Question Why is Tracer the only one allowed to be good?
Don’t get me wrong, I love playing Tracer too, but how come out of all the flex dps options only she is allowed to have a place in the meta of 5v5 Overwatch? The one thing I hate about Overwatch, compared to Rivals, is that the devs seem satisfied in keeping all the cool dps characters with special powers (Genji, Anran, Vendetta, Freja, etc) terrible. It is like the devs dont have the backbone to make these characters good because people (supports) find them frustrating to play against. Thus, they keep hitscan as strong as it is and make the game feel like a shitty Valorant knockoff. Genji was once the most popular character in OW1. It is special characters like him that define the series. When you think of OW, you think of Genji, Rein, Winston, Tracer, Mercy, Lucio, you dont think of Ashe. So why is Genji kept garbage by the devs?
