Blizzard's latest Overwatch patch has nerfed two often complained-about characters - Widowmaker and McCree. While I personally think Widowmaker was in a good place and nerfing her was unnecessary, McCree is a whole other story. His combo of stun and fan-hammer (complete unload of his weapon in half a second) was completely overpowered and uninteractive. There are always people who will argue that you just need to "git gud" to deal with him, but assuming he hits you with a stun, your controls are disabled and you just get to sit there while he unloads lethal damage with impunity in the flash of an eye. While landing the stun is not automatic, it is fairly easy to do given that it has a generous area-of-effect.
It will be interesting to see if he still sees competitive play but, in the meantime, thank you, Blizzard!
