It was interesting, and I'm glad you screen-grabbed it.

I'd argue that her example of women being raised with different skill-sets in gaming is a little strange, especially when she brings up Halo in her personal anecdote, which was the first big game in the market to use the specific dual-stick control scheme for shooters. It was revolutionary.

So when she says she was playing it alongside the boys who were beating her, and she decided to quit, all it shows is that on a level playing field, women can't compete with men, and will always choose not to do so.

Basically it invalidates everything else she writes, even if there's a hint of relevance in it.

Women just can't compete with men, for any myriad of reasons, and this is why they play characters who get out of the way of the real action.

You're welcome

This is actually a lot of the same reasons I end up playing support as well. My childhood was secluded and playing single player games, and I didn't have internet or a computer until will into highschool because my family was dirt poor, so i never developed any team/competitive spirit, it any twitch skills, so I grew up to dislike multi games because they featured the things I wasn't good at.

I'm a dude and I like playing support for some of the same reasons as well, but the game is more fun when you switch up your role.

Overwatch as a whole is easier than most "twitch" games since it's less about how well you shoot, and more about how you use your abilities and pair with your team mates, so I'd recommend giving the other characters a shot, even if you feel intimidated.

Soldier 76 is a ctually a great way for people who normally play healer to get into someone slightly more offensive. He's well-rounded, in most respects, easy to use, and also has a heal ability that's good for your whole team.

Next time you're thinking of healer and it's not a competitive match, try Soldier 76.

I'd also recommend this for any girls or any "Mercy Mins"

What a fucking waste of a read its all common sense and this dumb hoe did her "Graduation thesis" on this kind of bullshit
Women are fucking retarded

Fourth point is hillarious Widow is the most ugly one out of all females in OW. Mercy definitely have more sex appeal than Widow.
