Overwatch's First Console Balance Patch Nerfs Torbjorn

[Silence]

If you find Mcree ruined, it's because you're not as good as you think you are or have the wrong expectations of the character. He's still deadly in 1v1 situations, just the skill floor is now higher and he was never designed to gib tanks. Several Mcrees constantly being used in each competitive team isn't cool. Mcree is still the 5th most picked hero in competitive play.

Here's a more up-to-date version of the chart you used:

In professional usage, McCree plummeted into the cellar with the likes of Mei, Bastion, and Zenyatta, all heroes that are generally acknowledged as weak in competitive play.

Another chart showing the change in hero usage over the past two weeks:

It's still early, and this is professional play that we're talking about, but the data available to me tells me that McCree dropped off the face of the Earth following his nerf. He's barely seeing professional play now.

So little Hanzo? That's odd.

But McCree is most definitely underplayed because of the Nerf, still. So useful against Tracer, and ... I see Tracer wrecking teams constantly, but nobody picking McCree, not realizing how needed he is.

Hanzo is mid range, competes with 76 who is better.
