my concept for a cassidy ult rework is making it so entering deadeye frees your cursor and hides most of your ui, replacing the instantly aimed shots with sort of like a shooting minigame. clicking in this mode makes you shoot but you can only reload a single time. marked targets still have a damage ramp up, but getting a kill or a headshot partially progresses the remaining marks on your screen. it keeps the concept of him pressuring his LoS while giving his players more agency on targetting, because as it stands his ult is so easily counterable by just cc or everyone hiding behind a tank and/or shield that it's hardly worth using it most of the times

Has anyone else noticed how much McCree is actually wearing?? One does not simply unpack himΒ

cole cassidy is an angry man. he's angry at the world, at himself, at the powers that be, at the factions that keep fucking up this shithole of a planet at every turn of the way. his rage is deep-seated and all consuming, it would be justifiable for him to be endlessly bitter at the world that failed him and many others, his case especially starting far too early with his beyond fucked up upbringing, but we keep only seeing glimpses of this anger in his present self. his refusal to forgive himself and soldier 76 for what they did in hanamura is such an outlier in his voicelines that it almost seems like it doesn't belong in his oft lighthearted exchanges with the other heroes. it makes you ask that if this is really the case, why do we never see him lash out? he's more than enough reason to after all.
well, he's seen what unrestrained wrath has done to those around him.
he witnessed ashe fall deeper and deeper into the viper pit, her rage soothed only by the sweet release of vengeance. he was angry during retribution, angry enough to question why they weren't killing antonio to begin with, but knew deep inside that it wasn't the right choice. when he watched gabriel kill antonio, he watched as his mentor and the world he found himself beginning to find comfort in burned down right in front of his eyes. nobody came out of it victorious, only assessing casualties and fallout.
so when cole feels that coiled snake in him start to rattle, baring its fangs and hissing, when he looks down at his mechanical arm and starts to clench his fist at the thought of everything that's been taken from him, he sees gabriel and ashe's faces in the back of his mind. he sees the inferno of wrath that took away the closest things he had to family and the thought slowly unfurls the knot in his throat. he can't let that happen again, he thinks, not to himself. so, he lets the rage cool down, slide off him like water off a duck's back, and pops another bottle of beer open.
