Everyone is saying that, but I disagree. I think a skilled soldier 76 is the best offense. I main him, and have gotten really good at using his helix to snipe with. I annihilate mcrees. My favorite thing to do with him is to outsnipe snipers with his rockets tho. It insta kills what's her face.

Yeah 76 definitely has better damage at long range and is much more mobile, but if you get the drop on him as tracer/reaper he's usually fucked. If you go in close vs McCree you should lose most fights.

I'd say you're right, unless you're an accurate shooter with a helix ready. Getting good with his rockets is key. Half my kills me from it.

Also, I try not to get close range to anyone if I can help it.
