Overwatch, mechanically, is one of the easiest shooters ever released. Abilities pretty much give most heroes ways to lower their skill floor. The reason that I say Widow is the exception is because she literally only has a venom mine and a 12 second grapple lol. The only way for her to have real value is with her gun lol. In order to do bare minimum, you need to practice. Outside of that…Overwatch, mechanically, is an extremely easy game. What on earth is y’all’s problems arguing about skill bullcrap? Y’all are playing the training wheels game of shooters.

Widow is still mechanically easy compared to other shooters since you’re not punished as hard for missing in most cases.

This is true lol. Though, most shooters don’t have to deal with like 50 barriers or immortality…or hypermobility.

Compared to many other snipers, Widow is pretty easy as well.
- Has strong mobility for a sniper
- Can shoot continuously without unscopping
- Has a very forgivable rifle clip size
- Wall hack ult
Yeah I know you said mechanically, but there are other heroes which require strong mechanics AND gamesense to get value out of.

That’s Paladins
I thought this ‘OW is the easiest shooter’ got put to rest when OW players went to Valorant and did pretty well even against CS players. OW having abilities doesn’t inherently make it easy because your enemies also have abilities. By that same logic Valorant is also a baby game.
Characters have more forgiving hitboxes than CS or COD because there are also fewer oneshots, characters move faster and move in 3 dimensions.
Movement is a mechanical skill too, and it takes all sorts of forms in OW (some easier than others) while in CS/Valorant it’s mostly just strafing more gooder.
these are all baby games compared to Tribes and Quake tho.

How is a 12 second grappling hook hypermobile? If this were the Kraber pilot from Titanfall 2, sure, but like…Widow’s grapple is literally the only way to not make her a joke against Tracer, Genji, DVa, and Winston lol.

Valorat is like playing on slowmo even for a CS player lol.
On PC every shooter is mechanically easy af

Eeeeh I’d say CS is a little harder. Moving and shooting in that game is way more viable in that game, I hear, so you’ve got more people dodging shots.
Also I’d LOVE to see Tracer mains try to pick up Scout in TF2 lol.
Tracer
Wdym, Tracer’s skill floor is stupidly low. Don’t let the Tracer mains fool you. Her HP is negligible when she has the most unpredictable ability in the game.
Ok but who cares about floor? I dont plan to play the game at gold anytime soon

My point is that people complain that this game is too hard lmao. Boi, this game is easier than most shooters. It feels like half the forumers here want a “press Q to get the victory screen” button lol
Are you… being serious? How so

Blink. Blink is too forgiving. Sure, her skill ceiling is high, but to pick her up, just don’t 1v6 and you’ll be fine unless you’re against Cree lol.
There I fixed it for you 
Both are tbh. Blink should not be able to go off 4-5 times per duel. I hate the idea of her concept. Her concept is literally a small girl that is impossible to hit if played right. It’s such a terrible idea. Especially since she sacrifices nothing outside of HP that she doesn’t even need lol.
