Did it multiple times but thank you

Why am I not GM with widow then?
Or doom
Or hanzo
If it requires no skill I don’t understand this.

One shots aren’t as powerful as Sniper on TF2 who can 1 shot the Heavy (the tank in TF2) with full charge + Tank being overhealed by the medic too lol

There is nothing wrong with oneshots, if you find yourself constantly dying to oneshots then perhaps the fault lies in your positioning.

lol people complain about Moira fade in this game which is 0.8 secs, meanwhile on Team Fortress 2 the Medic can be completely invincible with his pocket for 8 seconds haha.

Just think… people think Sombra is overpowered because of hack, meanwhile Spy on TF2 can insta kill people with a backstab lol but apparently hack is way more op… even though you’re still alive and can shoot her with primary (for most heroes anyway)

Because those heroes have a lot of RNG built into the kit. It’s not that they don’t require skill, it’s that the game isn’t very good at demonstrating their skill, because the data that can be collected about those heroes is really spotty.

You’re not in GM with Widow because even if you had real good aim, she and your team has next-to-no control over setting-up instances where she can demonstrate skill. Leaving you out-at-sea with a breeze.

Widow doesn’t take much skill, nor can she demonstrate much. She’s only even viable because she’s able to output inconsistent and massive spike-damage in the few instances which she demonstrates skill.

Except for the amount of value they can present without decent skill-expression. Which is quite fundamentally problematic for the game.

People who complain about Widow forget that most other FPS games have snipers that can one shot from chest level up and dont require charge up time

Widows one shot seems more balanced than some other games

Battlefield does snipers well by adding gravity to the shots. Or they did back in Battlefield 4. Unsure on the new title

Ill put CoD snipers into perspective

Imagine widow, having the ability of Soldier:76 sprint, with a sniper rifle that is always at 100% charge, and has the damage from a mercy boost

Yeah lol on TF2 sniper can kill anyone 150hp or less with a full charged body shot, so basically over half the cast lol. A fully charge headshot is 450 (you can only get to 450 health with heavy by being overhealed by Medic)

Pretty much every single fast ttk or one shot ability I can think of requires tons of skill or are some of the riskiest things you can do in the entire game(except for mabye road hog). Also these characters tend to need more mechanical skill or positioning awareness than characters that don’t have these fast ttks.

Like widow needs good aim, doomfist turns into feedfist if something goes wrong compared to junk rat just standing behind his team spamming and getting value that way

One shots are fine. The problem is the horrible spawn locations. Dying in an instant wouldn’t be frustrating if it didn’t take 30 seconds to make it back to the fight and resume having fun.

Also nobody believes mechanics are less skillful than positioning and awareness other than people who have bad mechanics.

So you mean head shots, pretty much? :face_with_raised_eyebrow: Cause that’s a good portion of the so called “one shots” are in this game. Like every other FPS game, are. Or it’s an ultimate, there’s only a select few that aren’t either one of those.

These are all the “one shots” if your wondering.

  • Doomfist’s Meteor Strike (on non-tanks, center)
  • Doomfist’s Rocket Punch (into a wall, and on non-tanks)
  • Charged Headshot from Widow (on non-tanks)
  • Hanzo Headshot (on non-tanks)
  • Ashe Headshot (on squishies)
  • Rein Charge (into a wall, and on non-tanks)
  • Reaper Headshot (on squishies)
  • Hog right click Headshot (on squishies.)
  • Torb Primary Headshot (on Tracer)
  • Mei’s Secondary Headshot (on Tracer)
  • D.va’s Self Destruct
  • Rat’s Tire
  • McCree’s Deadeye
  • One shot from Bastion’s Ult (on squishies)
  • One swing from a Nano Bladed Genji with any other DMG boost applied. (on squishies)
  • Pulse Bomb (on squishies)
  • Environmental Kills.

(Yes, I realize technically combo’s aren’t technically a one shot. But I felt if I didn’t include it people would bring it up anyways.)

  • Mercy DMG boost + Discord orb combo (on squishies)
  • Mercy DMG boost + Pharah / PharaMercy (on Tracer)
  • Roadhog’s Hook + Shot + Melee combo (on non-tanks)
  • Doomfist’s Slam + Shot+ Uppercut + Shotx2 combo (on non-tanks)
  • McCree’s Flashbang + FTH combo (on squishies)

Might be outdated, pasted from older thread. Does not include Echo, even though I don’t think she has one that’s part of her own kit. Excluding her Ult because it just copies others.

Ehhhhhh I don’t know, it’s weird to imagine the game without one shots tho. Kind of a necessary evil for some of the other stuff in the game if you ask me

115

they 100% belong in this game (as a tank player who complains about dps just about every day)

116

you seen that hitbox?
its like your pushing away balloons
I would argue it takes more aim
