It's kinda funny the one character that's named after a real person happened to be the one named after a bad one.

I wish we could still get that Zarya Overwatch League skin, it looked so cool, especially compared to her other skins.

[milkboks]

I don't think this skin should be controversial by representing a bad person but should be looked on as a sign of overcoming and working against the bad stuff as blizzard immediately started working to find a way to get through the unfortunate situation

Damn, it really all went downhill once Kaplan left…

[OverDriver]

Never thought you had insane aim with McCree/Cassidy broyouwack

The real darkest time is now when pve is canceled 😂

I get thay blizzard wanted to keep the distances from real life events and people after all these incidents, the thing that i cant swallow yet however is the fact that they removed even "commemorations" about people who did good to the game and made it and it's community grow, the thing abt removing jeph's name from the coffee or Roberto draghetti's commemoration plate on malevento doesnt make sense at all😕

It’s crazy that someone in this world has an overwatch character’s name

[Engmatic]

When I merged my "new" Blizzard account with Twitch, I couldn't claim the sprays no matter how much I reloaded my account 💀

[COWMILKIES]

I remeber when this whole thing happened. I started playing overwatch around June 2021. I remember me doing the challenge, the new blood comic and the whole allegations.

The many bad things and poorly excecuted decisions makes me less and less motivated to play OW2.

The Horrible Launch Day, the Battle Pass system, how the gameplay feels more agressive than strategic, the 5v5 format, game modes which feels more empty than exciting, and of course the scrapping of their BIGGEST SELLING POINTS: The PvE Hero Mode!

This game doesn't feel like it's a "sequel", it's more like an update of the original Overwatch game with a number 2 badly drawed WITH A CRAYON!

They should've left it to the community to change McCree's name so if it sucked blizzard could just say it was our fault

[detergent]

BroYouWack: "Do not use!" Also BroYouWack: *Uses it for background gameplay*

[rizevock]

his name should have been Dave Eastwood

[LivvyUwU]

i think the name change wasn’t needed because when we hear mccree we all think of the character, not the person he was named after

[david]

I still call him McCree. I call him McCree cause that's what I'm familiar with. I don't care about the employee. Just the character.

[goingtoscream]

I honestly do like cole cassidy as a name for him, idk why ppl don't like it i find it charming 😢

[emilrojas]

The moral to the story is: “never name a character after a real person” you might never now what would happen then

[VonSnuggles]

I understand why people still call him McCree. Yeah there's a lot of nostalgia behind it and such, but I don't understand the people who are like "no, they shouldn't have changed it, it doesn't matter." and they say it purely out of spite, those are the people that get me. I think it does matter, even if not everyone knew the name belonged to a deplorable piece of trash.

Granted I think Cole Cassidy is kinda lame, I think if they really wanted to keep the name Cole they coulda done Cole Ryder or something. Imo something akin to that would've been cool, even if a little bit generic.

Edit: Upon googling the name Cole Ryder, I have found that to be the name of an adult film actor that died in 2008. Because of this I wish to double down on the name, as it reminds me of Brokeback Mountain.

Its been 7 years and ive always called him mccree and i refuse to call him anything else. Its been engraved in my mind for years and im not going to bother trying to change it
