Alright he might be cancerous, and easy to use, and incredibly frustrating to play against
But after facing some even more frustrating and even more cancerous Genji and Tracer players, I realized that McCree is counter cancer that is absolutely needed.
The only way to stop a good le weeaboo sword man and le run fast girl is literally a McCree. And once you stop blindly going around corners and getting baited into small rooms where he can easily flash bang you, you realize that McCree is complete cannon fodder for a Solider or Pharah at decent range.
>just now realizing overcuck is about counterpicks and not playing well
Wyatt Rogers
Woah there
Oliver Perez
Well make it so his burst can't take down 70% of the cast then if he's supposed to be a hard counter to the glass cannons
Juan Wright
>thinking that Mccree can counter Genji Mccree is is predicable as fuck and Genji can reflect the flashbang making Mcree practically worthless
Jason Gray
I worded that badly, it should have been about counterpicks instead of playing well
Juan Murphy
His "Hide in room and E fags to death" shit is just the skill floor of his bullshit. What other flanking fag can burst down tanks in 2 seconds? Only Reaper comes close but he requires just the slightest bit of extra skill to do it and live. He makes playing any other damage role completely redundant besides genji and pharah.
Jaxon Carter
the problem with mccree is that he is too easy to play
genji and tracer takes actual skill, thats what makes him bullshit
Joseph Diaz
mccree will probably still shit on squishies but the fact that he can kill even the highest health tank in the game with 1 combo is just retarded
Logan Fisher
>The only way to stop a good le weeaboo sword man and le run fast girl >ctrl+f >mei >0 results
Mei is the best counter to genji in the game, and she is a very strong pick against tracer
Thomas Nguyen
isnt the damage getting nerfed
Julian White
>mei >any beam-based caracter >torbjojrn
ay of these counter le sword man, and torb can counter a tracer easily as well. shotgun can tw-shot her, sentry can shoot her no matter how dodgy she plays, and if she uses her ult to kill the turret, torb can just rebuild it.
mccree's stun should just slow people and disable escape skills like in SMITE.
Charles Evans
Hol' up.
James Russell
I've never actually heard anyone complain about reaper being strong
even if you walk around a corner straight into his ult there are several counters
Jaxon Evans
>jump around like a mad man at medium while raping her with ninja stars
great counter friend
Julian Morales
>reflect the flashbang The one he just threw at the ground that still hit you? He doesn't need to throw it anywhere near you to get the stun off
It's like the people who say genji is a bastion counter because he instakills bastion in turret mode with reflect if bastion shoots, he's not a great counter, the genji is just fighting retarded bastions
Evan Campbell
Exactly, you can actually stop him from killing you because you actually have the physical ability to turn around and shoot him unlike E me McCree.
I only brought him up because he's the next best besides McE at bursting tanks.
Charles Rodriguez
>her hose is easy as fuck to aim >follow your movement slightly and she keeps slowing you, eventually freezing you >free headshot
or
>youre slightly out of range >she uses her secondary fire that can 3 shot you >if you try to reflect it, she can easily just wait until your reflect wears off then keep shooting
Daniel Bennett
Probably only just a bit so Tanks don't get one-shot from max HP.
it will still wreck non-tanks.
Zachary Gomez
only shit genji's rely only on reflect Good ones are also jumping around like a spastic monkey on cocaine, making mccree and Turret bastion as close range miss
John Carter
most likely, I think a single fan the hammer does 420 damage so they have lots of room to reduce the damage

Camden Lopez
>Jump around like a madman Once? Maybe twice?
Then you're frozen and dead from one headshot
Unless you sit far back and never go near the team, in which case you might as well just pick soldier 76 because you're doing the same thing that he would do
I don't even need to kill a genji to make him useless. Just my presence as mei makes him never want to go near the team, which is making him worthless

Plus if you're at the right distance or if you hit a wall Genji can still get stunned through the deflect

This is all of your posts, just stop, just stop posting and end your miserable life.
