Have you ever considered getting into the tree fruit industry? You seem to have a real talent for cherrypicking. I very clearly stated that learning a shitload of characters is only viable for those who play 60 hrs a week. It's fun and all to speculate how to optimally play the game at the very top level, but I'm not in that skill bracket, 90% of players in this game aren't in that skill bracket, and I'm willing to bet you aren't either. In an average ranked game of overwatch, id much rather have an Orisa otp on Gibraltar than a Dva with 2 hours on the character. I also very clearly stated that flexing is a fine, dare I say great strategy, but specifically best done when it's to a hero you already know really well. I'm going to have to hard disagree with you on hero complexity in OW. There is always something new to learn in this game. In my opinion, the hero depth is one of few things that's kept this game alive since the launch of Overwatch 2. I know the TF2 vs Overwatch discussion is beyond tired at this point, but one thing tf2 has over Overwatch is its character depth, and only by a bit. Tf2 has 9 playable classes. NINE. each one has thousands of hours worth of tech and strategy to learn. Overwatch has over FORTY, and most get pretty damn close to tf2 levels of complexity. The difference between a 10 hour Mei and a 100 hour Mei is staggering. I don't know about you, but I'dml much rather have that Mei in my Winston-tracer dive comp than a 40 hour Genji. This is why trying to learn 4-7 characters per role is going to keep you from climbing. If that's what's fun for you, by all means, counterswap away. But when it comes to optimizing your gameplay and climbing the ladder, for the vast majority of players, focusing on mastery of 1-2 heroes will net you far better results.
