The thing is that it should. We have hard to play heroes that are based on mechanics. Non aim-based skill is a legit thing, but incredibly rare in OW.
I said in response to:
Not if you happen to like certain heroes. 
Players like Kolorblind could play Bastion to very high levels.
Skill is rewarded.
Kolor doesn’t really even play Bastion anymore… That, and they openly flamed a well known Bastion main from the forums, claiming Bastion is “Fine” and “Needs zero changes”
Basically, they need to prove themselves actually capable of playing Bastion without a T500 team pocketing them. -.-
Their opinion is literally “Bastion’s fine, just be in high level teams” Which is deplorable.
Oh, and called the forum users from the “Bastion isn’t being forgotten, he’s being ignored” thread, “Clowns” and said they (We) Just want an OP Hero.

I’m not saying Bastion is fine.
I’m saying skill is rewarded with higher SR.
If you’re good, playing Bastion isn’t going to dump you in Bronze.
If you’re bad, you’re not going to play T500 with anyone.
Tho, playing Bastion will literally give your team a statistical disadvantage overall.
It’s almost like Hanzo used tactics to maximize his character’s strength and minimize Bastion’s. Hanzo is rewarded for his tactical skill. Bastion is punished for ignoring tactics.
And all i’m saying btw, is that Kolor doesn’t get an opinion after their behavior towards the subject…
Literally called the devoted forum users “Clowns” and “Low elo players, lul” SMH.
Oh?
Like the tactics of shooting the enemy who keeps looking around the corner directly at you?
If you play Soldier 76, that ends differently.
If you play ANY Other Dps, that ends differently as you pre-fire at the corner, denying them the chance to keep spamming damage at the risk of death.
YET, Bastion… the only one who gives up their Mobility completely, Get’s punished for Holding their ground even at Super close range.
I simply cannot WAIT For your reply…
Bastion mains can talk a LOT.
Be warned… unless you want real detailed Data to sift through.
Like literally the most basic skill in the game is game knowledge. Which hero will win me the match. Which will do well in this comp on this map.
Knowing these things are a starting point. Not which requires most “skill”.
It’s utterly absurd to my mind that you’re basically suggesting some joke of a “handicap” system that allows you to earn more SR because you picked Ana over Mercy or Brig. If you’re good, that’ll happen anyway.
That’s because Bastion is bad. That’s a whole different problem.
Why the hell do you want someone at top 500 who doesn’t get that?!
If it’s like Fortnite, then I suppose you’ll be matchmaking with mobile Overwatch users on your team very soon.
Yes, which i’m addressing as it was Said that a Hanzo bursting down a Bastion is Lack of Tactics on the Bastion’s part
Which is simply not true, as the Data literally shows the matchup is statistically unfair due to the current mechanics.
I… didn’t understand this, sorry.
You can have a game based on knowledge and not have heroes that hand results to you. It’s absurd to me that the most logical thing isn’t that harder to play heroes should be the most rewarding when mastered while the purpose of easier to play heroes should be to teach players knowledge about the game.
It’s not a handicap system, it’s literally just balancing heroes to where their effectiveness matches how difficult they are to play.
Again that’s a balance issue. You’re singling out a top tier outlier against a bottom tier outlier. Also in a 1v1 situation.
What happens when Bastion has a great Genji flanking and dealing with Hanzo?
In what way does Genjo counter bast?With deflect? XD A good bast will shoot a few pellets to lure out deflect and then mow the genji down.
If you’re knowledgeable about the game you wouldn’t be stupid enough to limit yourself to just playing Tracer and Ana because they’re “high skill”. You’d know and accept that maybe you need some Mercy or Brig in your pocket.
Skill isn’t just about laser focusing like that.
I am addressing the obvious disregard of said balance issue…
Why are you telling me not to? lol.
Also, i’m talking about a 1v1 situation with the two heroes involved:
I Have to correct blatant wrongs in this world.
In other words you want non-mechanical heroes to be put such a large disadvantage that they can’t outplay you, this will prove that you are super skilled.

Define Skill and how they can be applied to heroes that need different minds sets and have different game mechanics.
