Feline does games

So I'm going to cover the three i know how to play, Mercy, Moria, and Zen

Mercy: If you jump at the end of your guardian angle ability, you get a bit of a boost.

Moria: if you fade up an object and jump, you'll go farther.

McCree (like all of overwatch heros) has many varied playstyles, you have your snipers, roll and fan, flash and headshot, really anything can happen. Now i am by far a McCree expert but I'll be going through and explaining what works for me. But first lets go through his attack and abilities.

Primary fire

McCree's gun is a six shooter revolver with about two shots per second at the lower end of his damage capabilities is about 20 damage per shot but keeping up close and person will land about 70 damage per shot. Fan the hammer has roughly the same base damage but a lower cap on the damage at about 50, but if you land all six shots it's enough to take down any non tank, while McCree's single shot can headshot fanning the hammer cannot.

Abilities

Combat roll allows McCree to roll in the direction he's moving and simultaneously reloading his gun, it doesn't have much of a range to the roll so i wouldn't recommend it for a dodge as much as a quick reload method in a fire fight.

Flashbang lobs a small projectile that will detonate shortly after leaving McCree's hand effectively stunning any hero that gets caught in the radius as long as they're not behind a shield of some sort or it's a fortified Orisa the stun doesn't last very long so it's more of an interruption than it is a put down. It does allow for openings in defenses though.

McCree's ultimate (Deadeye) allows him to lock onto enemies in his line of sight and effectively shoot them down when the reticle changes to a skull, the damage starts at 100 and then ramps up 250 damage per second after that, it can be blocked by shields and other objects and McCree cannot move very fast when he is locking on or use any other abilities.

Playstyle

Usually when someone sees a McCree heading towards them their first though is not "oh look better run up and shoot his face in" it is instead "oh look i better get out of his effective range for Flashbang and fan the hammer" meaning that if alone you're going to get picked off if you're seen but i like to stay with my team and just pick off shots here and there, if i do find myself alone and flanking i make sure to stick to routes with tight corners, that way if i run into anyone they're just a Flashbang and a hammer fan away from death, tanks used to pose a problem to this due to their larger health pool but the method of countering this is to flash, fan, then roll into them or past them so that when they recover they must turn to find you and by that time you're already fanning the hammer again and most likely killing them. McCree's deadeye provided a bit of a problem for me at first as i didn't get when to use it, but that's because i was trying to use it alone, when used in coordination with Sombra's ult (EMP) it becomes much harder to counter. Zarya's ultimate (graviton surge) can give McCree a nice set up for deadeye as well but i found the most effective method for deadeye was in the middle of a firefight the enemies usually have lower health it's harder to determine where the McCree is and it's a lot harder to interupt of McCree is behind his team.

To recap stay with your team and pick your shots. If alone try to keep to tight corners. Flash fan roll fan will take out just about anyone. And deadeye in the middle of an exchange.

While lockpicking in Skyrim is essential, a player doesn’t need to master it to advance the game, get enough lockpicks and a player can open any door, or chest, but i am here to make the whole process a little easier. Lockpicking can be rather easy if a player knows one simple thing, pick positioning. In my various adventures throughout Skyrim i have found a common theme for the first three tiers of lockpicking. They all have a general place where a player can touch on and it’s almost guaranteed to hit the opening. I commonly refer to these as “Hits” 

   Getting a Hit

The first place i usually try for a hit is the very left of the lock, no real reason just a preference a player could always try to find a hit on the right as well but placement is key for the second part of the detection.

The second place i try for a hit is between the center of the lock and the far left. but usually for lower level locks try closer to the center.

The center is the middle of it all and i find myself surprised at how often the opening mechanism is right dead center.

After the center the player should move to the same position as the second, but on the opposing side.

And lastly try for a hit on the far end. Now this method will (almost) always get a player a hit, but more often than not it won’t go all the way, so minor adjustments are usually required.

Be aware of your parameters.  

So while getting a hit is all fine and dandy, a player should learn what locks have what wiggle room, so to speak. A Novice lock will have a bigger opening hit than an Apprentice lock, and so on and so forth, it’s not something that can really be explained in words or pictures, it’s something a player gains through experience.

Perks

Now depending on a players style of playing, a player might want perks for lockpicking. If a player isn’t going for a lockpicking play style i would advise the player to spend the perk points elsewhere, due to the fact that the first three perks of the lockpicking skill tree can be rendered useless. The main lockpicking skills claim to make locks easier to pick, this is done by making the opening hit larger.

Say that the red area is the parameter that when hit will open the lock without the Novice Locks perk

Now with the perk the green area would be added on, making an easy lock even easier. Now as a player puts perks points into the lockpicking skill tree there are two perks i would recommend avoiding. The first is the quick hands perk. Said perk allows a player to pick a lock without being seen, which initially comes off as a useful thing right? well it is not, because it does exactly what it says, a player won’t be notice while picking a lock, but if the player is stealing something, the player will be caught, if the player is attempting to break into a location they are not intended to be in, the player will be caught. It would be much more valuable to put the perk point into sneaking if the player did not wish to be caught. The other useless perk would require the quick hands perk, and is called Wax Key. The perk creates a key for whatever door or chest the player is lockpicking if the door or chest has one, this perk is useless because any door or chest a player lockpicks will either stay open forever, this usually includes doors or chests in dungeons or caves, or is a door or chest that will be locked again sometime later, meaning the player can go back and gain more leveling for the lockpicking skill. Other than those two perks maxing out the lockpicking skill tree is a large advantage. Golden touch allows the player to find more gold in chests, and Treasure Hunter gives a 50% greater chance of finding special treasures. Locksmith starts the pick closer to the starting position (Great help for higher level locks, and the Unbreakable perk which as the name suggests, makes the player’s lockpicks unbreakable.
