Then play a damage dealer.
Or don’t ask for a “SUPPORT”.
Check it out in the test range my doggie. You can move your cross hairs off the target and still be locked onto them
It may not be as drastic as a mercy beam or the old sym lock on, but hence the word “soft lock”
What I really don’t get tho is why people are so sensitive about the word “lock on”. Who cares if its a lock on or not? Y’all need to stop worrying about what the elitists think
You’d rather not improve?
The game should change for you, instead of you learning how to get better at the game?

your crosshair is not the hitbox. Once it leaves the hitbox it stops damaging. There is a definitive on and off barrier that does not change. … “my doggie”.
Look… this argument ALWAYS happens. there’s a video… there’s every evidence that other than a visual snap to the center of the target being hit it acts EXACTLY as a straight beam.
Because language matters and perception matters and people arguing WRONGLY that it has any sort of aim assist or tracking other than you being able to wave the admittedly, HUGE beam around , creates pointless arguments.

What damage dealer locks on?
Lock on will either be massively overpowered or really weak, as it was the case with old Symm.
It’s not a good mechanic.

Nope, I’m perfectly fine being a boosted egirl mercy main
Good for you, but it doesn’t mean that the game should become easier just because you chose to stagnate.

I don’t want the game to be easier for me, I just want a lock on beam

It doesn’t act like a lock on beam. It acts like a regular beam.
Don’t trust the animations, it tells a different story.

And the other skill doesn’t translate as well. That is the reality.
If you give a DPS hero a lock on beam that can beat GM level players that hero will face roll bronze to gold which is why making a hero like that is a bad idea.
You wont need any other skill the raw output will just overpower players. That is the problem
Yes, Yes it does
situational awareness, Positioning, Gamesense, are skills that translate well between heroes,
and there are heroes who are way more intensive on these skills than mechanical, For example, Reinahrt, Or winston, And yet their not rolling over Bronzes
yes because those heroes have a lock on DPS that has any sort of range.
There are both tanks.
I’d rather not have any lock on beams in the game. So, I request that they never again add one to the game again.

Winston has a “lock” on beam with 8m range
not really a lock but still
and rein doesnt even need to aim his hammer swing either, Whats really the difference?
I think it’s better to learn to be better with mechanics than ask to get something easier made for you.
Ok fine, You can get short range DPS that is tank level that locks on as long as they hero is a big target so they are easy for all players to shoot.
But I doubt that is what they are asking for
