Not Every Character Needs To Be Able to Aim

You’re just mean.

If you are insistent that every character needs to be able to aim or have a “high skill level”, then I believe you would be better off playing some other kind of traditional FPS such as Call of Duty or CS:GO where everyone has the same 6 shooty bang-bangs and camo pants. Sorry.

Overwatch is diverse not only in character design, visually and lore-wise, but also diverse in game play and mechanics. People who have never played a first person shooter are able to come into the game and pick up heroes like (old) Symmetra, Moira, Brigitte, Mercy, Lucio, Junkrat, Pharah, and feel like they’re doing something and having fun! If you want a game full of Soldier’s, Widow’s, Reaper’s and McCree’s, Overwatch really isn’t the place to be.

Anyway, go ahead, get mad, tell me I’m just a disgusting little Brigitte/Symmetra/D.va main there’s really nothing you could say that I haven’t heard before, but I guess I’m just one of those people that think contributing to your team and having fun and playing to win is more important that being a godly Genji, Widow or McCree with 60 elims a game, and it’s time to end the argument about whether “”“No brain no aim must be a Junkrat main”"" kind of characters “should be allowed in the game”.

I hope everyone’s having a chill day today by the way. Don’t forget to be positive :smile:

p.s I don’t know anything about traditional FPS plz don’t try to explain all the CS:GO characters to me I’m an Elder Scrolls/Dishonored girl I don’t play FPS’s :confused:

I wouldn’t like every hero being able to aim. OW is an FPS but not a traditional one. Like TF2. Team based shooter with MOBA feeling because heroes have certain abilities that makes them feel unique. For me, Call of duty was my first FPS but I really only play Treyarch’s because zombies mode baby! I’m excited for Black ops 4 to boot up Blood of the Dead and Voyage of Despair.

As a Brigitte main, I support this. I love swinging my flail and rallying my troops. :grinning:

Agree totally. Skill is great, but if the enemy uses their brain and switches to counter your hero, then you need to do the same, use your brain and switch. If you don’t switch, you dont get a free pass to whine about how you should win “because skill”.

Funny enough using your brain in general is needed if you want to compete higher. That’s gamesense which requires for every hero if they want have success with them, even in situations where they will have bad times. Sometimes gamesense can even help you land easy shots which is true for Widows.

Gotta love the people wailing about “muh skill” when they’re not even skilled enough to play a hero’s counter.

I mean so far every hero that didn’t need to aim was considered cancer,for a reason if I might add.

There are ways to make heroes hard to play without it having to be based on aim. We just barely have any of them in this game.

Brigitte has to aim
To attack even if it in a general direction

Brigitte has to Aim
Her health packs to make sure they go to the right place

Brigitte has to aim her whipshot
Brigitte has to aim her shied bash

The biggest argument stems from brigitte doesn’t aim like i think she should aim which is a flimsy argument

Yeah, you know why they’re considered cancer? Loud mouthed DPS one-tricks call them that when they refuse to switch to counter.

Every character realistically has to look in the general direction if we’re being honest :laughing:

People just don’t like Brigitte because she has a stun and it’s not as easy to pick her off because she’s made to be able to defend herself and her fellow supports lmao

And when players who are actually GOOD play aim-intensive heroes, those are called cancer too.

Remember the one widow player who was avoided by the entire community because of how good they were with her?

To the point they had to remove “avoid this player” so they could actually get into a match faster than once every couple hours

Any hero that is any kind of counter to a flanker or DPS is instantly labelled cancer, because there are so many people who main the flanker/DPS that once they feel they can be swiftly countered they will attack that hero for their abilities instead of switching.

aim
eɪm
verb
1.
point or direct (a weapon or camera) at a target.
2.
have the intention of achieving.

You forgot mei, hanzo, genji and moira and pretty much any character that’s either powerful in certain comps or a counter to certain DPS.

Also, torb, lol.
