I don't play Overwatch and I'm not in the fandom but that "It's hiiiiigh noon" thing endeared me to the cowboy.

[(Anonymous)]

He wasn't just an awkward recruit. He was in the Dreadlock gang and when they were all arrested, he was offered the change to join Blackwatch or go to prison.

He has the whole 'bad guy who reluctantly becomes a good guy' draw to him. Also, he is a cowboy which is hilarious.

i think the reformed bad guy trying to do good thing is appealing to a lot of ppl, he's not my favourite or anything but that tends to be because i get more attached to the heroes i play more myself and i'm garbage at mccree, so.

also with games like this there aren't like... cutscenes of character development or moments where you can unlock their loyalty mission and Tragic Backstory. there's comics but they're still establishing really basic ass stuff and not going into the interactions between two characters who feasibly haven't even met yet since the game isn't canon. i just kind of like that ship archetype i guess and i'd wager that's possibly the case for a good number of people. red/blue, warm friendly person with more closed off person, etc.

I love that archetype myself, but McHanzo just...doesn't work for me. I think I got completely over saturated with it before I got even just a tiny bit interested in the fandom and now I can't stand to look at it.

I feel that way about Mei/Zarya as well. That's a pair-the-spares if there ever was one...

Ship him with Soldier 76 and Reaper like me for that delicious, delicious daddy kink.

I don't like ReaperMcCree but all three?

[(Anonymous)]

Honestly, I don't get it either. You don't get much from him in the game except for the High Noon thing, and really, he's kind of a shitty hero in general. (I've only seen a couple really good McCree players in my numerous hours of Overwatch.) McCree is just a joke to me.

[(Anonymous)]

Maybe because he's so ridiculous

A guy who chooses to dress up like a cowboy despite being from the future?

[(Anonymous)]

See, I used to be in the same camp. Especially RE: McHanzo. It's just pairing two generic hot guys with very little established personality in-canon, who cares?

Then I thought about it for a while, and realized that they have a surprising amount in common. They're both the sort of idiot losers who decide independently, in the sci-fi future, to cosplay as some legendary old-time hero to look cool. They both shun weapons and tactics that don't fit their Aesthetic even if they'd make more conventional sense, and they both take their roles as samurai/cowboy 100% unironically seriously. They both deeply regret hideous crimes they've done in the past and are awkwardly working their way back to forgiving themselves and being real heroes. They're both embodying old-school heroic icons because they don't know how to be heroes on their own merits. Both struggle with self-flagellation (alcoholism and honorable punishment, respectively) as a result of their shitty pasts. Both of them grew up with horrible 'family' influences that they can't quite entirely shake off. And they both genuinely think they look cool and intense while others make fun of them behind their backs.

So... idk. I'm probably reading way too much into it, but I can see it.

McCree, Soldier 76, and Hanzo are all completely overrated trash tbh.
