Apparently its the easiest skill which is the hardest for you to learn… You never hit more then 40% of your shorts… ever.

This has to just be a bait right? The OP doesn’t play heroes that require any aim.
Where is the downvote button ?

Worst part is the heros that he does play that DO have accuracy accounted and they aren’t even good. He has not a single hero over 35% accuracy.

Obviously, but if you don’t play then you definitely won’t learn.
That’s with any skill in the game. It’s a meaningless distinction. There’s a difference between playing and training. I played the game overall for a lot longer than I’ve done comp. I only got noticeably better by looking up tutorials on Lucio and broader game concepts, and consciously applying them. Playing badly only means you’re going to be bad. Actually practicing perfection makes you improve.

I never said this wasn’t true. I agree with everything you’ve said in this.

What a surprise, a Torb/Sym/Mercy main says that aim isn’t difficult.

Positioning with Moira is as important as with every other support hero, for the most of the time you can’t afford unnessecary damage which will happen with bad positioning because if you fade afterwards you are a easy kill target usually at GM/top 500.
Good Moiras with basically perfect positioning have basically 4 deaths/per 10 min usually. medicore/flex moiras usually more.

Blizzard needs our faith more than ever. Trust me things will get worse if everyone keeps blaming them and insulting them. Not that we just bend over and let them do what they want but we got to encourage them. I trust they can increase the skill floor

it is by far the hardest skill to learn, hence why all pro dps / flex players have years high level fps experience. stop trying to make excuses for your lack of skill

Not everyone is the same. Some people struggle with aim, some with positioning, etc. What is easy to some, is harder to others. In OW where you need EVERYTHING to be a decent player…it’s a bit silly to say some skills are more important than others.
A soldier with intense aim but no game sense can be as useless as a soldier who can predict the entire enemy teams’ ults and where they’re gonna throw them but can’t hit the wide side of a barn.
She’s pretty forgiving as far as positioning goes, but it’s still important. You need to make sure you’re in an optimal spot to heal your team and manage your resources.
A skill unique to her is balancing her heals. A good Moira won’t ever run out of heals.
Honestly, the hardest skill to learn heavily depends on the character.
With Mcree, yeah it may just be a matter of time and effort. But look at Pharah, a character that it can be crucial to predict where a targeted character will go in order to secure a kill.
You might be able to argue that prediction isn’t part of aim, but I would counter that, considering aim can be defined by how often you hit, prediction certainly is a factor of Pharah’s aim.
It well and truly does depend on the character. For some characters, like Sym, Torb, Moira, or Bastion, aim may not be as big of a part. Sym and Moira certainly need to ensure that they are targeting the right people with their beam, though. This may not be as hard as aiming with Mcree, but it does require a modicum of aim. Bastion needs to ensure as many bullets as possible hits a shield or an enemy, requiring at least some aim. Torb does require aiming with his gun. A good Torb can deal decent damage to the enemy team with his gun.
Of course, I’m not arguing that any of these characters take anywhere near the amount of skill as characters like Widow, Mcree, etc.
I’m merely showing that the value of good aim heavily depends on which character you play.
You all keep mixing up what the argument is about.
Its about which skill is harder to develop and use consistently

And you don’t seem to get that difficulty of skill set is subjective and unique to individuals. Maybe aim is the most difficult skill set for you to build. That is certainly not the case for everyone. Some people are able to quickly develop great aiming skills, but it takes them a very long time to fully comprehend proper ultimate usage and economy (which is a skill in this game). Vice of versa is also true. Stop painting things in black and whites and trying to pass your opinion off as fact.

Completely disagree, utterly ridiculous. I’m not sure how much you know about AI in Video Games, but shooting them in the head will do nothing to improve your aim.
Why? Because AI is inherently predictable.
Furthermore, studies show that what separates Pro Players in FPS games ( twitch shooting specific ) is response time.
Sure, you can drag your mouse to the head of a character, trick is, how fast can you go? An average person has roughly 250 miliseconds response time, gamers can lower it further down with 30, however Esports/pro players ( not limited to gaming ) have a base response of around 110ms.
So yeah, if you think shooting at bots can improve your aim or your response time you are demonstrably wrong.
Aiming IS the hardest skill, wanna prove me wrong? Why don’t you reach 140 response time with “training”, and I’ll watch 30 minutes of YouTube and have every hero I play’s perfect positioning on every possible map as well as a few guidelines for decision making in Overwatch, lets do that, huh?

This is very true. People with poor mechanical skills tend to know that their mechanical skills are poor. People with poor gamesense tend to think that their gamesense is terrific.
I kind of like your overall insight on the topic but I can’t specifically agree with the conclusion that aiming is super easy to improve. Maybe up to a certain point, which I suspect is tied more to natural talent than real skill, but beyond that I believe that many people work very hard at improving aim.

With some basic practice I don’t think it’s unreasonably difficult to get maybe top 10% in aim, but getting to be truly good does take an immense amount of skill and years of practice. Please don’t trivialize the skill involved.
LOLOLOLOLOLOLLOOL.They are telling people with good aim that aim is least important and look at them,no aim and in bronze.
