Yerp I was in basically every rank up to diamond in OW1. It being my first M&K shooter didn’t help.
people understood what the “meta” was and could still roll with it. even if not common. You don’t need to be MLG to point the monkey stun gun d.va rappid fire shot guns on the supports now,
Or you know years of forum feed back, watching people of sorts of levels play on streaming when OW was still the new hot thing. I remember Nitro rad attempting to stream it play junkrat and just lagging so bad to do not having the band width for both the game and the stream.
If you want you can pop back on the old forums at the height of dive, and see people complain about it from all steps of the ladder.
It wasn’t just something the top players were complaining about, it was an issue basically everyone was talking about till they started nerfing / reworking those heroes. Then you get “why do hate d.va posts” and the really split reactions on brig were people were both yelling Ya dive is dead! and No they ruined the game! At the same time.
??? eh you mean doing a lot of damage and not getting kills. Ya that did happen a lot in ow1.
I mentioned junkrat because like a lot people couldn’t aim his gun in most ranks. And would have stupid damage numbers and not a lot kills because of barrier and tank damage. That would get healed off / regen when he was dead.
And not a lot of kill confirms as a whole. Because the Jumprat two tap playstyle didn’t really take hold till like close to the end OW. And wasn’t really possible till after his rework.
