Overwatch McCree Name Change Explained by Blizzard; New Deathmatch Map Comes to PTR

Overwatch players who are fans of a certain futuristic gunslinger are going to have to expect changes, as the upcoming Overwatch McCree name change is explained by Blizzard!

[SpeedDemon]

They announced that the characters new name will be Bill Cosby.

[Gatsu]

XD

[VTKC]

And make him black. Because you know for diversity and clout.

[bradfh]

I always thought it was Mad Dog McCree from an older game.

[Pyrofire95]

I don't (M)agree with this choice. Why ruin and complicate a character because he was named after some ass. Most people wont even realize why. I feel like it's letting one dude ruin a good thing for everyone else and this is some meaningless over-correction.

[excaliburps]

Yeah. I think it’s not really needed.

[jambola]

because it's an easy way to pretend they care and didn't support, enable and allow horrible things to happen at their company
they can pretend to be against the abuse that happens by doing as little as possible

[-Foxtrot]

It's Blizzards form of damage control

They listened to a minority bunch of vocal fans wanting the change and now they are acting like they are doing such a great job, changing their ways, that it's a huge step forward for them when all it is to them is PR

[XxINFERNUSxX]

Overwith 💩💩

[HeliosHex]

Macguffin sounds appropriate.

[redrum06]

A new FFA deathmatch map? Boring

[Flakegriffin]

Another pointless change.
