Yes i like these characters >:)
Everytime i see a forum about them, they are always the number 1 hated characters. Why? Just because “They are hypermobile”? or because “FPS characters don’t fit MOBA”? These reasons are pretty common and i still disagree.
Give an actual reason for hating them aside the reasons mentioned above. Cause they are overused.
“Omg, OW characters are hypermobile, they kill me when I have low hp and don’t retreat. NeRf them!1111”
Something like that.

Tracer and Genji should be removed from the game. Their Kit can’t be balanced right, so they are either too weak or too strong. Right now you can see what happens when they overbuff them.

Difficult to disagree with that if even Tracer players think Untouchable/Tracer is OP due to mobily bug. On a hero that deals no damage.
Conclusion - damage doesnt kill people, OW hypermobility kills people.
Not that I disagree with you, OP, but you have set up the following situation:
- Here are 2 ‘common’ reasons why people dislike something
- Provide an ‘actual’ reason for disliking it
- The 2 common reasons don’t count
Like…how are people supposed to answer this if the reasons they have won’t be considered as valid? What are you looking for here, exactly?

Er…for a logical reason for the hatred they get. I didn’t mean that those reasons don’t count. They are just really overused. Cause not all OW heroes are hypermobile. Just Tracer and Genji. But all of them get the hate.
Sigh sorry i made you confused. Idk how to explain it.
Because people hate to play vs hyper mobile heroes.

Untouchable is overloaded by itself but moving 2 - 3 times the range with a single blink gives a large mechanical advantage.
Also it literally soft patch the mobility she lost with Bullet Time.
Because first heroes were Tracer, Genji and Lucio.
All are hypermobile and outside of Lucio, it is impossible to balance Genji and Tracer. They either suck or are overpowered and dominate.
Also people at that time were waiting for heroes such as Deathwing, Baal, Duriel, Mengsk and so on and got obnoxious annoying heroes from new franchise which nobody wanted or needed.

Tracer walk while attacking hero in a moba, recall was very hard to punish. You died way more than you killed her making it even more frustrating. Game over if you had no point and click heroes (ranged AA were weak when she came to boot).
Genji: had way more burst and lots of aoe burst with old dragon blade, his AA evasion talent was stronger than now.
E push deflect kill you with your own tower even if you didn’t attack him.
Lulcio aoe hypermobile , shield breakers were scarce so sound barrier reigned supreme.
Zarya from UP to OP and guaranteed win on braxxis in only a 2 day period while no other hero had a buff that fast.
Added salt because OW hero in a SC event.
Dva: DW bait with most cringe cinematic with cancer genjo in it as a bonus.
Had highest dps of the game in pilot mode.
Mecha was stronger too.Very annoying.
Ana started slow now the only hero with 100 heal reduction and long range sleep.
Hanzo best hero of the game before and now. Pve god, -25 armor meme.
" We’re position free plus movement speed"
To sum up an combination of annoying , only hero/franchise who can do X and DW bait.
Genjo tracer and hanzo escaped balance patches for an eternity, did not help.

OW hero’s force people to git gud…sadly we don’t have a community that cares to even attempt to improve their game play so these special hero’s needed to be nerffed so people could keep playing like trash.
That’s where the hate comes from. OW hero’s feed of the mistakes of the enemy team and punish people for playing poorly. But hey we can’t have that now…or we’ll at least not an OW hero that fills that role.

People say they hate “hypermobility” that OW characters bring, but they just forget about some hypermobile heroes that were in the game from other games 
It is just nonsense hate tbh.

Exactly. That’s why this isn’t a valid reason to hate them

Have you heard Dva’s voice? My god-- MY EARS! Everything she says is painful! Her voice is like an extra layer of cc that causes the player to cringe if they have their sound on! She NEEDS to be removed from the game!

They re-voiced her. Tho she still has the same voice actress. It isn’t that annoying tho.
Though i agree. Her voice is much calmer in Overwatch (Despite being voiced by the same voice actress)
There is nothing wrong with OW. People hate hyper mobile heroes taking free dmg and difficult to punish. Tracer, genji are difficult to catch. Zarya has shield (should I attack her shield? She collects energy). D. Va moves around and throws bombs (good way to steal camp).
No tanks or melees are from OW. This game so far only contributes heroes taking free advantage (most players don’t know how to catch them). I don’t know why Blizz does this.

Who was an hypermobile before tracer? Illidan with his incredible reputation? Maybe zeratul who was always top 3 lowest winrate in game along tass and abathur ? Nah samuro or maiev who did not even exist?
People forget that hypermobile from other franchises came after those heroes got in the game.

And Illidan, Zera and Sam aren’t “ranged assassins”. They are way easier to punish.
