How to improve myself on McCree?

Question or Discussion

I’ve recently started playing Overwatch 2, and before that I had some experience using my friend’s account back in Overwatch 1. I’m still learning the game, but my goal is to improve steadily and play Ranked most of the time.

Right now, I don’t feel confident enough to queue Ranked because I don’t want to be that guy who ruins someone else’s match.

Roles & Heroes

  • Main Role: DPS
  • DPS Heroes:
    • Cassidy (McCree)
    • Soldier: 76
    • Sojourn
  • Support (when needed):
    • Baptiste only

I’m not claiming god-tier aim, but I prefer relying on raw aim and positioning rather than heavy hero mechanics or gimmicks.

Playstyle & Decision-Making

  • I usually position myself near my tank
  • When I have ult on Soldier or Cassidy, I:
    • Go for sneaky flanks
    • Time my ult when enemies are distracted by my team
  • I also use Cassidy’s ult to:
    • Reload safely
    • Stall a point or objective
    • Buy time for my team to regroup

Target Priority

  1. Enemy supports, if they’re accessible
  2. If not:
    • Apply pressure to the tank
    • Force them to fall back or die

Closing

Below are the stats from my last two games.

  • Should I start playing Ranked?
  • What can I do to improve further and make fewer mistakes for my team?

Thanks in advance.
