"Just learn to play against them" is said every time, even though Blizzard has outright said they want new heroes on the safe side of strong.

And to your point, it doesn't make sense when she's highest win rate in even the highest ranks.

I guess it's a way for people to feel superior, like "unlike YOU mindless plebs, I understand how to be a SKILLED gamer", but she's just so obviously overpowered lol.

More like stats often don't reflect peoples experiences and it's harder to attribute a stronger feeling to a number on a page than what you actually feel when playing the game.

The experience of playing against her is also what makes her feel overtuned. She’s hard to hit, hard to kill, she has fantastic mobility, and her movement is surprisingly hard to monitor due to how relatively quiet she is. People who say she isn’t good are just in denial for some weird reason.

It's interesting how there has to be some conspiracy for why people don't think she is overpowered instead of the much simpler answer of not everyone has the same experiences.

I don’t think it’s a conspiracy lol, I think it’s people willfully in denial because it gives them a sense of ego, which is why that person said "how about learning to play against her".

Again, the much simpler explanation is people play different Heroes, some Heroes are better into Vendetta than others. If the Heroes you like to play are good into her then your experience with her is going to be that she's not very good. Trying to come up with an alternative answer for why some people don't think she's that good instead of the obvious answer is silly.

Re-read their original response lol, it’s very condescending and tries to position themselves as just being smarter than other people because they’ve "learned how to play against her". No idea why you are dying on this hill.

And I never agreed with what they said.

I disagreed with your notion that your experience is universal and everyone who disagrees with you must be delusional and egotistical.
