Overwatch patch replaces McCree’s noose spray
Posted on 3 months ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in News, Switch eShop | 0 comments
McCree’s noose spray has been patched out of Overwatch. Blizzard delivered the update this week, which replaces the noose with a horseshoe that has the text “Bad Luck” on it.
Blizzard hasn’t actually made an announcement about the change, nor has it issued any sort of statement.

Given recent times and how the image of a noose could be linked to lynchings of Black people in America, Blizzard may have felt the change was necessary.
In today's update, the Overwatch McCree "Noose" spray has been removed and replaced with the "BAD LUCK" spray. pic.twitter.com/rpMAfJlB2y
