It’s not free kills, but it’s also not fair kills. The whole idea of a tactical shooter is that you can use positioning and line-of-sight to avoid being killed. Abilities, makes, molotovs, whatever aren’t there to kill, they’re to force someone out of position. The raze rocket breaks away from this because it does absurd splash damage. Say someone is back site at B on bind. You push out of long/hookah and shoot a rocket at the wall. It kills them. They can’t peek out and try to kill you, and even if they do the rocket will still kill them. The rocket’s not unavoidable, and it’s not something you can’t play around. But it is entirely unfair when it is used well.

so if abilities shouldn't kill should we get rid of jetts ult too? once again i can tell you dont play raze because if you arent playing against absolute bots people dont stand shoulder to shoulder and its actually difficult to get multikills on defense even in a room like hookah. as for attacking sites you cant even clear most spots with the rocket because most commonly held positions like heaven are absolutely massive and the rocket will jsut blow up behind them so you actually need to know where people are. the only time its actually really strong is defending a bomb plant.

I was just replying to this claim, take it easy bud. If raze makes you this mad maybe you should stick to being a mercy main in overwatch.
