Regardless of how good your positioning is, they always find ways to ruin everything that makes this game enjoyable.
You’re out of position, you die.
You’re in position, you die.
You walk out of spawn, you die.
You hide behind walls? Oh look! Hanzo gets to flank at a ridiculous range and one tap you
You’re with your team behind a giant wall next to a choke? Grapple Hook Shot/Wall Climb would like to introduce themselves
It isn’t fun or fair. Literally all it takes to get good with them is learn how to aim (which is a requirement for getting good with any hero) and bam. You get free SR.
If this is going to be the future of this game, then this doesn’t seem like a game to continue.
Blizzard took one step forward by nerfing barriers and then another step back by removing the counter play they provided against snipers and not providing any compensation for it.
More than half of the games I played today consisted of a sniper on the enemy team and if our sniper couldn’t out-snipe them, GG. Automatic SR loss. No reward.
Dude i get that you’re mad salty but seriously this is just ridiculous.
They already nerfed widow, why they should nerf them just cause you keep making these kinda threads where you just whine and whine more like unpleasent forum keyboard warrior does?
And btw, if you still keep dying to them it’s on you and your teams fault, not them.
Whining on the forums wont make you better at this game or really accomplish with this attempt of yours of wanting nerf something you dont like :))))
If anythign this is just one of those threads where players like you wants these heroes nerfed to the ground cause they find them uNfUn tO plAy aGainSt or some other silly reasons.
Just look at this guys history of his threads what he’s done in such short time too.
Just whining about how they should nerf them even more, etc.
And just by looking at the attitude he has on this threads he’s just salty about someone killing them. Which is funny cause you’re suppose to kill enemies on this game regarless of what abilitys, etc heroes have in this game.
Then how about you “learn how to aim” and reap up all this free sr you’re talking about.
Barriers are not the only thing in the game that counters Widow/Hanzo, but if thats your one-sided mentality than so be it.
This game doesn’t give out participation rewards like your 3rd grade soccer team, you lose, you get penalized, you win ,you get rewarded. That’s called competitive.
Blizz already nerfed badly some characters because was not fun play vs them.
BUT you failed on an important detail, that only works if the character that has no fun playing vs certain character is Genji or Tracer (main motives the nerf/changes on characters like Symmetra and Brigitte)
If the character not having fun is not Genji or Tracer…well…bad luck xDDD
And pointing the topic, in general snipers make the game unfun since usually is an instant death, you cant move freely and, in case of being dead, they will come back really fast to **** you since can do it from far
“You are out of position, you die”. Well, not the snipers fault.
“You’re in position, you die” Then you were not in a good position.
“You walk you of spawn, you die.” Spawns have multiple exists, use them.
“You hide behind walls, get killed by a flanking Hanzo”. Seriously, if that is a major problem, then your team is not doing their job securing flanks.
“Hiding behind wall next to choke” another case of not securing flanks, and low reaction. If in a milisecond you get killed by a Sniper, you just have an insane good sniper against you.
If you are low ELO, git gud (how do you get killed by snipers in silver?)
If you are high ELO, stop complaining, you just can’t handle good snipers. You are still better than 99% of the playerbase.
The moment the devs used “too oppressive” as a reason to nerf Sombra, who already was unviable, and Dva’s DM, was the moment they opened Pandora’s box.
What’s stopping the players from trying to convince the devs that other heroes, such as Widowmaker and Hanzo, are “too oppressive” as well?
I dunno man. As a tank main Hanzo, Widow, and Ashe are laughable picks. They deal great burst damage sure. But as long as your team is shooting at them, they run away or get melted. Honestly i see posts like this all the time and i think the people that make them need to do a little self reflection and see what they did wrong before they toss out these rediculous comments about nerfs.
imagine thinking snipers are OP in a double barrier meta.
even outside of double barrier comps the sniper classes are the easiest in the game to get around if they even are being played by a pro. this is u bro
Can we take a moment to appreciate the massive turd that Tac Visor is?
So - It cuts you off from landing criticals ENTIRELY and forces you to only do the most base damage of the shot, AND at anything further than 3 meters away your helix rockets ALSO BECOME USELESS because it will miss 90% of the time when the enemy is walking in a predictable line that had you not pressed the “Ultimate” button (that is actually a nerf) you would be able to hit it, and take out targets quickly through good aim.
Soldiers ultimate is actually a bad joke. “NERF VISOR ACTIVATED”.
I find it hilarious that people are complaining about other players being good at the game so they want it nerfed. Look at it this way. Snipers have to shoot you with a charged shot in the smallest hit box on your character and a tiny projectile. Characters like roadhog can just walk up and up pull you out of position into the enemy team and oneshot you and if you dont die then you’re in the middle of an enemy team. Not to mention it takes 2 people to kill the guy because he’s a tank.
The best option that I see to fix snipers rather than just taking away one shot kills is to add recoil and spread to their weapons. When Widow takes a shot her gun should recoil significantly in an upward ark causing her to have to re-aim for the next shot. With Hanzo since he has to fire arrows have it so the longer he holds his shot the shakier his aim becomes. Making it harder to hit his shot, also make it take longer for him to load up a new arrow. Kinda like he has to grab one out of its quiver. Then with his other ability make it so it has spread. Every shot gets less and less accurate because he is firing so quickly he has no time to recover from firing the last shot.
