Haha, got ya, it’s not about Mercy rez!
Its about kills. Imho if you kill your apponent without seeing them – its no skills casual cheating 
like bringing knife to the gun fight. So: Torb turrets, Hanzo logs, sym’s turrets traps, Junkrat (sorry body) long range bombardment, Moira orb and etc – unhealthy elements for multi-player game.
Sadly, Widowmaker headshot is purest skill and its most hated by casuals element of the game.
Good positioning, strategic approach are signs of great minds! You need very developed neutral networks (in cognective science terms) to be effective in this areas…but root of this game is not about using your smart but slow brain (neocortex) , its about using your fast reflexes and train your body to do tiny but precise movements – aiming, running, jumping.
Lost the audience with that one.
-no sway
-unlimited bullets
-Ult is a literal wall hack
-Enemies forced into certain locations (harder to avoid 1 shot vs a deathmatch type game)

Skill is also acknowledging that separate routes to the point exist, denying those routes is the essence of spamming chokes.
Bouncing projectiles from walls to reach areas that you wouldn’t by any other means is also a skill as very few people actually think of it.

I dont really need audience, but you right, some of her helping abilities are cheating too
Most people don’t argue that aim isn’t a skill. What people argue is that it’s not the only skill. Positioning, movement, cool down management, ult tracking, baiting an ability, etc. There are lots of skills people use in Overwatch. Aim is just one of them.

Imagine dying to a random hanzo arrow in 2024. That’s reserved for metal ranks, your positioning was just trash

Babe you did not put sym turret trap in there… lol stop
It’s relevant to the topic? A lot of those abilities are not the strongest. But they are still relatively annoying and I believe they hit the nail on the head as to why that appears to be the case for many.
Aren’t you a diamond player? You’re basically plat anyway. We still catch hanzo arrows around a corner (not storm arrow) in gm. Slow your roll boss
Happens to me maybe once every 20 games :3
Still happens though is the point.
That’s some metal rank delusion. Yeah I’m diamond. That separates me frol metal rank players
Immediately killing someone with one hitscan shot from a hundred miles away could be the most skillful act in all of human history. It wouldn’t matter. It’s still obnoxious in this game, while turrets, traps, grenades, Moira etc. can be interacted with - and dealt with - by most of the cast.
If I wanted Widow-esque gameplay I’d still be playing CS.
Anyway, if someone dies to a non-line of sight attack in season nine with bigger health pools, I don’t think it’s the Junkrat or Sym that are at any kind of fault.
