In the dynamic world of Overwatch 2, some ways of being defeated stand out as more frustrating than others. Especially with the extensive roster of heroes, some deaths can feel more annoying than the rest. While many players groan about one-shot defeats from characters like Widowmaker and Hanzo, a recent discussion emerged around which Damage heroes earn the most respect from the community.
A player's post on the game’s forum sparked a debate on the most admired Damage heroes. The surprising top pick was Zenyatta, but we'll set that aside for now.
The name that popped up often was Tracer. Known for her high skill ceiling, many feel it’s all about raw talent with her. As one player mentioned, "When you're taken down by a skilled Tracer, it doesn't feel unfair."
Other hitscan heroes, including Ashe and Cassidy, were also praised. They were appreciated for their reliance on player precision. Unlike the potential one-shot kills from Widowmaker and Hanzo, Ashe and Cassidy's kills come across as earned. A player noted, "If a Cassidy or Ashe consistently nails their shots and uses their dynamite or grenades well, they've earned that victory. It’s rare to feel upset by them, especially when there are effective counters."
In summary, it seems that for a kill to be "respectable" in Overwatch 2, players value the time and skill the opponent has invested.
