People like to bring up ' short range ' when they talk about mccree , well all i ' m saying is that reaper already fills that niche . So at least we agree on that . I wasn ' t debating his role . If mccree is allowed to burst someone , that means the fight is already going his team ' s way , and soldier would do as much if not more damage in that context . Besides , he ' s much better at breaking shields and startingturning said teamfights . Tracer is not much of a concern nowadays though , obviously Cree is better suited to deal with her , but s 76 isn ' t half bad either . Anyhow , my only point was that s 76 does pretty much everything better than cree and is WAY easier to execute to boot , hence why there ' s no point in picking cree over him . It doesn ' t mean that Cree is bad , he ' s just more or less irrelevant at the moment on all levels of play . Meta is a concern for top players and pros , sure it affects his pick rate there , but he ' s also better at lower ranksqp due to his streamlined mechanics . Which needs fixing in my opinion and not through nerfs .
