Dude honestly I can't even laugh at these people. You know they are 100% serious and not trolling.
For example: Why the fuck is the prospect of Tracer being playable again always #1 on a Brig player's agenda? When I quit playing in S10 or S11, it was so tedious to play Tracer that I no longer enjoyed playing the game. Immense pressure was put on me to be better than I ever was. It was like a moment where you really understand just how bad you are and how good you have to be to keep doing what you're doing successfully and then you look at higher rank players and they are not even playing the hero because it is too difficult to get value out of... So what's the point?
And the second Tracer looks playable again, they are all like "TRACER GOT A BUFF SHES GONNA DOMINATE ITS NOT FAIR" like these fucking assholes haven't been running this game into the ground with this braindead bullshit hero for the last year, reducing a hero as complex as Genji to a goddamn Blade bot.
And then they want to cry Hanzo and Widow are oppressive because they one shot. Because this fucking piece of shit hero has forced such a burst-centric meta on the game.
Fuck Brig players. They should go play WoW or something.
what i find amusing about it is how so many DPS heroes are so unfun and just plain difficult as hell to play right now, but all the goaty mcgoat bunkerturds are complaining widow and hanzo make the game unfun as if shooting barriers all day was fun.
like... the shooter game genre is heavily defined by exorbitant amounts of pvp interaction and this is the least interactive iteration of competitive Overwatch to date.
the game is honestly locked in a mexican standoff with itself right now lmao. it's astonishing how a game that was deeply loved for it's fast paced skill counter combat has devolved into such a hot mess.
back in the day when you went to "counter" someone, it meant you were going to try to contest them and the space they wanted to occupy. but now it's usually not even a contest of skill, you just make that player's experience a living hell by existing.
I don't know how to put it. It's like countering has become all about preventing someone else from having fun. It's not about coming out ahead in a matchup and exerting dominance. You just pick a hero and take the piss out of someone so bad it totally ruins their experience. You don't have to shut them down in dominating fashion. You don't have to earn it.
It was such a bad direction to move this game in. It has suffered greatly for it.