Ryan Morales
>Tfw the characters I play the most are Junkrat, whom I recently began using and realized how fun he is, plus I had the Jester skin for him so might as well get some use from him, Zenyatta, whom I wouldn't have used if it wasn't for getting the Sunyatta skin, which is absolutely gorgeous, and Reinhardt, whose design I just simply love
Luis Edwards
Except that hes not the only counter to them?
Winston is a hard counter to Genji, and has a great chance against tracer, especially if they are shit at watching their skill cooldown.
Tracer/genji can be countered by junkrat, winston, mei, roadhog, etc. They can be taken taken out by anyone if you aim and shoot.
Andrew Cruz
Actually the developers only want to nerf his tank killing ability. His role as countering everything around 200HP in close combat won't change. The only problem with him is he can combo kill anyone 1v1 right now.
Isaac James
What is the top right trash from? I know it's bastion, but is that a toy of bastion or something else?
Ian Lewis
>Hero looks in your general direction and makes you useless >N-No I'm just so good that it'll never happen
I bet you think widowmaker isn't a counter to zenyatta or torbjorn
Liam Turner
Muh counters
Just shoot the other guy in the head jesus christ
Grayson Ortiz
You're still doing it, you literally can't stop doing it. I'm laughing at all of your posts and some /r/ cringe fag is probably uploading them.

Eli Phillips
it's a Tau mech suit from 40k, though im not familiar with the tau army at all so I dont know what the name of it is.
Logan Nelson
So getting one shot by a widowmaker body shot is a 720 spin upside down in real life and headshots your piece of shit using their shoes, which kills you instantly by the way, using a controller that isn't even plugged in while your piece of shit stands there like a dumb fuck who didn't even realize they launched the game?
There's nothing special about it, it's just pointing and clicking

Nathan Sullivan
Both of you are faggots, and yes Widowmaker is broken.
Noah Moore
Can someone explain to me how Mccree counters Genji or Tracer?
Genji has a double jump making it near impossible for a Mccree to land stun and keep up with him. Genji also has his E to reflect if the McCree is dumb enough to try and directly hit him with nade. Genji also has his shift to dash away and a higher base movespeed. It should be impossible to get caught by mccree ever, unless you are braindead
for tracer, her blink casts quicker than mccree's roll + stun. And a good tracer will never be in range of stun to begin with.
and I see all this shit about how McCree is a noob character and so easy to play and broken, while he is sitting at a 49% win rate. People talk about how Genji is so hard to play, while he has a 50% win rate. I know 1% isn't a big deal, but it's something
Tyler Gonzalez
McCree shits on light fast characters because he can stop them dead in their tracks.
A stun is literally the best way to kill someone who's best defense is their mobility, if you don't stay mobile as either tracer or genji you're fucking dead.
McCree is the anti light and fast, while Reaper is the anti tank.
Is this the inspiration for Overwatch's soundtrack?
Ryder Gray
>the only way to stop good players if you suck is babby's hugbox: the character at least you admit it
Jace King
Countering genji is not a reason to keep mccree the same. I don't know how you can miss with fan the hammer, but if you get 6 bodyshots, that's 210 damage. Any noob mccree can kill genji with no skill. You'll rarely run in to full health enemies unless you're on a terrible team that doesn't work together, so mccree will still be an amazing anti genji with a nerf. This is doubly true for tracer, who has less health than genji and only requires 5 bodyshots to kill at full health.
Christopher Lopez
good players abusing even more bullshit
>le double jump cocain man >le blink around and rewind back butt girl
Brayden Torres
tell me how a character whose greatest strength is their mobility gets caught? or how a decent tracer/genji player is stupid enough to ever be in range of stun. roll+stun isn't instant either, you can react to it easily.
