Remove the ability to Crouch from the game? I mean hitboxes are very different already has is. What’s the point of having there?

No.

I use crouch to hide behind cover, dodge sniper bullets/arrows or just to be evasive.

Or simply to teabag players to tilt them and make them play worse so that I can win games easier.

The point of crouching in Overwatch is to sneak around without footstep noises announcing your presence. The tradeoff is moving more slowly.

Might as well never touch Reaper or McCree if you can’t crouch, they’ll hear you coming from the spawn.

Crouch is used tactically. I use it to hide from D.Va bombs on pt 2 Volskya all the time, and behind payloads, short walls, etc.

Have you ever seen Ana crouch?
Do you really want that adorable animation removed?

Saved my butt in my last game, as a matter of fact; ducked under a D.Va ult. It can also be useful for moving quietly.

I use it the most on Gibraltar attack; wedge my crouching Torb beneath the back of the payload and shottie face anyone that comes a-peekin’.

Crouch is used tactically.

Why would anyone even suggest taking away the tactical crouch?

Because sometimes it’s really, really funny.

Being chased by the whole enemy team and hiding behind a small object while they run past? Comedy gold.

I think someone was teabagged hard and is mad about it, but as match ended and there can’t be payback, decided to complain about it on forums to make self feel better.

“tactically” people spam it in hope that luck favors them in not getting headshot.

Eh. If it works, it works.

There’s not even crouch-jumping in this game. It’s basically useless except for trolling.

15

it makes no sense and nothing triggers me more than crouch spamming tracers

Because this is an objective based game, as such your positioning is a bit limited if you want to complete the objective.

Without the ability to crouch at all, Widowmaker would be absurdly powerful on Payload defense.

I mean, I use it to hide my footsteps if I’m flanking or pinned down. It’s actually used for that reason a lot more than you would think. It’s not really hurting anyone either…

NO, don’t remove crouch.

I use crouch to push the payload while everyone is busy killing each other.

19

I hide from self destructs and God Widows by ducking next to the payload

Works everytime

How else am I going to get down to Torbjorn’s height to look him in the eyes?
