McGinnis is a tanky hero who can pretty much take advantage in the Early Game. With McGinnis, you’re very tanky and annoying, so make sure you persist in being the same throughout the whole game.
Use your turrets smartly, use walls to block enemies, heal for sustain and pushes, and use your ult to push and team fight. Your ultimate can kill the hard creep camp, your heal lets you trade shots in the lane, and your huge magazine lets you last hit and deny orbs like a god. Focus on early survivability and weapon damage. Transition into turrets mid-game. In late-game, your turrets are annoying monsters that heal you and make your enemies cry.
