Discussion
I think McCree would be a great addition to the Nexus. He could tie into the skins that Raynor and Valla have. This would create a nice theme, especially if they had 2 more characters with western skins (Rexxar as a Native American style chief and Tyrande as a Native hunter would be perfect).
For his play style he is a swift bursty killer, being able to poke his enemies before rolling in and unloading his Peacekeeper for big damage. This would tie in very well with a lot of his talents. Alternatively he could hide in grass before unloading and using his roll as an escape. The flashbang is for harassing enemies for your team or as a defensive measure against danger.
His first ult is the same as the Overwatch one, but slightly modified so it doesn't kill the whole team instantly. His second Stick O' Dynamite just felt fitting for a cowboy style hero. His level 20 talent 'A Card to Play' just felt appropriate, staying true to the old west theme.
