Hey man, Symmetra's gun has two fire modes and her ult comes in two flavours!

That shit is hard to get straight in your head. Took me three months and over thirty youtube videos to figure out. Convoluted as fuck.

Just play Soldier 76, he was designed to be as easy as possible for players to pick up and play, especially any players who have come from other multiplayer shooters. He even has a noob tube.
Yeah, but you have to aim with him and the helix rockets don't instantly kill people so it's too hard for Wynn to "be engaged."
It is the mark of a poor forum poster to attack the person rather than the claim; puts dirt on your shiny Inferno badge.

Soldier 76 is pretty generic for me so I don't use him. He doesn't have anything unique going on for him beyond his healing ability and a low-key ult. He's got cosmetics and out-of-game lore but... that doesn't really do enough for me gameplay-wise to enjoy him. 76 is a boring bland blob of tofu that is built upon the premise of being FPS Character Man. Still more fun than Mercy.

On the bright side they finally gave Junkrat a buff that might make him viable from hereon.

Ladies and gentlemen, I present to you Wynn. Complains that Overwatch is too complicated, but won't play the simplest heroes.

I wonder if that could possibly be because finding successful with Soldier 76 requires a measure of skill? Hell, even his aimbot ult requires some timing to avoid pumping it fruitlessly into a tank's defenses.

Unlike, ohhh, saaaaay... Roadhog, with whom one could spam hooks and let the ridiculous hitbox do all the work for you?

Nah, couldn't be.

It's funny, I never actually minded playing against old Roadhog. Usually when I got hooked I felt like it was my fault for either getting blindsided or failing to anticipate the hook. In fact the only times when I felt like his hook was bullshit was when I was playing him and I'd pull someone down off a ledge or around a corner despite not even having line of sight.

I get much more frustrated by McCree flashbangs or Hanzo headshots. Remember when they reduced the hitbox on Hanzo's arrows down to the size of the arrow and he become worthless because people suddenly had to actually hit their targets with him?

Incidentally, Roadhog is getting a buff. His heal can be used on the move and he gets a massive reduction to incoming damage while he's using it.

There is a difference between being generic and being simple.
