You don’t need to secure kills as tracer to get value.
Tracer is a flanker and part of that is, distracting to the enemy from the back line and to harass the supports.
If you, as tracer, have even TWO teammates turn around to deal with you or fend you off, that’s TWO teammates not helping the frontline in the price of 1 for your team.
That is huge when your team knows to act on that.
IMO, the only thing that takes much skill effort for him is avoiding damage. He’s one of the easiest heroes to do damage and get value out of it.
I agree as a hitscan main she is way way way easier to play than genji
A game like OW cant have all Hereos viable at the same time, its impossible. The current Meta is the one with the most hereos viable since years
My entire hero pool other then tracer and cree are not viable.
Iam pretty sure most Hereos you mean are actually viable. I mean, even Sym is viable in the current Meta on some maps (not just for tp)
My hero pool is basically the entire dps roster, but my best heroes are projectile characters(genji, pharah, doom, hanzo, and junkrat.) It feels like with the exception of hazno I can’t really do anything with those heroes.
You didn’t mention Orisa, which the other half of the tank meta and - aside from aiming and knowing when to pull - isn’t the most skillful tank on the roster.
What Orisa enables, makes the gameplay quite boring, stale, and the skill of Sigma isn’t really expressed to its fullest; sitting in a bunker in a defensive position is just “stay safe and shoot” simulator.
So, while most of the heroes in this meta do require skill, the playstyle being enforced doesn’t really require it.
It all depends on what you prioritize as skill. For me, personally, the hardest and most skillful is Ball. If you value a more aim-oriented hero, Sigma requires the most aim of all the tanks to get maximum effectiveness. 
I’d say Orisa, but she just fires off a constant laser beam. It’s not as hard to aim with her, for me. Idk about everyone else tho.
People doing stupid things and the matchmaking is what makes this game not fun.
Orisa really isnt Meta anymore. SHe is a good option in some cases, but really not Meta anymore
We have following Hereos VIable (viable doesnt mean good, it means they get used in some cases (Very niche cases dont count)
*means they are very close to very niche, but still have multiple uses
Tank:
Orisa, Rein, Ball, Hog, Dva, Zarya, *Winston
Dps:
Echo, Ash, Cree, Tracer, Hanzo, Symmetra, Mei, Torb, Sombra, *Widow, *Reaper, *Soldier
Supports:
Bap, Zen, Mercy, Brig, Lucio, Moira, *Ana
(27 out of 32/ 22 out of 32 if you dont count * Hereos)
This is based around Pro play and influenzed a bit by ranked, becauce In ranked you can get even with the worst Dps in Top500 (Bastionmain with Bastion, YZNSA on #1 with Pharrah) so I looked more at Pro play becauce thats the place where you are limited to the best Hereos.
We had so many Metas where only a few Hereos got played, during Goats we saw nearly no diversity and same with doubleshield. In Rein Meta we also saw only 4 different dps 3 supports and 2.5 tanks and I can list so many other examples, having so many Hereos viable even in pro play is so rare
I agree. After the barrier nerfs in December 2019 only GM and up was playing DB, and every nerf after cemented this as those heroes in lower ranks became throw picks ever more the farther it went but people still complained about it and the heroes in it.
GOATS was and always had been a skillful meta where eventually only OWL was playing it but people still complained about it and the heroes in it.
Double sniper was played with some of the highest skill floor heroes (excluding Mercy but her high skill ceiling needed to be met in order to play her right) but people who never even saw a hint of the meta complained and still complain about it and the heroes in it.
Dive isn’t and was never the perfect meta people try and say it was because it still choked the meta from OWL down to diamond and if you couldn’t play those heroes as well as the ones you preferred you were SOL.
tmw hog was meta all the way down to silver. [shudders]
Bro you are gold/plat ANYTHING is viable down there.
Just becauce a Tank is good it doesnt mean he isnt hard
Most PRos consider Tracer being the Hero with the highest skill ceilling
You want to nerf Widow and Hanzo even further? They arent even that good currently
I didn’t read this yet but this meta takes out Rein Zar Dva, Lucio, Genji, Hanzo, Ana, Moira, Pharah, Doom, and a few more, and that’s not healthy
Yes, that’s the point. Read the post.
All good dude. Keep on slaying them.
Maybe the word bias is a good way to describe the perfect meta. I mean in a way, its not uncommon for a player to favour a particular meta if the heroes that he/she play are a viable pick. Because in general it’s fun to win and not fun to lose in a competitive game. The perfect meta for the skill crowd is the meta where their “skill” hero is the best option and where all other options are unviable, or in other words a meta where (skill hero) is dominant because (reason) and for no other purpose that anything deemed not skill is worthy of ridicule.
I partly jest, but there are people like that in this community.
I’m a Sym main, and I “enjoyed” (loosely because that meta was dog) Double Shield 1.0 for the 2 weeks because it was the first time I could use Sym and not be regularly flamed in chat for picking Sym. Otherwise I can relate and still agree with people who say that meta is good or bad.
then read it, because you missed THE WHOLE POINT.
