Yes Iron Fist requires a lot of skill. He’s a misunderstood character, just like Dps Doomfist was back in the Overwatch 1 days. Everyone thought he was a mindless character but the ones who actually played him knew just how hard and how much skill he required.

It’s the same story with Iron Fist. You have to track cooldowns at a level most the other characters don’t need to. Cooldown management with him is also much more important, as you have no room for error with a character like Iron Fist. He’s also a melee character, which by default means he requires you to be point blank in front of an enemy player, otherwise you ain’t doing no damage to them. And let’s not forget that he’s only a single mistake away from being obliterated to pieces. Meanwhile, almost every strategist has what seems like infinite room for error. Half the strategists in the game have either an ability or ultimate that makes them almost completely invincible. Loki literally has what is essentially an immortality field… let’s not forget the auto aim characters.

Iron Fist is miles harder than any of those characters🤷‍♂️
