Remove aimbot skills

[Belgard MaxKell]

Aimbots are a thing, specificallly aimbot skills. Apparently, aim is not to be rewarded, just holding a button is. Avoiding enemy damage isn't to be rewareded, because Aimbots don't care about dodging.

First it was Torvold, cause a Flanker trying to contrest the point as a last ditch attempt was a big no no. Then came Lex with his aimbot skill, along with a massive wall hack that was perment duration for whomever was to be focused.

Then came Zhin's Ultimate, pull in, can't get away without anti-CC card or item, only hope is that your team notices your predicament.

Now comes Lian. Right click, instant damage. Range doesn't matter, neither does aim, if the smallest amout is visible, right click away. Yes,there is damage attenuation, but that isn't much consolation.

Nothing ruins a flank tanks day like an aimbot, and that is what the Flankers are. Blink tanks, get in fast while avoiding damage, deal damage, then retreat to heal. Aimbots take away the tank part of that, because all the mobility in the world won't mitigate aimbot damage.

For all the grief that High Rez got for the massive mobility cards, and rightly so as it robbed counter play from all but the twitchiest and best aim tracking of players, the counter point of mobility robbing should also be within their realm of understanding.

It's not original, it places all the burden on the opposing player for getting all of their shots right while requiring the aimbot side just has to click away, and it isn't fun to deal with.

Just because Overwatch has almost no balance or decent counterplay beyond hero switching doesn't mean that Blizzard is good comparison point for High-Rez to rest on their current work. It's just lazy. High Rez can do better than this.

Yeah but think of the console players. We need more auto aim abilities and less movement to satisfy the new comers.

I played way more on console and I can say, it's still pretty ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ when you can shoot the most evasive targets just by pressing one button.

It's funny how Lex is supposed to be 'upholding the law' when he's using cheats.

Honestly, the auto-lock abilities are secondary to the servers themselves. If they ran better than 26hz servers this probably wouldn't be so bad.

Generally aimlocking champions are balanced out by being super soft..my Lian may be able to snipe with hitscan, but she goes down in 2-3 hits from any Flank.

Lex autoaim skill does not so much damage...
Main attention was about Lian with legendery card which allows to autoshot whole team whlie doing slide. It means you can do free 2k damage if whole team in sight without any effort.

Console uses Controllers, so they can't use the same balance. Less fine motor control, means they need to have differnt mechanics.

Less AOE range for projectiles, less mobility and or sustain for the flank tanks, et cetera. Controllers especially hamper tracking, so automatic fire weapons like Victor and Kinessa will suffer more.

Yeah, but the default aim assist (that you can't turn off) on console is really strong. Its like getting slapped in the face when an enemy runs by. I often miss my Drogoz spit because the camera is everywhere from the aim assist.

I won't even bother making some sensible arguments for this pointless thread, let other players with enough patience explain it for me
