Mid to long ranged hitscans are insufferable to play against. Please, devs, give me a single patch where every single one of them are bugged so all of them have to be disabled for six months, thanks. Poke heroes can go to hell.
How the hell did I used to defend this crap??? This is actually insufferable. I’d rather play against prime Tracer for 10 years than play in poke for 5 minutes. For the love of god, devs, please make the poke playstyle completely unplayably garbage for a season or two, thanks. Idc if you need to make Ashe do 3 damage per shot. Just get rid of them all.

Nah it genuinely is so awful to play. Give me Sombra in her most unhealthy state over this crap. At least she can be shot at point blank range and die. At least I can react because I have a headset. Playing into long ranged poke feels like walking through a swamp filled with crocodiles. It’s a slog, and one false move, and you are dead.

Yup 
interactivity is kinda king in this game lmfao, nothing else is particularly fun
Always said the game is in it’s best state when Winston is the best hero to play.
Dive should be king. Followed by Rush/Brawl, then Poke.

I’d even take brawl/rush, because terrible support mains tend to cry and complain until dive is literally unplayable…

Rush is healthier anyways because Dive is fundamentally unhealthy even if it takes skill. My favorite metas are Rush, as a Tracer otp

Dive in Asia, Poke in America, maybe you’ll be lucky and see brawl in Europe.
Today after almost a week without play anything i went overwatch to enjoy a little bit of 6v6. Too bad 100% of my games i had or 1-3 long range hitscans, or hogs, or maugas or all of them. Look at the fuuunnn get melted for be visible 40 meters away, insta killed 20 meters by a hook and deal with imortal tanks that deal huge damage.
The gameplay was so horrendous that instead the 3 or 4 games i wanted i played like 20 just to seek some decent match without the worse ballanced heros in the game.

They love making there games COD codded. They really cannot come up with any other favorite heros that are NOT hitscan. Considering all hitscans are pretty much on the top of the pick rate list

What’s that I’m hearing? You want the next hero to be a hitscan DPS on the ‘safe side of strong’? You want another sojourn buff too?

Why not? Some variety, not just Emre, Ashe, Sierra stomping lobby again and again
what i truly want is for them to clone sojourn two times and then put one in the tank role and one in the support role
that way a team can have 3 sojourns at a time which will enrich and enhance the overwatch experience for all players

They buffed Ashe and Emre for no reason, and apparently refuse to walk back the changes. There’s no surprise why long range heroes are stronger to play right now. Doesn’t mean other heroes don’t also need nerfs.

Poke is so braindead, one-dimensional, and boring to play (esp as a tank) that it floors me how it’s so popular in NA.
Then I remember what nation makes up a huge chunk of NA and remember what game I’m playing and it all makes sense.
Canada is the reason we are in a poke meta?

I just said that for plausible deniability to cover my moosetracks.
Besides, if I wanted to I’d have said ‘biggest’ like a true size queen.

I’m surprised not even our most notorious data analysts brought up how healthy and balanced the hyperpoke meta is, because for whatever reason, somehow, the hitscan players are legit bad enough to not get more than barely over 50% winrate with their overtuned heroes. By the end of the last season, Sojourn, who really is decent, had about 44%! Kind of goes to show just how much assistance they need to be barely viable. I kinda want to see what happens when they get all those benefits and freebies taken from them.
