This thread has become a battle of semantics basically. If I equate game sense and skill, I don’t see the issue. Let me try to clarify.
Game sense could be classified as skill, just not mechanical skill.
No generalizations here whatsoever, as the majority of Forum users do happen to be Support mains and therefore that’s why I labeled the Forums that way.
That has definitely been claimed in the forums… followed by a call to delete heroes such as Moira, Symmetra, and Brig.
However, to the OP’s post, I haven’t really seen much claim that mechanical skill shouldn’t matter, except when people think head shots should be scaled back.

I think it steem from the fact that non-hitscan character has been nerf over and over, meanwile hitscan are protected by their “skill ceiling.”
Bastion is just an unfortunate product of bad design. 
Personally I prefer to hitscan and play against them than the more moba type of character. 
I think a big problem is that some people seem to have this idea that characters like brig and moira not being in the game and everyone having to aim would make overwatch a much better experience, but the fact of the matter is that this isn’t a normal shooter and the playerbase has players from multiple different gaming backgrounds, so forcing everyone to aim, weither they play shooters often or not is just going to lead to frustration from both sides. That’s why the topic of mechanical skill is a back and forth because aim is seen as the only type of skill to some
There is no “hate for mechanical skill”. Acknowledging that a hero is not entitled to be overpowerd for simply requiring aim is not “disdain”. Get over your victim complex.
Forcing everyone to shoot isn’t great thing either.
I agree. 20 characters
Yikes. You really are grasping at straws with that one.
Yikes you really haven’t gotten over your victim complex
Grow up and quit trolling lol. I’m not victim to anyone ever. You just made a completely baseless argument despite this very thread teeming with cries for “nerfs” to hitscans.
Grow up and get over your victim complex lol.
People usually hate what themselves don’t have.
People dont hate mechanical skill, stop making stuff up
its just that hitscans are grossly overpowered right now, and people rightfully so want them nerfed
Baptiste can shoot the floor and heal multiple people.
On topic: 1,500 hour Hitscan main here. They’re all overpowered except Soldier. People are justifiably upset.
Intelligent argument kiddo.
Sad victim complex kiddo.
trolling/off-topic/thx for bumps?
People hate everything, that kill them/they can´t kill - brraindead heroes, mechanical skill, double barrier, now no double barrier, snipers, playing with no snipers… There is usualy that part of players, that can´t stand losing but unfortunately, they are allowed to write about it.
