  1. Nah sorry I give people on League shit for 1 tricking but if you 1 trick on Overwatch of all games that is fucking sad. The whole game is built around learning at LEAST a small pools of heroes

  2. The problem is when you know they’re just basically abusing the character
    Like, when someone is silver/gold on dps and/or on tank while also being master/gm on support because they one trick mercy,
    Classic example, that is

  3. Idk why people freak out as much about the T500 one tricks. I think at least a fifth of the Pharah one tricks might've been yznsa, and if I had enough skill to keep up, I wouldn't mind him or most of the other one tricks being on my team. That being said, I do see the issue in low ranks.

  4. Brig and Ball one/two-tricking makes sense because for a long period during OW1 they were the meta hero in their role. Brig especially was meta for almost two years, so it was foolish to pick anybody else. Ball saw a similar rise in popularity and strength during the final 18 months of Overwatch 1.

  5. I’m about to just one trick junk to top 500 aka maybe masters 😅😂😂 he’s so fun and kinda cheesy but if ur not getting consistent insta kill picks with his combo he can sometimes feel lackluster in damage

  6. Yeah but there are very few people that if they lock your char, they will give it to you and that is totally up to them. I think its easier to be a 1 trick in t500 than in lower brackets. It would take someone being a real dick to lock junk when aquamarine is in the lobby for example. I tried locking only sym for a whole season and no matter what, if you play enough games, someone is going to pick it and force you to play something else skewing the data. If you look at actual stats, there are a lot of people who are 1 tricks that still have time played on other char just because they didnt pick it in time. If someone has 95% of their time on 1 char, thats a 1 trick in my book.