Luis Adams
I don't remember TF2 needing a huge class nerf immediately after release
Ethan Ross
You realize that there is no deathmatch mode, right? You have to be near the objective. Tracer cannot deal damage at long range and half of genji's dps comes from finishing people off with a dash. It's obvious why genji and tracer get close to mccree sometimes. You tell me how mccree is physically incapable of leading a dash/blink with his flashbang or using the massive blast radius to stun genji without a direct hit.
David Jenkins
>how a decent tracer/genji player is stupid enough to ever be in range of stun
A decent McCree can still duel them at medium and especially long range, he does plenty of damage with single shots to go toe-to-toe with them
Besides they need to get close to you to do damage anyways, so you either force (especially trace who hits like wet toilet paper from any mid range) them to duel you at range where they do probably less damage than you, or come close and risk getting stunned.
Leo Cruz
thats because the vast majority of the class nerfs took place in the beta
like Blizzard SHOULD have done
Joshua Ramirez
When I think about it, Valve did actually handle balance suprisingly well, especially considering the fuck ton of weapons they added.
The only thing that really stands out in my head is the pre-nerf FaN (Force-a-Nature), that thing was absolutely fucking disgusting on release.
But it's impressive they managed to add so many diverse weapons without fucking up balance
Tyler Wilson
everything stops genji he sucks
Colton Reyes
>McCree counters tracer
When will this meme die?
McCree can only kill her if he lands a flashbang
Any Tracer with half a brain is going to stay outside of that range and freely harrass him.
Tracer has no counters since her mobility out-performs any would-be counters and is hilariously forgiving of any mistakes.
Carter Jenkins
McCree can still duel her mid to close range with single left clicks.
It takes ONE mistake from a Tracer and your life ends
Eli Myers
>Blizz spent like 2 months telling millions of people to git gud >Game comes out, actual customers complain >"Oh shit, I'm sorry"
Hunter Lewis
>McCree lands a good hit E >E on cooldown Disengage for 2 seconds to get to health pack and come back
William Price
She still needs to get close to do any real damage
She can harrass yes, but he will still do more damage with his hits than she will do with her puny shots from range. McCree is actually a pretty damn good sniper
Lucas Stewart
>Playing Junkrat >Defending King's Row >Use my ult to kill the entire enemy team from behind the lines >Get POTG
Gabriel Morales
the problem isnt that he can gib flankers
the problem is he can kill roadhog in 2 seconds without the roadhog is stunned
Ryder Wright
the only way a Mei will be able to kill me is if i have dash on cooldown
or she gets of a lucky headshot with her right click
Jonathan Butler
Genji needs a change to his ultimate there is 0 advantages compared to just chucking shurikens that have no damage drop from any distance
Gavin Morris
Genji's ult, next to Tracer's, are probably the worst in the game. Mei's is pretty bad too.
Liam Stewart
I honestly don't understand the "McCree needs a nerf" crowd, McCree has no mobility and no survivability, without a good team to support he is trash since he needs to be close to get the most out of his damage output. You might as well rework him since he is the only DPS without mobility, self heal or damage block.
If the problem is the near guaranteed kill from flashbang then why isn't Roadhog or Mei a problem? I just doesn't make any sense to me.
Caleb Reed
the trick to his ult like many others is to blindside the team while they're being distracted
yea it fails alot but is superfun when you succesfully go ultra ninja on their ass
Christopher Stewart
>Mei's is pretty bad too. Ult the entire objective on a KotH map and see the enemy team either abandon the area or become easy kill for your team.
Connor Foster
>blindsides hero with 600 hp >"Eeeasy.." >fan >roll >fan
600hp tank just dead
i assume by you're ignorance that you never play tanks
Elijah James
He stole his sword from Sephiroth, that piece of shit has reach as long as a control point and hits everything on his screen.
Chase Rivera
so, the whole game is cancer?
Ryan Smith
Mei is a problem, what the fuck even makes you think that because peoples say one hero is OP then they must think every other hero is perfectly fine?
