What is this team’s obsession with heroes likes of Brig, Moira, Sym, Torb, Iliari (pylon b.s.), Bap (lamp + massive health).
They get immense value for what they are.
Are we just eventually getting to a hero that you can play by just cloaing your eyes and putting the controller down? 50% win rate
I once read something from a player that changed my entire perspective on character design in Overwatch: “Overwatch is an FPS game for people who aren’t good at FPS games.” It’s absolutely true.
That’s why a great deal of characters in this game don’t require much aiming skill, but the ones that do usually give immense value through gunplay-skill rather than abilities. The people that probably are good at FPS games are playing something like valorant tbh.
Blizzard’s games have always thrived on taking an existing game, and dumbing it down for a more casual audience.
big ‘the only fair hero is my main’ energy
Roughly half of the games I’ve had, our tank grabs Reinhardt, Winston, or Doomfist, high-floor heroes that can get a lot of value if played well, but throw games if played even slightly wrong… and then play them very very wrong for the whole match.
Low-floor, high-value heroes are a means of compensating for the teammates who grab Rein, Widowmaker, Lucio, or whoever, and proceed to scrub the floor with their faces every respawn.
