What the hell is it with peoples obsession with arena shooters on this board? Every thread about Overwatch, Paladins, any shooter that isn't an arena shooter has to have shitposters going on an elitist autistic rampage about how the game involves no skill compared to their precious arena shooter, when arena shooters only have a slightly higher skill ceiling than something like Call of Duty.
They are the exact same fucking thing except that arena shooters mostly rely on good projectile aim while Call of Duty is all hitscan. I enjoy both arena shooters and Call of Duty but its pretty funny how arena shooter delusional elitists try to convince themselves that they aren't eating from the same trough as Call of Duty players. Team based games like Overwatch, Dirty Bomb, TF2, require all of the skills that arena shooters require but add team based cooperation on top of that which includes a whole different set of skills that arena shooters do not have.
Arena shooter is faster and has trick shot. CoD doesn't take skill cuz it' too ez

Almost all of the points they bring up involves having skill in positioning which I mentioned in my post.

OP is right
Tactical shooter masterrace. Arena shit is for socially successful normalfags who just want to chat with friends when they play

The problem with CoD is that it's marketed and developed to casuals. For example you get X kills and get a missile to hit a specific part of the map, that will give the player more kills giving a illusion of "skill"(hurr durr my K/D is 25/1 I'm better than you). Arena shooters on the other hand requires skill in various aspects like aim and positioning.
OP, you do raise some good points but the problem with the other games mentioned is that some games have unlockable classes/weapons behind a pay or grind wall. You CAN outskill players with higher gear than you but what happens when you face a opponent you the same skill as you but with higher gear? I've played Overwatch and the problem with it is that "the game have a class that is good for you", you don't have to "git gud", you don't have to train your aim, hell, with some heroes you don't even need good decision making. Thats why I think alot of people in this board don't like modern shooters.

You've never actually played an arena shooter in a decent level.