Jackson Barnes
My point is that 600+ damage he does is justified by his lack of redeeming quality other than damage output. Like I said if they don't want him having so much damage output, a rework of him to give him other qualities would be better than a nerf.
Isaac Anderson
i'm pretty sure that genji and tracer are shit if they don't get up close
Colton Myers
Have you seen a world map recently ?
Adrian Perez
He's designed to be a counter to faster flank heroes like tracer, 76 and genji. That's why he's going to be nerfed and not reworked because blizzard has an intended purpose for him which probably wasn't to turn tanks into paste every 10 seconds.
Jacob Wood
He is a terrible anti flank then, his main weapon isn't suited for fighting them, only flashbang really counters them, and I can't possibly see how is roll is supposed to help counter flanks.
James Wilson
his flashbang range is super short. you can do full damage with tracer outside of it
Colton Roberts
>He is a terrible anti flank then
I'm finding it hard to believe you've played this game.
Wyatt James
I find that no one has actually refuted anything I said
One stun ability with shit range does not make you an anti flank, Symmetra and Torb are what I call anti flank.
Having played every DPS in the game I just don't see it, its not their in the numbers I get higher damage with Pharah and Junkrat, I get higher eliminations with Tracer and Widow.
Whatever I realize he is getting nerfed but I thinks it ridiculous, thats all.
Adam Torres
>McCree is complete cannon fodder for a Solider or Pharah at decent range >I have never learned how to actually use my lmb Fuck off tard
Josiah Morgan
Roadhog is a walking target and only has a guaranteed kill some of the time due to shitty pathing and tickrate. He's also absolutely destroyed by both Widowmaker and McCree at any range because balance.
Mei is complete shit in anything above a 1v1 without her ult, gives an enemy time to fight back if it's not a complete ambush, is fucked over by Lucio's knockback, who is everywhere in competitive play, is shit from midrange out, and her wall/selfheals aren't as useful as they seem against competent players. Not only that, again, she's dominated by Widow and McCree, which severely limits your ability to use her.
Alexander Rivera
It kills any non-tank heroes in 2 hits, dash around after every kill to make him hard to hit. He also becomes a very obvious target, which technically is a disadvantage but it also gives you a great opportunity to use his deflect. The entire team shooting at you means you get a shitton of damage to deflect back at one poor opponent.
Liam Taylor
>Symmetra and Torb are what I call anti flank. Are you literally retarded?
Alexander Robinson
>Turrets not anti flank
If you haven't considered suicide you really should
James Carter
>you realize that McCree is complete cannon fodder for a Solider or Pharah at decent range. You mean he utterly dominates both of them because 3 70 damage headshots at max range are far easier to land than 2 direct hit rockets at long range or several shots and a helix rocket.
James Wood
>Mei's ult >bad
Found the fag who just mindlessly runs around killing.
Mei's ultimate can change an entire game especially in KotH
Ryder Martinez
Turrets are absolute shit in Overwatch. It's really, really easy to shut each and every one of them down.
Kevin Ross
>After all this time people are STILL calling for nerfs based on 1v1
When will they learn
James Harris
It's not like McBalanced isn't broken in larger fights.
Kayden Morgan
>contesting the point during Overtime >"Woah there.." >3 people caught in the stun
i mean what they could do is to lower the range on the grenade aswell so it actually takes some skill/practice to get the E+fan combo
Wyatt Scott
Do you not remember the backburner?
Adrian Fisher
Not as Tracer and not as Reaper or even anyone with falloff really, you have to rely on your team as a flanker to take turrets out for you because they are ANTI FLANK
Leo Wright
Worse.
>contesting point >Woah there >wears off >Hold up >because 2 FUCKING MCCREES
Benjamin Richardson
The issue is not his damage against attackers and shit, its that he completely melts Tanks with relative ease do to how impossible it is to miss all 6 fan shots on a Tank.
Also the fact that flashbang is the be all end all CC that cancels out everything else is downright broken and should see a nerf.
