Ive noticed since the start of the recent seasons (before and after role que) that the opinions of many hero’s have changed with time, that hero’s like Doomfist and Moira are more tolerated in the competitive scene.
Yet Hammond (Wrecking Ball) seems to still be geting the short end of the stick.
I have heard players saying that “Ball is a Throw pick” many times, claiming that any person who mains the hero is a thrower, despite evidence contradicting that. I understand that to an outside looking in, Ball is an easy hero to feed on if not played correctly.
I have come to the conclusion that no mater how hard i try to convince people that ball can be viable, people are going to be stubborn; even when provided with evidence going against them.
At this point in the season, i’m unsure whats considered meta anymore. Is it Double Shield? Rein Zarya? I can’t tell anymore, but i know for a certain that the stigma against ball mains is rather harsh, and i would rather just mute everyone and play the hero i’m best at, then hear my team complain about a “throw pick” when its working just fine.
Am i in the right to think this? or should i just be the team player, even if the hero’s they want are the ones i cant play to the extent they need?
