"Skill activists" are going to kill this game

What about those who like heroes that are unique and don’t require you to aim? What’s wrong with that? You still need to have skill to play Mercy effectively. Moira still requires skill to play correctly. Skill will always conquer skill every single time.

He does not want a skill based game, he wants an aim-based game. I hate this argument; however, I do genuinely wish those people would go play CoD. That is like the only skill you need in that game unless you count headglitching as a “skill.”

I main hit-scan and want more heroes such as Moira and Brigitte because they bring something else to the table. I do wish the hit-scans got a bit more quality of life buffs though. McCree not having the stun animation, Soldier reloading while sprinting, Widow’s hook reverted. Small stuff like that. You never know though, maybe that would just be making the game more skilless. :rofl:

very little and thus the other more skill requiring heros should be supperior.
this is what a competitive game should be, now if u like mercy and moira u’ll have to do alot of efforts to rank up just like if u were playing a high skill hero, and that’s how it should be (on ranked ofc).

Nope, because it would create more problems than “solve” (tbh the stun should be changed to a cripple), also between the center of Winston’s bubble and its effective area there’s a big area to walk on, if you’re trying to stun a Winston through his shield, that’s on you and its not like the shield itself has a lot of HP.

It’s not like he shield dances or anything.

oh look, you just found the counterplay that the stun has now, clap clap clap.

Timed right and you could stun the Winston. Timed wrong, that’s your own fault.

On point again, it’s not hard to understand what that change brings to the game. Instead of “I will stun and kill you no matter what” now there will be counterplay to it.

Exactly. Thank you for having common sense.

And people who think like this are one of the main reasons why this game is becoming increasingly stale. If said heroes are supposed to be more rewarded than other heroes, why do the less skilful heroes exist. For show? Another question; your logic doesn’t apply to Reinhardt and Hammond. Why is Reinhardt more rewarding when Hammond requires more skill but is less rewarding. :thinking:

Counterplay is wonderful, and the barrier-proofing is probably the best change of the lot even if it makes GOATs stronger, the other changes though, are either overkill (damage reduction) or negligible (healing tweaks).

When talking about tanks, maybe (gotta count focus fire from allies on that one), Tracer and Genji, nope.

the game became stale with goats, goats is “ez comp” rush the obejctive to win, it requires no skill whatsoever, and only exists bcz the high skill meta (dive) was blocked by an overpowred hero.

the meta makes it that hammond is useless rn, while rein is the best hero to shield his 2 other tanks and healers.
once dive comes back hammond will be great.
you clearly never play hammond tbh.

tbh BO4 is having some issues with skill

thanks microtransactions for making zombies mode have a pay2win feature with the elixirs while nerfing the stock variants.

Bo1 best zombies imo next to Bo3

For every hero, this would be a hyperbole since shield bash takes away either 1/3, 1/4 or more than 1/4 of your health.

You know what’s worse than goats and has been in the game way longer? Dive. :unamused: It’s practically the same concept. Rush the enemy team and win the fight as quick as possible.

Sorry but overall, Reinhardt is more rewarding than Hammond. Now, I can’t tell if you’re being serious. It’s the first time someone has tried to argue that Hammond is more rewarding than Reinhardt or that Hammond is similarly rewarding with Reinhardt. :eyes:

That’s what game sense is for when playing as the healer/support role
Heroes such as Mercy and Moira have kits meant to only keep themselves alive from certain situations, but to help coordinate with teammates.
Even if from the outside it seems like they have less skill, it’s hard as hell to play support when the enemy team could focus and target. It’s skillful to actually have game sense to avoid enemy fire, abilities, or to keep your teammates up throughout teamfights.

Game sense is a skill that not only support heroes have, but so does every other hero in the game.

Honestly hate what they did to Zombies… They removed Juggernaught and now made it so you can only have four perks. Then there’s the whole Easter egg thing and :triumph:
BO2, BO3 and BO1 will always be my go-to.

did you know? dive was only on prolevel :slight_smile: and seagul is here to confirm that :slight_smile: u could play whatever u wanted bcz dive is … HIGH SKILL an yet a lot of people on ladder tried to play it bcz guess wat? people want to improve and get good :slight_smile: u dont do that with brig and goats do u? no.

comparing an off tank to a main tank ? :rofl::smiley: hammond is an off tank with a 1shot aoe combo the ability to bcz a 1k pls hero a lot of cc and mid range damage.
when played around other dive heros he can be awfully oppressive specially against rein :slight_smile: but you dont play him to see that.
like i said hammond is off meta (maybe will be buffed? his ult is kinda bad) but he is a very good off tank. not a main tank but an off tank.

if we follow ur logic zen should be bad compared to mercy since he has lower heals lmao

LUL, no it’s not.

I’ve done it recently in a few games even, and I’m in gold. Worked every single time. If it was so successful now, how would it not be earlier in the game?
