Iron man main here asking a question: Why am I hated?

[BasedNameHere]

I play iron man because I like projectile characters like soldier from tf2 and characters with interesting movement, of which iron man is both. He's very fun to play and very risk/reward since he's pretty fragile. The biggest problem I find is often that opponents go out of their way to try and counterpick me with characters like iron fist, hela, star lord, etc just because I'm enjoying a character. My only guess is his ult is powerful (let's be honest, scarlet witch's ult is just the same but better) and his ability to fly around, but I don't try to use those more often than I need too. Using a character for their ultimate is kind of pointless since you feel deadweight for most of the match. All this is me saying I like iron man for his primary fire mostly. My question is why do people hate iron man so much they go into tunnel vision for him when storm can do the same thing and gets less hate?

Edit: I found out the reason. Iron man is a bit of a tough character to pin down and people hate him because no one else wants to try to kill him. Honestly, I think that's kinda fair.

That's not the reason at all. it's because you get a lot of free damage off and half the team doesn't ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ look up unless someone pings you; so the players that do care about you will go out of their way to make sure they deal with you themselves, since we historically cannot rely on the team to do so even though we can hear you shooting the entire time and you would think that would tell people you are there but still they don't ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ look up.

he literally has a noobtoob as primary fire

Because every other flying shooter in the game is barely a threat, meanwhile your auto attack is a tacticle nuke the size of an entire point while storm and everyone else shoots extremely narrow and weak damage shots.

His attacks are nowhere near the size of the point; even his Ult isn't.

Also most people play Storm wrong. She is not meant to be at Iron Man height because the lower she is the wider her buff area, plus her attacks pierce and can hit multiple enemies in a line. She's easy to shoot down, but if you know how to play her she is quite nasty for damage and aiding the team.

nothing really wrong with iron man, in fact I can most of the time 1 v 1 him as a cloak and dagger, the issue is that I feel like I have to 1 v 1 him as a healer because 9/10 times my insta lock dps team mates are so ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ that they can only hit tanks who are getting perma healed while ignoring iron man for 2 games straight.

Now that the tier lists are shifting, iron man is considered higher then what he was. especially in high level play, same as wolverine.

Same vibe as Pharah main asking why everyone hates him

[Belnades]

You're being hated because tier lists told every npc to do so.

I dont hate Ironman but I just cant understand why most players on my teams just dont care to shoot him when he's on the other team when they clearly see him.

I've played Ironman like 2 times so far, didn't like my experience with him, he looks fun to play but the problem is when I've played him I was getting focus every time I enter a room or if I was in an open space.

He's hated because he's pretty easy to play and obnoxious. Combine that with the Hulk team up and there's a reason Hulk is banned in higher tier play. (Because Iron man becomes way stronger)

You basically have to counter-pick him if you don't want him just being annoying all game. If Storm was actually good at long range DPS, it'd be the same issue. You have a hero that can hide in the sky basically just peppering people with shots. There's a reason they made their flying speed incredibly slow.

Oh and of course. Gamers hate looking up.

flying + projectile shooter + one hit kill ult

& you’re seriously wondering why he’s unlikeable as hell? he’s cheap

yes but those strengths are his major weaknesses as well. flying means hes a sitting duck to anyone with decent aim. projectile shooter means very little since thats ~95% of the roster. though his ult is a 1 shot it can be blocked FULLY by iron fist, can be dodged with ease by anyone, and he stuck in that spot until the ult explodes which again makes him a sitting duck and easy to kill.

Ironman get hate not because of strengths but his weaknesses. there are multiple of other character thats can do his job 10x better without the falloffs.
