think just the way McCree is designed, people who have exceptional aim (aka pros) will always make him a bit OP compared with his performance in normal play. If you balance him for competitive in mind then he becomes too weak in the hands of normal players. If you balance him for normal play then he becomes a bit too good in competitive.

Why would these pros with exceptional aim need a low cool down button that makes people stop moving? The fan roll fan combo poo poo out insane amounts of damage. Seriously all they need to do to mcree is just make the full stun area smaller to reward aim and give us a way to counter it like say looking away from the flash bang. Right now it's either a free kill button or a get out of jail free button. all of this makes mcree a low risk high reward character. There should be some counterplay to it not just flashbang = dead nontank. I mean sure flash my face you got me, but if the drat thing bounces off my back the stun should be minimal at worst.

Cross-posting from the last thread: is ranked mode not in for release? I was under the impression it was set considering it was a disabled option in previous betas.

Words of Wisdom:


* McCree's flashbang has a 10 second cooldown.
* Fan the Hammer is a terrible way to kill people. Don't rely on it.
* There are numerous ways for Hanzo to know where your team is:

1. Sonic Arrow
2. Hit markers on his team mates.
3. The objective moving/being contests (like that would ever happen)

When he fires his stupidly loud, incredibly telegraphed ultimate it's going to be at your team. If you die to it, you're bad, he doesn't need to be nerfed.

* Neither does Bastion.
* Winston counters Genji, Tracer and Widowmaker. All have a hard time getting away from him, are squishy, and none of their defences work against him.
* Switch loving characters if you're getting wrecked.
* If you hear French, the enemy can see you.
* Don't Gaze into the Iris, you can't do poo poo against it, regroup and wait for it to end before pushing.
* The Payload doesn't stop moving unless you stand next to it.
* The Payload doesn't move unless you stand next to it.
* Points don't get captured unless you stand in them
* Stand on the loving objective.


I work until 9 PM tonight, but luckily because overwatch doesn't have an archaic leveling system and as a result i won't be over run by my 5 hour lag into the game!

I'll have to settle for everyone having doper tags than me... :smith:

McCree and possibly Soldier 76 and Reaper are part robocop. Though Reaper seems more likely to be kept alive by BLACK METAL MAGIC than cybernetic implants.

Communism will help more white people than anyone else. Any equal measures unfairly provide less to minority populations just because there's less of them. Democracy is truly the tyranny of the mob.

I think Zarya is the only person who doesn't have some form of cybernetic enhancement because she's a super Robo-bigot and hates all robots.

I guess her suit may count since it's doubtful she'd be able to lift her weapon properly without it.

She's the world's strongest woman, but the gun is heavy even to her. Her Deadlift pose is her struggling to lift it. I doubt even she'd be able to keep it operational without some form of assistance, probably from her suit which is definitely linked to the gun.

e: Likewise, the only person who has anything approaching the kind of hardware Zarya carries around is Winston, and he's a literal gorilla so that's nothing to him.
