I've always felt McCree is one of the most important characters in Overwatch both lore-wise and gameplay-wise. Because of this, his appearance into the Nexus would be a pleasant surprise and a nice addition for those who like skill-based Heroes.

Why give him mana?
Characters that don't rely on mana are a bit tricky to balance, as they can be left behind by new mechanics or metas (Chen and D.Va are good examples of this) or can become a big threat in the proper situation (Tracer, Fenix and even Junkrat are examples of this). In the case of McCree, his powerful burst-damage potential and AoE Crowd Control effects as well as a goood mobility tool could make him a serious threat should he never run out of skills to use, as he can be more durable than similar characters like Raynor or Cassia.

Why the long cooldowns?
It comes down on how useful his Abilities are. What if Fend only had a 5 second cooldown? What if Valla could use Vault every 6 seconds? Aren't AoE stuns usually attatched to Heroic Abilities? If you give a Hero short cooldowns, you'll make them a whole lot powerful by being able to do more damage and secure kills more easily.

Did you just make a Mount build?
Yep. I think that the best part of HotS is the ability to play your character the way you want, so I've tried my best to create a wide build variety for every player. AoE cleanses, a tormentous challenging quest for experienced players, and the ability to kill someone while riding a happy cloud.

Why does Fan the Hammer deal Physical Damage?
The key to playing McCree effectively is making the most out of his shots. If one were to use Fan the Hammer whenever it's on cooldown because they get blinded very often, either they locked McCree too early while drafting or they need to improve their stutter steping. I added a talent at level 1 to help overcoming this issue (as well as a build of some sort) but it comes with a cost of not choosing a better escape tool or more damage potential and even a better solution for this problem.

In conclusion, McCree is supposed to be as enjoyable as possible by giving him good tools and talent variety, as well as rewarding skillful plays. I wanted to finish this before BlizzCon breaks my heart, so I hope you all like this concept! Any feedback is appreciated.
