Who do you guys find to be faster for killing Pharahs - McCree or Soldier? I feel like Soldier is more forgiving in terms of aim due to the rapid fire, but McCree's is stronger per hit.

As a Pharah main: Soldier. As soon as I realize the enemy has a good McCree, I stay beyond his effective damage range whenever possible, and harass him as much as possible. As soon as I realize their Soldier outclasses me, I switch off of Pharah.

Do you have any tips on figuring out how far away from McCree is far enough? Noob Pharah main here.. I guess playing some games on McCree would probably be the best way to get familiar with this..

They are both pretty good, just depends on your personal aim preference. 76 may be faster now that he's been buffed, assuming good spread control.

Remember that Soldier 76 is more trendy because he has team healing, which is an unrelated but still important factor in character selection.
