Hello,
I have been playing Overwatch for around a year now and have noticed many problems with the Mcree ultimate. The distance buff was a good attempt to fix some problems but I feel that just reworking the ultimate isn’t enough. Here are some of my ideas:
Mcree's ultimate should be more of a skill based ultimate not like the(press Q to kill ultimates ) like D.VA, Reaper or tracer. I think that the Ult should keep the high noon aspect and having the skulls markers, but instead of waiting for the markers to lock on each character it automatically is a instant kill. The gun won't automatically shoot each person, you must aim and shoot each individual person to kill them. The insta-kill will end after a shorter amount of time like around 5-6 seconds or when he runs out of his clip(when ult is activated the clip is reset.). The movement slow will still activate during the ultimate but only for around a 40%-50% speed decrease. The flashbang will be disabled like usual but the roll will still be enabled with the same cooldown.
The extra mobility will help Mcree's vulnerability to enemy shots and enemies just moving out of the way. It would give the Ultimate a skill ceiling more like Genji's, that new players can still get kills with it but the pros can still master how to use it. It isn't broke either, you can still move out of the way because of the time between each shot and the factor that the Mcree could miss. As well timed Sombra hack or any shield can still block the ultimate completely.
Overview: Mcree will be able to insta kill any character who had been locked onto in the beginning of the ultimate. He will have one clip of ammo to one shot as many enemies as possible(6). He has to aim himself to kill the enemies but will have less of a speed reduction and he will keep his role.
This was just an idea I had, if you have any changes or improvements you think I should make to this please feel free to comment would love any feed back I could get to further improve my concept!
Eanbling roll during ult is a good idea, but i would like to be able to cancel it and regain 50% of it.
When theres a genji deflecting ( and deflect has 8 sec cd lol), you are pretty much screwed every time. Or be able to cancel the lock on so, if theres a genji, just cancel the lock on him to avoid beeing killed by your own ult.
Hey,
with the ult you shoot your self but the lock on just means that the shots you do hit are an inta-kill. so you still have to aim. you can choose to just not shoot the genji.
Hope this clarifies things
I quite like this - I imagine what you are trying to get at is an ult more like Soldier in that it locks on to people you point at, rather than just everyone so like with soldier you can just look to a different character rather than the deflecting Genji?
The roll would be a nice little buff to him in that respect, and keep the movement speed low so it can still be shut down/countered.
It would save McCrees having to do wild flanks to get kills - atm his ult is a bit like DVa and more of a zoning ult, but I can understand the tank ult being a space creator its what tanks are for - DPS kinda need to be able to get the kills not just zone people out
I would love to be able to cancel pharahs ult because genji has deflect and refund it. I would love to be able to cancel 76s ult because genji has deflect and refund it. I would love to be able to cancel reapers ult because genji has deflect and refund it. I would love to be able to cancel bastions ult ult because genji has deflect and refund it. I would love to be able to cancel hogs ult because genji has deflect and refund it. I would love to be able to cancel tracer/hanzo/mei/zarya ult because genji has deflected it and its threat to my team and I want refund on it.
Deflecting graviton = deflecting dead eye, legit. Have you forgot the real arguments at home ? I will wait you, go back and bring them
With all of them yo can decide where to shoot, just to avoid that. Escpet reaper, but deflecting blossom is more complex because you deflect just a portion of the damage.
Ye its a poor comparsion since if genji deflects your grav you can do nothing. If you have high noon and genji uses deflect just wait 2 secs and shoot.
Yeah cuz genji doesent have a dash to reposition him self. (thats why usually higher ranks dont use those ults when genji has reflect. that goes to mccree as well)
Its one use. Sure. But they use it to kill people as well with the “high noon”. If you manage to get a key kill with just reloading ur gun with ult its worth it.
Buy a domain and you can prolly find some ancient sphagetti code for forums. And im quite sure there is some free ones that are not ancient. Google is a friend, ow forums toxic.
