Good McCrees always know what time it is.
Does this actually update with stats? Mine is 40% on PC but it says 38 on overbuff.

I added you. I'm Maple. I'm playing PTR 99% of the time right now but will be back on the live servers this weekend and will invite you if I get any groups going.
Hopefully the new map and/or balance patch drops today or tomorrow... I don't think I can take much more PTR comp and have just been playing the Eichenwalde brawl over and over again.
Mines 40% but I'm a garbage mccree player.
lowered it to 1600/2.75 and holy caneloni. It really makes a difference. Last game I had 58% accuracy with McCree. My average is 41%
Fucking dumb for the rest of us.

I think I'm alright. I decent with knowing the routes to stop flanker and can zone an area pretty well. It doesn't always feel like I'm having as big an impact as I might with other characters, but I win a lot with him.
Yea buddy go make that 3366 sensor do some work
..Pick tracer now and wreck some havoc since lower sens helps when playing with her too Yea buddy go make that 3366 sensor do some work
It's not only the sensor. No annoying cable to throw around and that gets stuck at my speakers.

Anything 40%+ is good. Taimou and Surefour are two of the world's best McCrees, and they both hit about 51% on average.

Did you try 1600/3 at all? What resolution are you playing on? I am trying to figure what would be best for me. I'm on 1440p and might settle on 1600/2.5 at the end of the day as 3 feel a little fast compared to when I was playing at 400/10.

Just finished a match in QP as Reinhardt, gold medals in objective time, eliminations, and silver in damage. We lost, but it's times like these when I wonder... WHAT IS MY TEAM DOING THE ENTIRE MATCH.

Playing Hanzo.
I still dont trust wireless mouse but yea g900 is a good mouse.I am still with my old trusty deathadder for 5 years now waiting for the g403 .Since u have a mech keyboard too i hope that u have a 144hz screen too for the full experience
I would suggest critical hit% but again mine is 5% which is apparently off the charts for PSN overbuff but that contradicts what I know about myself as mccree. Maybe final hits would be good? I have a low stat for that so pretty much conclusive evidence.
These are console stats. I'm probably just aiming at the reinhardt shield constantly.
You mean Widow.
Cool, I can add a Note to your name. I am usually on PTR as well but I think if you play PTR it does not show you playing OW on the Bnet friendlist. I need to confirm this though.

5% crits puts you in the top 23% on US-PC Overbuff. 6% puts you in the top 14%.
Taimou averages 14%. :O
I was at 1600/3 but it still felt a bit too fast. 1600/2.75 feels better.
Edit: @1080p

144Hz G-Sync. Yes.
I got 7% but i still dont feel that i play a good mcree.I mean every time i see Taimou or Iddqd i am blown away of the dmg they output

I was just about to ask this because I definitely land a headshot more than 3 out of every 100 but if aiming for the Reinhardt shield or something similar gives you a 1/1 with no critical hit then that would explain both discrepancies.

As far as I know, every bullet fired counts, including FTH.
This probably explains why my accuracy in S1 was 44%, which is higher than my lifetime QP average (41%): I hardly use FTH since they nerfed it the first time.
But I'm PS4. 5% on PS4 puts me above the top percentile they have for overbuff which is 4% crit rate. It doesn't even show my percentile.
Yet I suck with him pretty badly.
That might explain it. I don't FtH since I'm used to prenerf mccree. I just aim for heads whenever instead of FtH when I should. Maybe if I do that I'll get better.

144Hz G-Sync. Yes.
I'll have to try 2.75 when I get home. Haven't played much at all this week though so maybe I'm just rusty.

McCree isn't just about accuracy: it's accuracy combined with volume. I have 9% critical with McCree, but I'm ass when I play him. I just can't be accurate and fast, and I don't get nearly enough kills to justify playing him.

Just played with some of you good games!
I have to say though I really hate how 50/50 I seem to be at getting away from Roadhog's hook. Can anyone help with the timing?

Yea thats the issue with us plebs!!!U have to be a machine to have impact on mcree.Thats why i suggest playing more soldier76 if u feel u dont have impact instead of forcing it since they kinda cover the same type of dmg(Mcree is far better at it though)

I need to work on my crits. I usually aim lower to try and get more guaranteed damage. Especially when switching to different sized targets. Doesn't help that I've been messing around with my DPI/Sens for the last month trying to find what works best for me and my new setup. The stats above are taken from my performance in Comp as in QP I messed around way too much and am sitting at a 48% or so I think. Started at around 40% when game launched and have been getting at least 50%+ average since comp as I started playing the game a little more seriously/better.
Just looked at my overbuff stats for Tracer and I'm averaging 11 eliminations and 10 deaths per game with her... lol. I'm terrible with her. I think I play her like Genji/Reaper too much as a flanker. She seems like the one to be along with the main group picking off targets. Hard habit to shake off.
I wouldn't worry about it, I have 50+ hours on Cree and I have to say that he becomes stronger on coordinated teams which is why his max potential is so contrasting in pro play. Sometimes I'm ass with him if my team is dead half the time and I have no support, there are other times where I receive friend requests from my McCree play.
Reaper is actually pretty good with the group. Can take down reinhardt's shield pretty easily and kills any monkeys coming for your support.

Tracer's not top-tier at getting solo kills, but she's absolutely insane when the enemies are distracted or not covering her angle of attack (which is why she's so good on Control maps). I love being McCree with a good Tracer on my team (I have a friend who's top 3% in Tracer E
), because we soften up each other's kills so efficiently. Throw in a Zen calling Discord targets and people just melt.Those numbers are partly cumulative, so people who play a handful heroes for many hours will rank highly regardless of their performance. Look at rate percentiles (and especially Master Overwatch x/min stats).

Whoa.
I mean this in the nicest of ways but if you're barely at a 1/1 K/d id say it's a total back to the drawing board type thing on how you approach the character. She works fine as a flanker you just have to pick your engagements smartly. And you should be racking up eliminations by just doing a little bit of damage to targets. If I'm not at 3/1 it's considered pretty bad.
Again, seriously not trying to be a dick. But if you want tips you could tell us how you fight with her and maybe we could help.
Vault is a great Tracer so listen to this man.

This. Great advice from Vault.
Think of tracer like a pest. You're main job is annoying/distracting people while peppering them with damage and getting picks on supports if the situation provides it. Don't go in deep unless you can get yourself out of the situation if the tides turn. Managing your blink and recalls are important to her otherwise you are a sitting duck and going to be ineffective and most likely killed. Also having a decent team helps as they will be helping you finish off opponents and vice versa.

I'm on now if anyone wants to group up (PS4), id is Eviltwinz93
This is my problem with Mccree too. I have 39% accuracy and 7% crit, but I don't take enough shots so those numbers don't mean much
Were you or somebody else a zarya?

I was Ana, but we did have a Zarya.
But he was spamming it the entire match. Even after he used his dragon.
I had a Tracer once who did that, had to mute her.
Probably wants zarya to save her ult for him every time.
I think people fear picking Winston because of the easy mockery that comes with him, but also the illusionary perception that he requires no skill. Of course when you are dealing with people who can't strategize their way out of a paper bag and only think the game is mechanical vs mechanical this will be the result.

Winston is best effective in a team that is at least semi-coordinated IMO. Without much coordination, especially with the current discord, it is harder for him to be effective versus the other tanks.
Needs a zarya to help him last long enough to get the zenyatta or jump back out.
