Hazard every time you play McCree i'm like "...but your Pharah is the best tho y u do dis"
we win more when you pick Pharah, I dont think its a coincidence!
Because you chucklefucks don't deal with tracers or genji or deal damage to tanks so our backline gets picked off, or the cart stays pushing.
Oh yeah you must be a pro Mccree then. Mind linking us your master overwatch stats so we can compare? Learn a few things from you.
McCree is usually who I switch to if we are getting overrun, or no one is dealing with a Rein shield (if there are too many ranged threats to pick Reaper), or to deal with an enemy Pharah, or Genji or Tracer. It's usually a counter pick against a winning team and we lose out on my damage as another attacking class bcause we aren't dealing with the enemy team comp well.
IMO it's a safer distance pick where you can headshot burst tanks safely and protect your backline with the threat of flashbang. If you have support (like a Zarya + healer) then Reaper is better for melting tanks and if you have a good 76 who sticks with you it's basically who I want to fill in my team (agreed there). I aim better with McCree than 76 as it's hard to swap off how I aim with Pharah/McCree and Soldier tracking. More importantly it's how I deal with Zarya since I never have good widows on my team as a large amount of my losses come from an unstoppable Zarya.
You can find my stats if you look, being passive aggressive about it doesn't help anyone. Competitive teams have swapped to Roadhog exactly for pickoff potential as you said. Maybe it's just because I find it rewarding to play McCree well I keep playing him.
